马太福音 13
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
撒种的比喻(A)
13 那一天，耶稣从房子里出来，坐在海边。 2 有很多人聚集到他那里。于是，他上船坐下来，众人都站在岸上。 3 他用比喻对众人讲了许多事，说：“有一个撒种的出去撒种。 4 撒的时候，有的落在路旁，小鸟飞来就吃掉了。 5 有的落在泥土不多的石地上，因为泥土不深，很快就长起来。 6 但太阳一出来，就把它晒干，又因为没有根就枯萎了。 7 有的落在荆棘里，荆棘长大了，就把它挤住。 8 有的落在好土里，结出果实，有一百倍的，有六十倍的，有三十倍的。 9 有耳的，就应当听。”
用比喻的目的(B)
10 门徒上前问耶稣：“你对他们讲话，为甚么用比喻呢？” 11 他回答：“天国的奥秘，只给你们知道，却不给他们知道。 12 因为凡是有的，还要给他，他就充足有余；凡是没有的，就连他有甚么也要拿去。 13 因此，我用比喻对他们讲话，因为他们看却看不见，听也听不到，也不明白。 14 以赛亚的预言，正应验在他们身上，他说：
‘你们听是听见了，总是不明白；
看是看见了，总是不领悟。
15 因为这人民的心思迟钝，
用不灵的耳朵去听，
又闭上了眼睛；
免得自己眼睛看见，耳朵听见，
心里明白，回转过来，
我就医好他们。’
16 “你们的眼睛是有福的，因为可以看见；你们的耳朵是有福的，因为可以听见。 17 我实在告诉你们，曾经有许多先知和义人想看你们所看见的，却没有看到，想听你们所听见的，却没有听到。
解释撒种的比喻(C)
18 “所以你们要听这撒种人的比喻。 19 凡是听了天国的道却不明白的，那恶者就来把撒在他心中的夺去。这就是撒在路旁的。 20 那撒在石地上的，就是人听了道，立刻欢欢喜喜地接受， 21 可是他里面没有根，只是暂时的；一旦为道遭遇患难，受到迫害，就立刻跌倒了。 22 那撒在荆棘里的，就是人听了道，有今世的忧虑和财富的迷惑把道挤住，结不出果实来。 23 那撒在好土里的，就是人听了道，又明白了，结出果实来，有一百倍的，有六十倍的，有三十倍的。”
稗子的比喻
24 耶稣对他们另外讲了一个比喻，说：“天国好象人把好的种子撒在田里。 25 人们睡了的时候，他的仇敌来把稗子撒在麦子中间，就走了。 26 到了发苗吐穗的时候，稗子也显出来。 27 仆人都前来问家主：‘主人，你不是把好的种子撒在田里吗？那些稗子是从哪里来的呢？’ 28 他回答：‘这是仇敌所作的。’仆人问他：‘你要我们去拔掉它吗？’ 29 他说：‘不用，因为拔稗子的时候，恐怕也把麦子连根拔出来。 30 收割之前，让它们一同生长。到了收割的时候，我会吩咐收割的工人先拔掉稗子，捆起来，留着焚烧，却要把麦子收进我的仓里。’”
芥菜种和面酵的比喻(D)
31 耶稣又对他们讲了另外一个比喻，说：“天国好象一粒芥菜种，人拿去把它种在田里。 32 它是种子中最小的，但长大了，却比其他的蔬菜都大，成为一棵树，甚至天空的飞鸟也来在它的枝头搭窝。”
33 他对他们讲了另一个比喻：“天国好象面酵，妇女拿去放在三斗面里，直到全团发起来。”
解释稗子的比喻
34 耶稣用比喻向群众讲了这一切，他所讲的，没有不用比喻的。 35 这就应验了先知所说的：
“我要开口用比喻，
把创世以来隐秘的事说出来。”
36 耶稣离开群众，进到屋里，门徒前来问他：“请你给我们解释田里稗子的比喻。” 37 他回答：“那撒好种子的是人子， 38 田就是世界，好种子就是属天国的人，稗子就是属那恶者的人， 39 撒稗子的仇敌是魔鬼，收割的时候是这世代的终结，收割的工人是天使。 40 稗子怎样被拔掉用火焚烧，在这世代终结的时候，也是一样。 41 那时，人子要差派他的使者，把一切使人犯罪的事和不法之徒，从他的国中拔掉， 42 丢进火炉，在那里必要哀哭切齿。 43 那时，义人在他们父的国中，要像太阳一样的照耀。有耳的，就应当听。
其他的比喻
44 “天国好象藏在田里的宝贝，有人发现了，就把它藏起来，高高兴兴地离去，变卖了他的一切，来买那田地。
45 “天国好象一个商人，搜罗宝贵的珍珠。 46 他发现了一颗极贵重的珍珠，就离去，变卖了他的一切，来买那颗珍珠。
47 “天国又好象一个网，撒在海里，网到各样的鱼。 48 网满了之后，人就把网拉上岸，坐下来把好的拣出，收藏起来，不好的就丢在外面。 49 这世代终结的时候，也是一样。那时天使要出去，把恶人从义人中分别出来。 50 丢进火炉，在那里必要哀哭切齿。
51 “这一切你们明白吗？”他们回答：“明白。” 52 耶稣说：“所以，每一个作天国门徒的经学家，就像家主从宝库中拿出新和旧的东西来。”
耶稣在本乡遭人厌弃(E)
53 耶稣讲完了这些比喻，就离开那地方。 54 他回到自己的家乡，在会堂里教导人，众人都惊奇，说：“这个人的智慧和能力是从哪里来的呢？ 55 他不是木匠的儿子吗？他母亲不是马利亚，他弟弟不是雅各、约瑟、西门和犹大吗？ 56 他妹妹不是都在我们这里吗？他这一切是从哪里来的呢？” 57 他们就厌弃耶稣。耶稣对他们说：“先知除了在本乡本家之外，没有不受人尊敬的。” 58 因为他们不信，他就不在那里多行神迹了。

Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
播种的寓言
13 同一天，耶稣走出屋子，坐在湖边。 2 很多人聚集在他周围，他只好到一条小船上坐下来，人群还留在岸上。 3 他用寓言教给人们许多道理。他说∶“有个农夫去种地。 4 播种的时候，有些种子落在路边，被飞来的鸟儿吃掉了； 5 另外一些种子落在浅土的石地上，因为土浅，种子很快就发芽了， 6 但是扎不下根，太阳出来一晒，他们就枯萎了；有些种子落在荆棘丛中， 7 被长起来的荆棘埋没和窒息了； 8 还有些种子落在肥沃的土壤里，结出的子粒比种下的种子多三十倍、六十倍甚至上百倍， 9 凡能听见我说话的人，听着。”
耶稣为什么用寓言传教
10 门徒们来问耶稣∶“您为什么用这些寓言来教导人们？”
11 耶稣回答说∶“关于天国的奥秘只让你们知道，而不会让他们知道。 12 已经拥有的人会得到更多，甚至比他需要的还多。几乎一无所有的人，连他仅有的那一点东西也要被拿走。 13 这就是为什么我用寓言故事教导他们。因为这些人看了，但并没有真正地看见；他们听了，但没有真正地理解。 14 这正应验了以赛亚的预言：
‘你们会听，并听见，
却什么也听不懂，
你们会看，并看见
却理解不了你们所看到的。
15 是的，这些人的头脑已经变得迟钝，
这些人堵住了自己的耳朵，
闭上了自己的眼睛。
因此他们用眼看不见，
用耳听不到，
或用心不能理解，
这一切使他们无法转向我，
无法让我治愈他们。’ (A)
16 但是，你们有眼福，因为你们看得见；你们有耳福，因为你们听得见。 17 我实话告诉你们：许多先知和好人都想看而看不见你们所看见的一切；他们想听却听不到你们所听到的一切。
解释种子的寓言
18 “所以， 听着，这是农夫播种的故事的含义。 19 当一个人听到了天国的福音却不能理解它的时候，魔鬼就来把播在他心中的福音夺走了，这就是落在路边上的种子的含义。 20 落在石头地上的种子，指的是这种人， 他听到福音便立刻欣然接受， 21 但是福音没有在他心中扎根，只不过是暂时的。一旦福音给他招来麻烦或迫害，他立刻就放弃了。 22 落在荆棘丛中的种子是指这种人， 他虽然听到了福音，但是却让尘世的烦恼和金钱的诱惑窒息了福音，结不出果实。 23 落在肥沃土壤里的种子指的是这种人，他听到了福音，心领神会，并且结出硕果 [a]—有时增加三十倍、或六十倍，甚至一百倍的果实。”
麦子和野草的寓言
24 耶稣又给他们讲了一个故事来教导他们∶“天国就像一个在自己的田里播下了良种的人。 25 但是，夜里，人们都在睡觉的时候，他的仇人来了，把野草的种子撒在麦地里，然后溜走了。 26 小麦生长，吐穗，野草也长出来了。 27 他的奴仆们来了，对这个人说∶‘先生，您播种的是好种子，对吧？怎么会长出野草呢？’
28 “他告诉奴仆们∶‘这是敌人干的。’
“他的奴仆们又问∶‘您要不要我们把野草除掉？’
29 “他说∶‘不用了。免得你们除草时，把麦子也一齐除掉。 30 让它们一齐长吧，等到收割的时候，我会告诉收庄稼的人说∶‘把杂草先割了，捆起来烧掉，然后把麦子收进粮仓。’”
上帝的天国像什么？
31 耶稣又给他们讲了一个故事∶“天国就像一粒芥茉籽，有人拿去把它种在地里， 32 它是所有种子里最小的一粒，可是当它长起来后，成了园子里最大的一棵植物，大的连天上的鸟儿也能在它的枝叉间筑巢。”
33 耶稣还给他们讲了另一个故事∶“天国就像一块酵母菌子，一个女人把它和在一大团面里做面包，它使整个面团发了起来。”
34 耶稣用寓言故事对众人讲述每件事情，他总是用寓言来讲道。 35 这正应验了上帝借先知之口所说的预言，上帝说：
“我（上帝）要用寓言说话，
我要讲出所有创世以来的秘密。” (B)
耶稣解释一个难懂的寓言
36 耶稣离开众人，回到家里。门徒们来到他那里，对他说∶“请您给我们解释一下田里杂草的故事。”
37 耶稣回答他们说∶“播种良种的人就是人子， 38 田地就是世界，好种子就是天国里上帝所有的孩子，野草就是属于魔鬼的人， 39 种杂草的人就是魔鬼，收获季节就是世界末日，收庄稼的人就是上帝的天使。
40 收庄稼的人把杂草捆起来烧掉，当世界末日 [b]来临时，同样的事情将会发生。 41 人子会派来他的天使，把所有做恶的和教唆人犯罪的人从他的王国里挑出来， 42 把他们扔进熊熊燃烧的熔炉里。他们会在那里切齿痛哭， 43 而好人在其父的天国里像太阳一样发出光芒。凡能听到我说话的人，听着。
宝藏和珍珠
44 “天国像埋在田地里的一座宝藏，一天，有人发现了它，又把它重新埋了起来。他高兴得把自己所有的东西都卖了，买下这块地。
45 “天国就像寻找珍珠的商人， 46 当他发现一颗价值连城的珍珠，他就卖掉自己所有的一切，把珍珠买下来。
鱼网的故事
47 “天国也像撒在湖里的一张网，捕获了各种各样的鱼。 48 等网满了，渔夫就把网拉上岸来，然后坐下来，选出好鱼，放进筐里，把坏鱼扔掉。 49 世界末日也是如此，天使会来把好人和坏人分开， 50 把坏人扔进熊熊燃烧的熔炉，让他们在烈火中切齿痛哭。”
51 耶稣接着问信徒∶“你们明白这些事情吗？”
他们回答说∶“明白。”
52 耶稣说∶“所有了解天国的律法师们，都如同一家之主，他们从自己的库房里拿出新东西，也拿出旧东西。”
耶稣返回故乡
53 耶稣讲完这些故事，就离开了那里， 54 回到自己的家乡，在会堂里教导人们。人们都很惊讶，不由自主地问道∶“他从哪里获得了如此的智慧和行奇迹的力量？ 55 他不就是木匠的儿子吗？他母亲不是叫马利亚吗？他兄弟不是叫雅各、约瑟、西门和犹大吗？ 56 他的姐妹们不是和我们一起住在这里吗？他怎么能够做出这些事呢？” 57 他们都难以接受他。
但是，耶稣对他们说∶“先知无论在哪里都受到尊敬，唯独在他自己的故乡或家里得不到尊敬。”
58 因为人们都不相信耶稣，他就没有在故乡显示很多奇迹。

Matthew 13
New King James Version
The Parable of the Sower(A)
13 On the same day Jesus went out of the house (B)and sat by the sea. 2 (C)And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that (D)He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: (E)“Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. 5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. 6 But 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 sprang up and choked them. 8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some (F)a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 (G)He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
The Purpose of Parables(H)
10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
11 He answered and said to them, “Because (I)it has been given to you to know the [a]mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 (J)For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
(K)‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not (L)perceive;
15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears (M)are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have (N)closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I [b]should (O)heal them.’
16 But (P)blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you (Q)that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
The Parable of the Sower Explained(R)
18 (S)“Therefore hear the parable of the sower: 19 When anyone hears the word (T)of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. 20 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately (U)receives it with joy; 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when (V)tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately (W)he stumbles. 22 Now (X)he who received seed (Y)among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears (Z)fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”
The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares
24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who 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 grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but (AA)gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”
The Parable of the Mustard Seed(AB)
31 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: (AC)“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, 32 which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a (AD)tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
The Parable of the Leaven(AE)
33 (AF)Another parable He spoke to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three [c]measures of meal till (AG)it was all leavened.”
Prophecy and the Parables
34 (AH)All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them, 35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
(AI)“I will open My mouth in parables;
(AJ)I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world.”
The Parable of the Tares Explained
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”
37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 (AK)The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are (AL)the sons of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, (AM)the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. 40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, (AN)and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 (AO)and will cast them into the furnace of fire. (AP)There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 (AQ)Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. (AR)He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
The Parable of the Hidden Treasure
44 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and (AS)sells all that he has and (AT)buys that field.
The Parable of the Pearl of Great Price
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, 46 who, when he had found (AU)one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
The Parable of the Dragnet
47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and (AV)gathered some of every kind, 48 which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away. 49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, (AW)separate the wicked from among the just, 50 and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
51 [d]Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?”
They said to Him, “Yes, [e]Lord.”
52 Then He said to them, “Therefore every [f]scribe instructed [g]concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure (AX)things new and old.”
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth(AY)
53 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, that He departed from there. 54 (AZ)When He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works? 55 (BA)Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And (BB)His brothers (BC)James, [h]Joses, Simon, and Judas? 56 And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?” 57 So they (BD)were offended at Him.
But Jesus said to them, (BE)“A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.” 58 Now (BF)He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
