撒种的比喻(A)

耶稣又在海边教导人。有一大群人聚集到他那里,因此他上船坐下来。船在海中,群众都朝着海站在岸上。 他用比喻教训他们许多事,在教训中他说: “你们听着!有一个撒种的出去撒种, 撒的时候,有的落在路旁,小鸟飞来就吃掉了。 有的落在泥土不多的石地上,因为泥土不深,很快就长起来。 但太阳一出来,就把它晒干,又因为没有根就枯萎了。 有的落在荆棘里,荆棘长起来,把它挤住,它就结不出果实来。 有的落在好土里,就生长繁茂,结出果实,有三十倍的、有六十倍的、有一百倍的。” 耶稣又说:“有耳可听的,就应当听。”

用比喻的目的(B)

10 耶稣独自一人的时候,那些经常跟着他的人和十二门徒,来问这些比喻的意义。 11 耶稣对他们说:“ 神的国的奥秘,只给你们知道,但对于外人,一切都用比喻, 12 叫他们

‘看是看见了,却不领悟,

听是听见了,却不明白,

免得他们回转过来,得到赦免。’”

解释撒种的比喻(C)

13 耶稣又对他们说:“你们不明白这个比喻,怎能明白一切比喻呢? 14 撒种的人所撒的就是道。 15 那撒在路旁的,就是人听了道,撒但立刻来,把撒在他心里的道夺去。 16 照样,那撒在石地上的,就是人听了道,立刻欢欢喜喜地接受了; 17 可是他们里面没有根,只是暂时的;一旦为道遭遇患难,受到迫害,就立刻跌倒了。 18 那撒在荆棘里的,是指另一些人;他们听了道, 19 然而今世的忧虑、财富的迷惑,以及种种的欲望,接连进来,把道挤住,就结不出果实来。 20 那撒在好土里的,就是人听了道,接受了,并且结出果实,有三十倍的、有六十倍的、有一百倍的。”

隐藏的事终必显露(D)

21 耶稣又对他们说:“灯难道是拿来放在量器底下或床底下的吗?它不是该放在灯台上吗? 22 因为没有甚么隐藏的事不被显明出来,没有甚么掩盖的事不被揭露的。 23 有耳可听的,就应当听。”

24 耶稣又对他们说:“要留心你们所听到的,你们用甚么尺度量给人, 神也要用甚么尺度量给你们,并且要超过尺度给你们。 25 因为那有的,还要给他;那没有的,就算他有甚么也要拿去。”

种子发芽生长的比喻

26 耶稣说:“ 神的国好象人在地里撒种, 27 他夜里睡觉,白天起来,种子发芽生长,自己也不知道怎么会这样的。 28 地生五谷是自然的,先长苗,后吐穗,最后穗上结满了子粒。 29 庄稼熟了,就派人用镰刀割下,因为收成的时候到了。”

芥菜种的比喻(E)

30 又说:“我们要把 神的国比作甚么呢?我们可以用甚么比喻来形容它呢? 31 它好象一粒芥菜种,刚种下去的时候,比地上的一切种子都小, 32 种下以后,生长起来,却比一切蔬菜都大,长出大枝子,甚至天空的飞鸟都可以在它的荫下搭窝。”

33 耶稣用许多这样的比喻,照着他们所能听懂的,向他们讲道; 34 不用比喻,就不对他们讲。只有单独和自己的门徒在一起的时候,才把一切解释给他们听。

平静风浪(F)

35 当天黄昏,耶稣对门徒说:“我们渡到海那边去吧。” 36 门徒离开群众,耶稣已经在船上,他们就载他过去,也有别的船和他同去。 37 忽然起了狂风,波浪不断地打进船来,舱里积满了水。 38 耶稣却在船尾靠着枕头睡着了。门徒把他叫醒,对他说:“老师,我们要死了,你不管吗?” 39 耶稣起来,斥责了风,又对海说:“不要作声!安静吧!”风就停止,大大地平静了。 40 然后对他们说:“为甚么这样胆怯呢?你们怎么没有信心呢?” 41 门徒非常惧怕,彼此说:“这到底是谁,连风和海都听从他?”

撒種的比喻(A)

耶穌又在海邊教導人。有一大群人聚集到他那裡,因此他上船坐下來。船在海中,群眾都朝著海站在岸上。 他用比喻教訓他們許多事,在教訓中他說: “你們聽著!有一個撒種的出去撒種, 撒的時候,有的落在路旁,小鳥飛來就吃掉了。 有的落在泥土不多的石地上,因為泥土不深,很快就長起來。 但太陽一出來,就把它曬乾,又因為沒有根就枯萎了。 有的落在荊棘裡,荊棘長起來,把它擠住,它就結不出果實來。 有的落在好土裡,就生長繁茂,結出果實,有三十倍的、有六十倍的、有一百倍的。” 耶穌又說:“有耳可聽的,就應當聽。”

用比喻的目的(B)

10 耶穌獨自一人的時候,那些經常跟著他的人和十二門徒,來問這些比喻的意義。 11 耶穌對他們說:“ 神的國的奧祕,只給你們知道,但對於外人,一切都用比喻, 12 叫他們

‘看是看見了,卻不領悟,

聽是聽見了,卻不明白,

免得他們回轉過來,得到赦免。’”

解釋撒種的比喻(C)

13 耶穌又對他們說:“你們不明白這個比喻,怎能明白一切比喻呢? 14 撒種的人所撒的就是道。 15 那撒在路旁的,就是人聽了道,撒但立刻來,把撒在他心裡的道奪去。 16 照樣,那撒在石地上的,就是人聽了道,立刻歡歡喜喜地接受了; 17 可是他們裡面沒有根,只是暫時的;一旦為道遭遇患難,受到迫害,就立刻跌倒了。 18 那撒在荊棘裡的,是指另一些人;他們聽了道, 19 然而今世的憂慮、財富的迷惑,以及種種的慾望,接連進來,把道擠住,就結不出果實來。 20 那撒在好土裡的,就是人聽了道,接受了,並且結出果實,有三十倍的、有六十倍的、有一百倍的。”

隱藏的事終必顯露(D)

21 耶穌又對他們說:“燈難道是拿來放在量器底下或床底下的嗎?它不是該放在燈臺上嗎? 22 因為沒有甚麼隱藏的事不被顯明出來,沒有甚麼掩蓋的事不被揭露的。 23 有耳可聽的,就應當聽。”

24 耶穌又對他們說:“要留心你們所聽到的,你們用甚麼尺度量給人, 神也要用甚麼尺度量給你們,並且要超過尺度給你們。 25 因為那有的,還要給他;那沒有的,就算他有甚麼也要拿去。”

種子發芽生長的比喻

26 耶穌說:“ 神的國好像人在地裡撒種, 27 他夜裡睡覺,白天起來,種子發芽生長,自己也不知道怎麼會這樣的。 28 地生五穀是自然的,先長苗,後吐穗,最後穗上結滿了子粒。 29 莊稼熟了,就派人用鐮刀割下,因為收成的時候到了。”

芥菜種的比喻(E)

30 又說:“我們要把 神的國比作甚麼呢?我們可以用甚麼比喻來形容它呢? 31 它好像一粒芥菜種,剛種下去的時候,比地上的一切種子都小, 32 種下以後,生長起來,卻比一切蔬菜都大,長出大枝子,甚至天空的飛鳥都可以在它的蔭下搭窩。”

33 耶穌用許多這樣的比喻,照著他們所能聽懂的,向他們講道; 34 不用比喻,就不對他們講。只有單獨和自己的門徒在一起的時候,才把一切解釋給他們聽。

平靜風浪(F)

35 當天黃昏,耶穌對門徒說:“我們渡到海那邊去吧。” 36 門徒離開群眾,耶穌已經在船上,他們就載他過去,也有別的船和他同去。 37 忽然起了狂風,波浪不斷地打進船來,艙裡積滿了水。 38 耶穌卻在船尾靠著枕頭睡著了。門徒把他叫醒,對他說:“老師,我們要死了,你不管嗎?” 39 耶穌起來,斥責了風,又對海說:“不要作聲!安靜吧!”風就停止,大大地平靜了。 40 然後對他們說:“為甚麼這樣膽怯呢?你們怎麼沒有信心呢?” 41 門徒非常懼怕,彼此說:“這到底是誰,連風和海都聽從他?”

撒種的比喻

耶穌又到湖邊講道,周圍聚集了許多人,耶穌只好上到湖邊的船上坐下,眾人都站在岸上。 耶穌用比喻教導他們許多事,在教導中祂說: 「聽著!有一個農夫出去撒種。 撒種的時候,有些種子落在路旁,被飛鳥吃掉了; 有些落在石頭地上,因為泥土不深,種子很快就發芽了, 然而因為沒有根,被太陽一曬就枯萎了; 有些落在荊棘叢中,荊棘長起來便把嫩苗擠住了,以致不能結實; 有些落在沃土裡,就發芽生長,結出果實,收成多達三十倍、六十倍、一百倍!」 然後祂說:「有耳可聽的,都應當聽。」

10 當耶穌獨自一人的時候,十二使徒和追隨祂的人來請教比喻的意思。 11 耶穌說:「上帝國的奧祕只讓你們知道,對於外人,我只用比喻, 12 使他們『看了又看,卻不領悟;聽了又聽,卻不明白,免得他們回心轉意,得到赦免。』」

13 耶穌又對他們說:「你們不明白這個比喻,又怎能明白其他比喻呢? 14 農夫撒的是上帝的道。 15 種子落在路旁,是指人聽了道,撒旦立刻過來奪去了撒在他們心裡的道。 16 種子落在石頭地上,是指人聽了道後,立刻歡喜地接受了, 17 但他們心裡沒有根基,不過是暫時接受,一旦為道遭受患難和迫害,就立刻放棄了。 18 種子落在荊棘叢中,是指人雖然聽過道, 19 但生活的憂慮、錢財的迷惑和其他慾望把道擠住了,以致不能結出果實。 20 種子落在沃土裡,是指人聽了道,領受了,又結出果實,收成多達三十倍、六十倍、甚至一百倍。」

燈的比喻

21 耶穌繼續說:「人會把燈拿來放在籃子底下或床底下嗎?當然不會,他一定會把它放在燈臺上。 22 隱藏的事是不能掩蓋的,終會顯露出來。 23 有耳可聽的,就應當聽。」 24 耶穌又說:「要好好思想你們所聽到的,你們用什麼量器量給人,就用什麼量器量給你們,甚至要多給你們。 25 因為凡有的,還要給他更多;凡沒有的,連他僅有的也要奪去!」

種子生長的比喻

26 祂又說:「上帝的國就像一個人在地上撒種。 27 他天天日出而作,日落而息。種子就在他不知不覺中漸漸發芽長大。 28 大地會使種子生長,先發苗後吐穗,最終結出飽滿的籽粒。 29 莊稼成熟後,他就拿起鐮刀來收割,因為收成的時候到了。」

芥菜種的比喻

30 耶穌說:「我們拿什麼比作上帝的國呢?用什麼比喻來解釋呢? 31 上帝的國就像一粒芥菜種。它是種子中最小的, 32 但種在地裡,卻能長得比各樣蔬菜都大,有粗大的枝條,可以讓飛鳥在它的樹蔭中築巢。」

33 耶穌用了許多類似的比喻,按照眾人所能領悟的,把上帝的道講給他們聽。 34 祂總是用比喻對他們講論,只有單獨和門徒在一起的時候,才把一切解釋清楚。

平息風浪

35 那天晚上,耶穌對門徒說:「我們渡到對面去吧。」 36 他們就離開眾人,上了耶穌乘坐的船,一起渡到湖的對岸,還有其他船隻跟著去。 37 忽然,湖面上狂風大作,波浪撞擊船身,船內幾乎灌滿了水。 38 耶穌卻還在船尾枕著枕頭睡覺。門徒叫醒了祂,說:「老師,我們快淹死了,你怎麼不管呢?」

39 耶穌起來斥責狂風,對著湖面說:「靜下來!停下來!」於是就風平浪靜了。 40 祂對門徒說:「你們為什麼這樣害怕呢?你們還是沒有信心嗎?」

41 他們極其害怕,彼此議論說:「祂到底是誰?連風浪都聽祂的!」

And again he began to teach by the sea. And a great crowd was gathered together to him, so that going on board ship he sat in the sea, and all the crowd were close to the sea on the land.

And he taught them many things in parables. And he said to them in his doctrine,

Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow.

And it came to pass as he sowed, one fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured it.

And another fell on the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprung up out [of the ground] because it had no depth of earth;

and when the sun arose it was burnt up, and because of its not having any root, it withered.

And another fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

And another fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and bore, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.

And he said, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

10 And when he was alone, those about him with the twelve asked him [as to] the parables.

11 And he said to them, To you is given [to know] the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them who are without, all things are done in parables,

12 that beholding they may behold and not see, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest it may be, they should be converted and they should be forgiven.

13 And he says to them, Do ye not know this parable? and how will ye be acquainted with all the parables?

14 The sower sows the word:

15 and these are they by the wayside where the word is sown, and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

16 And these are they in like manner who are sown upon the rocky places, who when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy,

17 and they have no root in themselves, but are for a time: then, tribulation arising, or persecution on account of the word, immediately they are offended.

18 And others are they who are sown among the thorns: these are they who have heard the word,

19 and the cares of life, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

20 And these are they who have been sown on the good ground, such as hear the word and receive it, and bear fruit; one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred [fold].

21 And he said to them, Does the lamp come that it should be put under the bushel or under the couch? [Is it] not that it should be set upon the lamp-stand?

22 For there is nothing hidden which shall not be made manifest; nor does any secret thing take place, but that it should come to light.

23 If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.

24 And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear; with what measure ye mete, it shall be meted to you; and there shall be [more] added to you.

25 For whosoever has, to him shall be given; and he who has not, even what he has shall be taken from him.

26 And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast the seed upon the earth,

27 and should sleep and rise up night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he does not know how.

28 The earth bears fruit of itself, first [the] blade, then an ear, then full corn in the ear.

29 But when the fruit is produced, immediately he sends the sickle, for the harvest is come.

30 And he said, How should we liken the kingdom of God, or with what comparison should we compare it?

31 As to a grain of mustard [seed], which, when it is sown upon the earth, is less than all seeds which are upon the earth,

32 and when it has been sown, mounts up and becomes greater than all herbs, and produces great branches, so that the birds of heaven can roost under its shadow.

33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear,

34 but without a parable spoke he not to them; and in private he explained all things to his disciples.

35 And on that day, when evening was come, he says to them, Let us go over to the other side:

36 and having sent away the crowd, they take him with [them], as he was, in the ship. But other ships also were with him.

37 And there comes a violent gust of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it already filled.

38 And *he* was in the stern sleeping on the cushion. And they awake him up and say to him, Teacher, dost thou not care that we are perishing?

39 And awaking up he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Silence; be mute. And the wind fell, and there was a great calm.

40 And he said to them, Why are ye [thus] fearful? how [is it] ye have not faith?

41 And they feared [with] great fear, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
