撒種的比喻
13 那一天，耶穌從屋子裡出來，在湖邊[a]坐下。 2 有一大群人聚集到他那裡，所以他上了一條船坐下來。眾人都站在岸邊。
3 耶穌用比喻對他們講了很多事。他說：「看哪，有一個撒種的出去撒種。 4 他撒的時候，有些種子落在路邊，飛鳥來把它們吃掉了。 5 有些落在岩石地上，那裡沒有多少泥土，它們立刻就發芽了，因為土不深； 6 當太陽升起，它們被暴曬，就枯萎了，因為沒有根。 7 有些落進荊棘叢裡，荊棘長起來，就把它們擠住了。 8 但是另有落在好土壤上的，就不斷地結出果實來，有一百倍的，有六十倍的，有三十倍的。 9 凡是有耳的[b]，就應當聽！」
用比喻的原因
10 門徒們上前來，問耶穌：「你對他們講話，為什麼用比喻呢？」
11 耶穌回答他們，說：「天國的奧祕已經賜下來讓你們知道，而沒有賜給那些人； 12 因為凡是有的，還要賜給他，使他豐足有餘；凡是沒有的，連他有的也將從他那裡被拿走。 13 我之所以用比喻對他們說，是因為他們雖然看了，卻看不見；聽了，卻聽不進，也不領悟。 14 在他們身上，正應驗了以賽亞的預言，他說：
『你們將聽了又聽，但絕不會領悟；
你們將看了又看，但絕不會明白；
15 因為這子民的心麻木了，
他們充耳不聞，眼睛閉著；
免得他們眼睛看見，耳朵聽見，心裡領悟，
回轉過來，我就使他們痊癒。』[c]
16 「但你們的眼睛是蒙福的，因為看見了；你們的耳朵是蒙福的，因為聽見了。 17 我確實地告訴你們：曾經有許多先知和義人渴望看你們所看見的，卻沒有看到；渴望聽你們所聽見的，卻沒有聽到。
解明撒種的比喻
18 「所以，你們應當聽這撒種的比喻： 19 無論誰聽了天國的話語而不領悟，那惡者就來，把那撒在他心裡的奪走；這就是那被撒上種子的『路邊之地』。 20 那被撒上種子的『岩石地』是這樣的人：他聽了這話語，立刻懷著喜樂的心接受了它； 21 只是他裡面沒有根而不能持久，一旦為這話語受患難或逼迫，他立刻就放棄[d]了。 22 那被撒進種子的『荊棘叢』是這樣的人：他聽了這話語，但今世的憂慮和財富的迷惑把話語擠住了，他就成了不結果實的。 23 那被撒上種子的『好土壤』是這樣的人：他聽了這話語，就領悟了，必然結出果實來，結出的有一百倍的、有六十倍的、有三十倍的。」
稗子的比喻
24 耶穌對他們講了另一個比喻說：「天國好比一個人把好種子撒在自己的田裡。 25 但是當人們睡覺的時候，他的仇敵來把稗子撒在麥子中間，然後離開了。 26 到了麥苗長大結穗的時候，稗子也顯出來了。 27 奴僕前來問那家的主人，說：『主人，你不是把好種子撒在你的田裡嗎？從哪裡來的這些稗子呢？』
28 「主人告訴他們：『這是仇敵做的。』
「奴僕問：『那麼，你要我們去把稗子拔掉嗎？』
29 「主人說：『不，免得你們把稗子拔掉的時候，也把麥子一同連根拔出來。 30 讓兩樣一起長吧，直到收割的季節。在收割的時候，我要吩咐收割的人先把稗子拔掉，把它們綁成一捆一捆的好去燒掉，然後把麥子收進我的倉庫裡。』」
芥菜種與麵酵
31 耶穌對他們講了另一個比喻說：「天國好比一粒芥菜種子，有人拿去種在他的田裡。 32 它雖然比所有的種子更小，長大以後，卻比各種蔬菜更大，成了一棵樹，結果天空的飛鳥來了，在它的枝子上搭窩。」
33 耶穌又對他們講了另一個比喻：「天國好比酵母，一個婦人拿去拌在[e]三斗[f]麵裡，直到整團麵都發了酵。」
使用比喻
34 耶穌用比喻向人群講了這一切；他向他們講話，沒有不用比喻的。 35 這是為要應驗那藉著先知所說的話：
「我要開口，
用比喻說出創世以來被隱藏的事。」[g]
解明稗子的比喻
36 然後，耶穌離開了人群，進了屋子。他的門徒們上前來，說：「請給我們解釋一下田裡稗子的比喻。」
37 耶穌回答說：「那撒好種子的是人子。 38 田地是這世界，這些好種子就是天國的兒女，稗子是那惡者的兒女， 39 撒稗子的仇敵是魔鬼，收割的季節是世代的終結，收割的人是天使。 40 就像稗子被拔出來用火燒掉，在這世代的終結也將是這樣。 41 人子要差派他的天使們，從他的國度裡挑出來所有絆腳的和作惡[h]的， 42 把他們丟進火爐裡。在那裡將有哀哭和切齒。 43 那時，義人會在他們父的國度裡像太陽一樣發光。凡是有耳的[i]，就應當聽！
藏寶與尋珠
44 「天國好比被藏在田裡的財寶。有人發現了，就把它再藏起來，然後高高興興地去賣掉他所擁有的一切，買下了那塊地。
45 「天國又好比一個商人尋找精美的珍珠。 46 當他發現了一顆極其貴重的珍珠，就去賣掉他所擁有的一切，買下了那顆珍珠。
漁網的比喻
47 「天國又好比一張漁網撒在海裡，網到了各種魚類。 48 網一滿了，漁夫們就把它拉上岸來，然後坐下，把好的收進筐裡，把壞的丟在外面。 49 在這世代的終結也將是這樣。天使們要出去，把惡人從義人中分別出來， 50 丟進火爐裡。在那裡將有哀哭和切齒。」
真理的寶庫
51 耶穌問他們[j]：「這一切你們都領悟了嗎？」
他們說：「是的，領悟了[k]。」
52 耶穌對他們說：「為此，凡是成為天國門徒的經文士，就好比一家的主人，從他的寶庫裡拿出新的和舊的東西來。」 53 當耶穌講完了這些比喻，就離開了那地方。
在拿撒勒被拒絕
54 他來到自己的家鄉，在他們的會堂裡教導人，以致他們驚嘆不已，說：「這個人的這種智慧和能力是從哪裡來的呢？ 55 這不就是那木匠的兒子嗎？他的母親不是叫瑪麗亞嗎？他的弟弟們[l]不是雅各、約西[m]、西門和猶大嗎？ 56 他的妹妹們[n]不是都和我們在一起的嗎？那麼，他這一切是從哪裡來的呢？」 57 這樣，他們就對耶穌很反感[o]。
耶穌對他們說：「先知除了在本鄉、本家以外，沒有不受尊重的。」 58 因為他們的不信，耶穌在那裡就沒有行很多神蹟。

撒種的比喻
13 當天，耶穌離開房子，坐在湖邊。 2 有一大群人聚集到祂周圍，祂只好上船坐下，眾人都站在岸上。 3 祂用比喻向他們講許多道理，說：「有一個農夫出去撒種。 4 撒種的時候，有些種子落在路旁，被飛鳥吃掉了； 5 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， 6 被太陽一曬，就枯萎了； 7 有些落在荊棘叢中，荊棘長起來便把嫩苗擠住了； 8 有些落在沃土裡，就結出果實，收成多達三十倍、六十倍、一百倍。 9 有耳朵的，都應當聽。」
用比喻的目的
10 門徒上前問耶穌：「你為什麼要用比喻來教導他們呢？」
11 耶穌回答說：「天國的奧祕只讓你們知道，不讓他們知道。 12 因為凡有的，還要給他更多，他就豐富有餘；凡沒有的，連他僅有的也要奪去。 13 我用比喻教導他們是因為他們視而不見，聽而不聞，聞而不悟。 14 以賽亞的預言正應驗在他們身上，
『你們聽了又聽，卻不明白；
看了又看，卻不領悟。
15 因為這些人心靈麻木，
耳朵發背，眼睛昏花，
以致眼睛看不見，耳朵聽不見，
心裡不明白，無法回心轉意，
得不到我的醫治。』
16 「但你們的眼睛是有福的，因為看得見；你們的耳朵也是有福的，因為聽得見。 17 我實在告訴你們，以前有許多先知和義人曾渴望看見你們所看見的，聽見你們所聽見的，卻未能如願。
解釋比喻
18 「所以，你們應當留心這撒種的比喻。 19 種子落在路旁，是指人聽了天國的道理卻不明白，魔鬼乘虛而入，把撒在他心裡的奪走了； 20 種子落在石頭地上，是指人聽了道後，立刻歡喜地接受了， 21 但因為他心裡沒有根基，不過是暫時接受，一旦為道遭受患難或迫害，就立刻放棄了信仰； 22 種子落在荊棘叢中，是指人雖然聽過道，但生活的憂慮和錢財的迷惑把道擠住了，以致不能結出果實； 23 種子落在沃土裡，是指人聽了道，並明白了道，就結出果實來，有的多達一百倍，有的六十倍，有的三十倍。」
毒麥的比喻
24 耶穌又給他們講了一個比喻，說：「天國就像一個人，將好種子撒在田裡。 25 人們睡覺的時候，仇敵過來把毒麥撒在他的麥田裡，就走了。 26 當麥子長苗吐穗時，毒麥也長起來了。 27 奴僕看見了就來問主人，『主人啊！你不是把好種子撒在田裡了嗎？從哪裡來的毒麥呢？』
28 「主人回答說，『這是仇敵做的。』奴僕問道，『要我們去拔掉它們嗎？』
29 「主人說，『不用了，因為拔毒麥會連麥子一起拔掉。 30 讓它們跟麥子一起生長吧，到收割的時候，我會吩咐收割的工人先把毒麥收集起來，紮成捆，留著燒，然後將麥子存入穀倉。』」
芥菜種和麵酵的比喻
31 耶穌又給他們講了一個比喻：「天國就像一粒芥菜種，人把它種在田裡。 32 它雖然是種子中最小的，卻長得比其他蔬菜都大，並且長成一棵樹，天空的飛鳥也來棲息。」
33 祂又對他們講了個比喻：「天國就像麵酵，婦人拿來摻在三斗麵裡，使整盆麵都發起來。」
34 耶穌總是用比喻對眾人講這些事，祂每次對他們講話時都用比喻。 35 這是要應驗先知的話：「我要開口講比喻，道出創世以來隱藏的事。」
解釋毒麥的比喻
36 後來，耶穌離開人群，進到屋裡。門徒也跟著進去，對耶穌說：「請為我們解釋毒麥的比喻。」
37 耶穌說：「那撒下好種子的就是人子， 38 麥田代表整個世界，那些好種子就是天國的子民。毒麥就是那些屬於魔鬼的人， 39 撒毒麥的仇敵就是魔鬼。收割的日子便是世界的末日，收割的工人就是天使。
40 「毒麥怎樣被拔出來丟在火裡燒，同樣，在世界末日的時候， 41 人子也將派天使把一切引人犯罪和作孽的人從祂國裡挑出來， 42 丟進火裡。那時，他們將在那裡哀哭切齒。 43 那時，義人要在他們天父的國度像太陽一樣發出光輝。有耳朵的，都應當聽。
寶藏與珍珠的比喻
44 「天國就像藏在地裡的寶貝，有人發現了，就把它埋好，然後歡然變賣他所有的財產去買那塊地。
45 「天國就像一個四處搜購貴重珍珠的商人。 46 他找到一顆極貴重的珍珠，就變賣了一切的產業，把它買下來。
撒網的比喻
47 「天國就像一張漁網，撒在海裡捕到了各種魚。 48 網滿了，人們把網拉上岸，然後坐下來挑選，好的就收起來，不好的就丟掉。 49 世界末日的時候也是這樣。天使必把惡人從義人中揀出來， 50 丟在火爐裡，讓惡人在那裡哀哭切齒。 51 你們明白這些事了嗎？」
他們回答說：「我們明白了。」
52 耶穌說：「律法教師成為天國的門徒後，就像一個家的主人，能從他的庫房裡拿出新的和舊的東西來。」
拿撒勒人厭棄耶穌
53 耶穌講完了這些比喻，就離開那裡， 54 回到自己的家鄉拿撒勒，在會堂裡教導人。人們很驚奇，說：「這個人從哪裡得到如此的智慧和神奇的能力呢？ 55 這不是那木匠的兒子嗎？祂母親不是瑪麗亞嗎？祂的弟弟不是雅各、約瑟、西門和猶大嗎？ 56 祂的妹妹們不也是住在我們這裡嗎？祂究竟從哪裡得來這一身本領呢？」 57 他們就對祂很反感。
耶穌對他們說：「先知到處受人尊敬，只有在本鄉本家例外。」 58 因為他們不信，耶穌就沒有在那裡多行神蹟。

مَثَلُ البِذَار
(مَرْقُس 4:1-9؛ لُوقَا 8:4-8)
13 فِي ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ، تَرَكَ يَسُوعُ البَيْتَ وَجَلَسَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ البُحَيرَةِ. 2 فَاجتَمَعَتْ حَوْلَهُ جَمَاهِيرُ كَثِيرَةٌ. فصَعِدَ إلَى قَارِبٍ وَجَلَسَ فِيهِ، بَيْنَمَا وَقَفَ النَّاسُ عَلَى الشَّاطِئِ. 3 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ أشْيَاءَ كَثِيرَةً بِأمثَالٍ. فَقَالَ لَهُمْ:
«خَرَجَ فَلَّاحٌ لِيَبْذُرَ. 4 وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَبْذُرُ، وَقَعَ بَعْضُ البِذَارِ إلَى جَانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ، فَجَاءَتِ الطُيُورُ وَأكَلَتهُ. 5 وَوَقَعَ بَعْضُ البِذَارِ عَلَى أرْضٍ صَخرِيَّةٍ، حَيْثُ لَا تُوجَدُ تُربَةٌ كَافِيَةٌ، فَنَمَتِ الحُبُوبُ بِسُرعَةٍ لِأنَّ التُّربَةَ لَمْ تَكُنْ عَميقَةً. 6 لَكِنْ عِنْدَمَا أشرَقَتِ الشَّمْسُ احتَرَقَتْ، وَلِأنَّهَا كَانَتْ بِلَا جُذورٍ ذَبُلَتْ. 7 وَوَقَعَ بَعْضُ البِذَارِ عَلَىْ الأشوَاكِ. فَنَمَتِ الأشوَاكُ وَعَطَّلَتْ نُمُوَّهُ. 8 وَوَقَعَتْ بُذُورٌ أُخْرَى عَلَى الأرْضِ الصَّالِحَةِ فَأثْمَرَ بَعْضُهَا مِئَةَ ضِعفٍ، وَبَعْضُهَا سِتِّينَ ضِعفًا، وَبَعْضُهَا ثَلَاثِينَ ضِعفًا. 9 مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ.»
لِمَاذَا يعلِّمُ يَسُوعُ بِأمثَال
(مَرْقُس 4:10-12؛ لُوقَا 8:9-10)
10 وَجَاءَ إلَيْهِ التَّلَامِيذُ وَسَألُوهُ: «لِمَاذَا تَتَكَلَّمُ إلَيْهِمْ بِاسْتِخدَامِ الأمثلةِ الرَمزيَّةِ؟»
11 فَأجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَقَدْ أعطَاكُمُ اللهُ امتِيَازَ مَعْرِفَةِ سِرِّ مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْطِهِ لَهُمْ. 12 لِأنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَمْلِكُ[a] سَيُزَادُ لَهُ، وَيَفِيضُ عَنْهُ، أمَّا الَّذِي لَا يَمْلِكُ، فَسَيُنتَزَعُ مِنْهُ مَا لَهُ. 13 لِهَذَا أتَكَلَّمُ إلَيْهِمْ بِأمثَالٍ، فَمَعْ أنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَ، إلَّا أنَّهُمْ لَا يُدرِكُونَ. وَمَعَ أنَّهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ، إلَّا أنَّهُمْ لَا يَفْهَمُونَ. 14 وَبِهَذَا تَنْطَبِقُ عَلَيْهِمْ نُبُوَّةُ إشَعْيَاءَ:
‹سَتَسْمَعُونَ وَتَسْمَعُونَ،
لَكِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَفْهَمُوا.
وَسَتَنْظُرُونَ وَتَنْظُرُونَ،
لَكِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تُبْصِرُوا.
15 فَقَدْ صَارَ ذِهْنُ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ بَلِيدًا،
وَصَارَ سَمَعُهُمْ ثَقيلًا.
أغمَضُوا عُيُونَهُمْ،
فَلَا يَقْدِرُونَ أنْ يُلَاحِظُوا بِعُيُونِهِمْ،
وَلَا أنْ يَسْمَعُوا بِآذَانِهِمْ،
وَلَا أنْ يَفْهَمُوا بِقُلُوبِهِمْ،
لِكَيْ لَا يَرْجِعُوا إلَيَّ فَأَشْفِيَهُمْ.›[b]
16 أمَّا أنْتُمْ فَهَنِيئًا لِعُيُونِكُمْ لِأنَّهَا تَرَى، وَآذَانِكُمْ لِأنَّهَا تَسْمَعُ. 17 أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ، إنَّ مُلُوكًا وَأبْرَارًا كَثِيرِينَ اشْتَاقُوا أنْ يَرَوْا مَا تَرَوْنَ وَلَمْ يَرَوْا، وَاشْتَهَوْا أنْ يَسْمَعُوا مَا تَسْمَعُونَ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا.
مَعنَى مَثَلِ البِذَار
(مَرْقُس 4:13-20؛ لُوقَا 8:11-15)
18 «فَاسْتَمِعُوا إلَى شَرْحِ مَثَلِ البِذَارِ: 19 عِنْدَمَا يَسْمَعُ شَخْصٌ رِسَالَةَ المَلَكُوتِ وَلَا يَفْهَمُهَا، يَأتِي الشِّرِّيرُ[c] وَيَأْخُذُ البُذُورَ الَّتِي زُرِعَتْ فِي قَلْبِهِ. هَذَا هُوَ مَعنَى البُذُورِ الَّتِي سَقَطَتْ إلَى جَانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ.
20 «أمَّا الَّتِي سَقَطَتْ عَلَى الأرْضِ الصَّخرِيَّةِ، فَتُشْبِهُ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ الكَلِمَةَ فَيَقْبَلُهَا حَالًا بِفَرَحٍ، 21 لَكِنْ لِأنَّهُ بِلَا جُذُورٍ فِي نَفْسِهِ، فَإنَّهُ يَصْمُدُ لِوَقْتٍ قَصِيرٍ، وَعِنْدَمَا يَأتِي الضِّيقُ وَالاضْطِهَادُ بِسَبَبِ الكَلِمَةِ الَّتِي قَبِلَهَا، يَفْقِدُ إيمَانَهُ سَرِيعًا.
22 «أمَّا الَّتِي سَقَطَتْ بَيْنَ الأشوَاكِ، فَتُشبِهُ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ الكَلِمَةَ، لَكِّنَّ هُمُومَ الحَيَاةِ، وَإغرَاءاتِ المَالِ تَخْنُقُ الكَلِمَةَ، فَلَا تُثمِرُ.
23 «أمَّا الَّذِي زُرِعَ عَلَى الأرْضِ الصَّالِحَةِ، فَهُوَ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ الكَلِمَةَ وَيَفْهَمُهَا فَيُثمِرَ بِالفِعِلِ. فَيَحْصُدَ مَرَّةً مِئَةَ ضِعفٍ، وَمَرَّةً سِتِّينَ ضِعفًا، وَمَرَّةً ثَلَاثِينَ ضِعفًا.»
مَثَلُ القَمْحِ وَالأعشَابِ الضَّارَّة
24 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا آخَرَ: «يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ رَجُلًا زَرَعَ بُذُورًا جَيِّدَةً فِي حَقلِهِ. 25 وَلَكِنْ بَيْنَمَا كَانَ النَّاسُ نَائِمِينَ، جَاءَ عَدُوُّ الرَّجُلِ وَبَذَرَ أعشَابًا ضَارَّةً بَيْنَ القَمْحِ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ. 26 وَعِنْدَمَا نَبَتَ القَمْحُ وَشَكَّلَ سَنَابِلَ، نَبَتَتِ الأعشَابُ الضَّارَّةُ كَذَلِكَ. 27 فَجَاءَ إلَيْهِ عَبِيدُهُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: ‹يَا سَيِّدُ، ألَمْ تَزْرَعْ بُذُورًا جَيِدَةً فِي حَقلِكَ؟ فَمِنْ أيْنَ إذًا جَاءَتْ هَذِهِ الأعشَابُ الضَّارَّةُ؟›
28 «فَأجَابَهُمُ الرَّجُلُ: ‹عَدُوِّي فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ.› فَسَألَهُ عَبِيدُهُ: ‹هَلْ تُرِيدُنَا أنْ نَذهَبَ وَنَقتَلِعَهَا؟›
29 «فَأجَابَ الرَّجُلُ: ‹لَا، لِأنَّكُمْ عِنْدَمَا تَقْتَلِعُونَ الأعشَابَ الضَّارَّةَ، قَدْ تَقْتَلِعُونَ القَمْحَ مَعَهَا. 30 دَعُوهُمَا يَنْمُوانِ مَعًا حَتَّى وَقْتِ الحَصَادِ، حِينَئِذٍ سَأقُولُ لِلحَصَّادِينَ: اجمَعُوا الأعشَابَ الضَّارَّةَ أوَّلًا، وَاحزِمُوهَا فِي حُزَمٍ لِلحَرِيقِ. أمَّا القَمْحُ فَاجمَعُوهُ وَضَعُوهُ فِي مِخزَنِي.›»
مَثَلُ نُمُوِّ بِذرَةِ الخَردَلِ
(مَرْقُس 4:30-34؛ لُوقَا 13:18-21)
31 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ مَثَلًا آخَرَ: «يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِذرَةَ خَردَلٍ أخَذَهَا إنْسَانٌ وَزَرَعَهَا فِي حَقلِهِ. 32 إنَّهَا أصغَرُ البُذُورِ. لَكِنْ عِنْدَمَا تَنْمُو، فَإنَّهَا تَكُونُ أكبَرَ نَبَاتَاتِ البَسَاتِينِ، إذْ تُصبِحُ شَجَرَةً كَبِيرَةً، حَتَّىْ إنَّ طُيورَ السَّمَاءِ تَأْتِي إلَيْهَا، وَتَصْنَعُ أعشَاشَهَا فِي أغْصَانِهَا.»
مَثَلُ الخَمِيرَة
33 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا آخَرَ: «يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ خَمِيرَةً أخَذَتْهَا امْرأةٌ وَخَلَطَتْهَا فِي ثَلَاثَةِ مَقَادِيرَ مِنَ الطَّحِينِ حَتَّى اختَمَرَ العَجِينُ كُلُّهُ.»
34 قَالَ يَسُوعُ كُلَّ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ مُسْتَخْدِمًا الأمثَالَ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ إلَّا بِأمثَالٍ. 35 فَهَذَا هُوَ مَا قَالَهُ اللهُ عَلَىْ لِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ:
«سَأفتَحُ فَمِي بِأمثَالٍ،
وَسَأنطِقُ بِأُمُورٍ مَخفِيَّةٍ مُنْذُ أنْ خُلِقَ العَالَمُ.»[d]
مَعنى مَثَلِ القَمْحِ وَالأعشَابِ الضَّارَّة
36 حِينَئِذٍ صَرَفَ يَسُوعُ الجُمُوعَ، وَدَخَلَ إلَى البَيْتِ. فَتَقَدَّمَ إلَيْهِ تَلَامِيذُهُ وَقَالُوا: «اشْرَحْ لَنَا مَثَلَ الأعشَابِ الضَّارَّةِ فِي الحَقْلِ.»
37 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «الَّذِي زَرَعَ البُذُورَ الجَيِّدَةَ هُوَ ابْنُ الإنْسَانِ، 38 وَالحَقلُ هُوَ العَالَمُ، وَالبُذُورُ الجَيِّدَةُ هُمُ الَّذِينَ لَهُمُ المَلَكُوتُ. أمَّا الأعشَابُ الضَّارَّةُ فَهُمُ الَّذِينَ يَنْتَمُونَ إلَى الشِّرِّيرِ. 39 وَالعَدُوُّ الَّذِي بَذَرَهُمْ هُوَ إبْلِيسُ. وَالحَصَادُ هُوَ نِهَايَةُ العَالَمِ. وَالحَصَّادُونَ هُمُ المَلَائِكَةُ.
40 «وَكَمَا أنَّ الأعشَابَ الضَّارَّةَ تُجمَعُ وَتُحرَقُ بِالنَّارِ، هَكَذَا سَتَكُونُ نِهَايَةُ العَالَمِ. 41 إذْ سَيُرسِلُ ابْنُ الإنْسَانِ مَلَائِكَتَهُ الَّذِينَ سَيَجْمَعُونَ مِنْ مَلَكُوتِهِ كُلَّ المُفسِدِينَ وَالأشرَارِ، 42 ثُمَّ يَطْرَحُونَهُمْ فِي الفُرنِ المُشْتَعِلِ. هُنَاكَ يَبْكِي النَّاسُ وَيَصِرُّونَ عَلَى أسنَانِهِمْ. 43 حِينَئِذٍ سَيَسْطَعُ الأبْرَارُ كَالشَّمْسِ فِي مَلَكُوتِ أبِيهِمْ. مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ، فَلْيَسْمَعْ.
مَثَلَا الكَنْزِ وَالَلُؤلُؤَة
44 «يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ كَنْزًا مَدْفُونًا فِي حَقْلٍ. وَجَدَهُ شَخْصٌ فَدَفَنَهُ ثَانِيَةً. وَلِشِدَّةِ فَرَحِهِ، ذَهَبَ وَبَاعَ كُلَّ مَا يَمْلِكُهُ وَاشتَرَى ذَلِكَ الحَقلَ.
45 «وَيُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ تَاجِرًا يَبْحَثُ عَنْ لآلِئَ جَمِيلَةٍ. 46 وَعِنْدَمَا وَجَدَ لُؤلُؤَةً ثَمِينَةً جِدًّا، ذَهَبَ وَبَاعَ كُلَّ مَا يَمْلِكُهُ وَاشْتَرَاهَا.
مَثَلُ شَبَكَةِ الصَّيد
47 «وَيُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ شَبَكَةً أُلقِيَتْ إلَى البُحَيرَةِ، وَأمسَكَتْ سَمَكًا مِنْ أنوَاعٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ. 48 وَعِنْدَمَا امتَلأتِ الشَّبَكَةُ، سَحَبَهَا الصَّيَّادُونَ إلَى الشَّاطِئِ. ثُمَّ جَلَسُوا وَأخَذُوا يَختَارُونَ السَّمَكَ الجَيِّدَ وَيَضَعُونَهُ فِي سِلَالٍ، أمَّا السَّمَكُ الرَّدِيءُ فَألقَوْهُ خَارِجًا. 49 هَذَا مَا سَيَحْدُثُ فِي نِهَايَةِ العَالَمِ، إذْ سَتَأْتِي المَلَائِكَةُ وَسَتَفْصِلُ الأشرَارَ عَنِ الأبْرَارِ، 50 ثُمَّ تُلقِي الأشرَارَ إلَى الفُرنِ المُشْتَعِلِ. هُنَاكَ يَبْكِي النَّاسُ وَيَصِرُّونَ عَلَى أسنَانِهِمْ.»
51 وَسَألَ يَسُوعُ تَلَامِيذَهُ: «هَلْ تَفْهَمُونَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ؟» فَأجَابُوا: «نَعَمْ.»
52 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لِذَلِكَ كُلُّ مُعَلِّمٍ لِلشَّرِيعَةِ يَتَعَلَّمُ عَنْ مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ، هُوَ مِثْلُ رَبِّ بَيْتٍ يُخرِجُ مِنْ مَخزَنِ البَيْتِ أشْيَاءَ جَدِيدَةً وَأشْيَاءَ عَتِيقَةً.»
يَسُوعُ يَذْهَبُ إلَى مَدِينَتِه
(مَرْقُس 6:1-6؛ لُوقَا 4:16-30)
53 وَلَمَّا انْتَهَى يَسُوعُ مِنَ سَرْدِ تِلْكَ الأمثَالِ، تَرَكَ ذَلِكَ المَكَانَ. 54 وَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ إلَى بَلدَتِهِ، ابتَدَأ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ فِي مَجمَعِهِمْ. فَاندَهَشَ الجَمِيعُ وَقَالُوا: «مِنْ أيْنَ جَاءَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ بِهَذِهِ الحِكْمَةِ وَهَذِهِ المُعجِزَاتِ؟ 55 ألَيْسَ هُوَ ابْنَ النَّجَّارِ؟ ألَيْسَتْ أُمُّهُ مَرْيَمَ؟ ألَيْسَ إخْوَتُهُ يَعْقُوبَ وَيُوسُفَ وَسِمعَانَ وَيَهُوذَا؟ 56 ألَا تُقيمُ جَمِيعُ أخَوَاتِهِ بَيْنَنَا؟ فَمِنْ أيْنَ حَصَلَ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا لَدَيهِ؟» 57 فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ عَائِقًا يَمْنَعُهُمْ مِنْ قُبُولِهِ.
أمَّا يَسُوعُ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَا يَكُونُ نَبِيٌّ بِلَا كَرَامَةٍ إلَّا فِي وَطَنِهِ وَفِي بَيْتِهِ!» 58 فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْ مُعجِزَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً هُنَاكَ، بِسَبَبِ عَدَمِ إيمَانِهِمْ.

Matthew 13
New International Version
The Parable of the Sower(A)(B)(C)
13 That same day Jesus went out of the house(D) and sat by the lake. 2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat(E) and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. 3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred,(F) sixty or thirty times what was sown. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.”(G)
10 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”
11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven(H) has been given to you,(I) but not to them. 12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.(J) 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:
“Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.(K)
14 In them is fulfilled(L) the prophecy of Isaiah:
“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 For this people’s heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’[a](M)
16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.(N) 17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see(O) but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
18 “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom(P) and does not understand it, the evil one(Q) comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.(R) 22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth(S) choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”(T)
The Parable of the Weeds
24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like(U) a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”(V)
The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast(W)(X)
31 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like(Y) a mustard seed,(Z) which a man took and planted in his field. 32 Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”(AA)
33 He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like(AB) yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds[b] of flour(AC) until it worked all through the dough.”(AD)
34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.(AE) 35 So was fulfilled(AF) what was spoken through the prophet:
“I will open my mouth in parables,
I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”[c](AG)
The Parable of the Weeds Explained
36 Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable(AH) of the weeds in the field.”
37 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.(AI) 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one,(AJ) 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest(AK) is the end of the age,(AL) and the harvesters are angels.(AM)
40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man(AN) will send out his angels,(AO) and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.(AP) 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun(AQ) in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.(AR)
The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl
44 “The kingdom of heaven is like(AS) treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.(AT)
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like(AU) a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
The Parable of the Net
47 “Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like(AV) a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds(AW) of fish. 48 When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. 49 This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous(AX) 50 and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.(AY)
51 “Have you understood all these things?” Jesus asked.
“Yes,” they replied.
52 He said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”
A Prophet Without Honor(AZ)
53 When Jesus had finished these parables,(BA) he moved on from there. 54 Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue,(BB) and they were amazed.(BC) “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked. 55 “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son?(BD) Isn’t his mother’s(BE) name Mary, and aren’t his brothers(BF) James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56 Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” 57 And they took offense(BG) at him.
But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.”(BH)
58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.

King James Version
13 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
53 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
