마태복음 13
Korean Living Bible
하늘 나라의 비유
13 그 날 예수님은 집에서 나와 바닷가에 가서 앉으셨다.
2 너무 많은 군중이 모여들므로 예수님은 배에 올라 앉으시고 그들은 물가에 서 있었다.
3 그때 예수님은 여러 가지 비유를 들어 그들에게 많은 것을 말씀하셨다. “한 농부가 들에 나가
4 씨를 뿌렸다. 그런데 어떤 씨는 길가에 떨어져서 새들이 와서 먹어 버렸고
5 어떤 씨는 흙이 많지 않은 돌밭에 떨어져 흙이 깊지 않으므로 곧 싹이 나왔으나
6 해가 돋자 뿌리를 박지 못한 싹은 타서 말라 버렸다.
7 또 어떤 씨는 가시덤불에 떨어졌는데 가시나무가 자라 그 기운을 막았다.
8 그러나 어떤 씨는 좋은 땅에 떨어져 100배, 60배, 30배의 열매를 맺었다.
9 귀 있는 사람은 잘 들어라.”
10 제자들이 예수님께 와서 “저 사람들에게는 왜 비유로 말씀하십니까?” 하고 묻자
11 예수님은 이렇게 대답하셨다. “너희에게는 하늘 나라의 비밀을 아는 것이 허락되었으나 저 사람들에게는 허락되지 않았다.
12 있는 사람에게는 더 주어 넘치게 하고 없는 사람은 가진 것까지도 빼앗길 것이다.
13 저들은 보아도 알지 못하고 들어도 깨닫지 못하므로 나는 저들에게 비유로 말한다.
14 그래서 다음과 같은 이사야의 예언은 저들에게 꼭 들어맞는 말이다. [a]‘너희는 계속 들어도 깨닫지 못하고 계속 보아도 알지 못한다.
15 이 백성은 마음이 둔해졌고 귀는 먹었으며 눈까지 멀었다. 그렇지 않으면 그들이 눈으로 보고 귀로 듣고 마음으로 깨달아 돌아와서 나에게 고침을 받을지도 모른다.’
16 “그러나 너희는 눈으로 보고 귀로 들을 수 있으니 행복하다.
17 내가 분명히 말한다. 많은 예언자들과 의로운 사람들이 너희가 보는 것을 보고 싶어했으나 보지 못하였고 너희가 듣는 것을 듣고 싶어했으나 듣지 못하였다.
18 “너희는 씨 뿌리는 사람에 대한 비유의 뜻을 들어 보아라.
19 누구든지 하늘 나라의 말씀을 듣고도 깨닫지 못하면 [b]사탄이 와서 그 마음에 뿌려진 것을 빼앗아 가 버린다. 이런 사람은 길가에 떨어진 씨와 같은 사람이다.
20 그리고 돌밭에 떨어진 씨는 말씀을 들을 때 기뻐하며 즉시 받아들이지만
21 [c]그것을 마음속 깊이 간직하지 못하고 잠시 견디다가 그 말씀 때문에 고통이나 핍박이 오면 곧 넘어지는 사람이다.
22 또 가시덤불 속에 떨어진 씨는 말씀은 듣지만 이 세상 걱정과 재물에 대한 유혹 때문에 말씀대로 생활하지 못하는 사람을 말한다.
23 그러나 좋은 땅에 뿌려진 씨는 말씀을 듣고 깨닫는 사람을 가리킨다. 그런 사람은 100배, 60배, 또는 30배의 열매를 맺는다.”
24 예수님은 또 다른 비유를 들어 그들에게 말씀하셨다. “하늘 나라는 자기 밭에 좋은 씨앗을 뿌린 사람에 비할 수 있다.
25 사람들이 다 잠들었을 때 원수가 와서 밀밭에 [d]독보리를 덧뿌리고 갔다.
26 밀이 싹터서 자랄 때 독보리도 함께 자라는 것을 보고
27 종들이 주인에게 와서 ‘주인님, 밭에 좋은 씨앗을 뿌리지 않았습니까? 그런데 독보리가 어디서 생겨났습니까?’ 하고 물었다.
28 그러자 주인은 ‘원수가 이런 짓을 했구나’ 하고 대답하였다. 종들이 ‘그러면 우리가 가서 독보리를 뽑아 버릴까요?’ 하고 다시 묻자
29 주인은 이렇게 말하였다. ‘아니다. 독보리를 뽑다가 밀까지 뽑을까 걱정된다.
30 추수 때까지 둘 다 함께 자라도록 그냥 두어라. 추수 때에 내가 추수꾼들에게 먼저 독보리를 뽑아 단으로 묶어서 불태워 버리고 밀은 내 곳간에 모아들이게 하겠다.’ ”
31 예수님은 또 다른 비유로 그들에게 말씀하셨다. “하늘 나라는 어떤 사람이 자기 밭에 갖다 심은 겨자씨 한 알과 같다.
32 그것은 씨앗 중에 가장 작은 것이지만 모든 채소보다 더 크게 자라나 나무처럼 되어서 새들이 날아와 그 가지에 깃들인다.”
33 예수님은 또 다른 비유를 말씀하셨다. “하늘 나라는 어떤 여자가 [e]한 포대의 밀가루에 섞어 전부 부풀게 한 누룩과 같다.”
34 예수님은 군중에게 이 모든 것을 비유로만 말씀하시고 비유가 아니면 아무것도 말씀하지 않으셨다.
35 이것은 다음과 같은 예언자의 예언을 이루기 위해서였다. [f]“내가 비유를 들어 세상이 창조될 때부터 감추어진 것을 말하겠다.”
36 그 후 예수님이 군중과 헤어져 집에 들어가 있을 때 제자들이 와서 “밭의 독보리 비유를 자세히 설명해 주십시오” 하였다.
37 그래서 예수님은 그들에게 이렇게 대답하셨다. “좋은 씨를 뿌리는 농부는 [g]나 그리스도이며
38 밭은 세상이다. 그리고 좋은 씨앗은 하늘 나라에 속한 사람들이고 독보리는 악한 자에게 속한 사람들이다.
39 독보리를 뿌린 원수는 마귀이며 추수 때는 세상 끝날이고 추수꾼은 천사들이다.
40 그러므로 독보리를 뽑아 불에 태우듯 세상 끝날에도 그렇게 할 것이다.
41 내가 천사들을 보내겠다. 그들은 죄 짓게 하는 모든 사람과 악을 행하는 사람들을 내 나라에서 모두 추려내어
42 불구덩이에 던져 넣을 것이다. 그러면 그 사람들이 거기서 통곡하며 이를 갈 것이다.
43 그때 의로운 사람들은 아버지의 나라에서 해같이 빛날 것이다. 귀 있는 사람은 잘 들어라.
44 “하늘 나라는 밭에 숨겨진 보물과 같다. 사람이 그것을 발견하면 다시 감추어 두고 기뻐하며 돌아가 가진 것을 다 팔아서 그 밭을 샀다.
45 “또 하늘 나라는 아름다운 진주를 구하는 장사꾼과 같다.
46 그가 아주 값진 진주 하나를 발견하고 가서 가진 것을 모두 팔아 그 진주를 샀다.
47 “또 하늘 나라는 바다에 던져 여러 종류의 물고기를 모으는 그물과 같다.
48 그물에 고기가 가득 차면 물가로 끌어내어 앉아서 좋은 것은 골라 그릇에 담고 나쁜 것은 버린다.
49 세상 끝날에도 이렇게 할 것이다. 천사들이 와서 의로운 사람들 가운데서 악한 사람들을 가려내어
50 불구덩이에 던져 넣을 것이다. 그러면 그들이 거기서 통곡하며 이를 갈 것이다.”
51 말씀을 마치시고 예수님이 그들에게 “이 모든 것을 이제 알겠느냐?” 하고 물으시자 제자들은 “예, 알겠습니다” 하고 대답하였다.
52 그러자 예수님은 그들에게 “그러므로 하늘 나라의 가르침을 받은 율법학자는 마치 자기 곳간에서 새 것과 낡은 것을 꺼내는 집 주인과 같다” 라고 하셨다.
목수의 아들이 아니냐
53 예수님은 이 비유들을 다 말씀하시고 나서 그 곳을 떠나
54 고향으로 가서 회당에서 가르치셨다. 사람들이 듣고 놀라 “이 사람의 이런 지혜와 기적을 행하는 능력이 어디서 났느냐?
55 이 사람은 목수의 아들이 아니냐? 그의 어머니는 마리아이고 야고보와 요셉과 시몬과 유다는 그의 동생들이다.
56 그리고 그의 누이동생들도 모두 우리와 함께 있지 않느냐? 그렇다면 이 사람은 이 모든 것을 어디서 얻었느냐?” 하면서
57 예수님을 배척하였다. 그러나 예수님은 그들에게 “예언자는 자기 고향과 집에서만 존경을 받지 못한다” 하시고
58 그들이 믿지 않으므로 거기서는 기적을 많이 베풀지 않으셨다.
Matthew 13
English Standard Version
The Parable of the Sower
13 That same day Jesus went out of the house (A)and sat beside the sea. 2 And great crowds gathered about him, (B)so that he got into a boat and sat down. And the whole crowd stood on the beach. 3 And (C)he told them many things in parables, saying: (D)“A sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. 5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, 6 but (E)when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, (F)they withered away. 7 Other seeds fell among (G)thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. 8 Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some (H)a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 (I)He who has ears,[a] let him hear.”
The Purpose of the Parables
10 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” 11 And he answered them, (J)“To you it has been given to know (K)the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 (L)For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, (M)even what he has will be taken away. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because (N)seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, (O)nor do they understand. 14 Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:
(P)“‘“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
15 For this people's heart has grown dull,
and with their ears (Q)they can barely hear,
and (R)their eyes they have closed,
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and (S)understand with their heart
and (T)turn, and I would heal them.’
16 But (U)blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. 17 (V)For truly, I say to you, (W)many prophets and righteous people longed 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
18 (X)“Hear then the parable of the sower: 19 When anyone hears the word of (Y)the kingdom and (Z)does not understand it, (AA)the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path. 20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately (AB)receives it with joy, 21 yet he has no root in himself, but (AC)endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately (AD)he falls away.[b] 22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but (AE)the cares of (AF)the world and (AG)the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 23 As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and (AH)understands it. He indeed (AI)bears fruit and yields, in one case (AJ)a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”
The Parable of the Weeds
24 He put another parable before them, saying, (AK)“The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, 25 but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds[c] among the wheat and went away. 26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. 27 And the servants[d] of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ 29 But he said, (AL)‘No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, (AM)“Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
The Mustard Seed and the Leaven
31 He put another parable before them, saying, (AN)“The kingdom of heaven is like (AO)a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. 32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”
33 He told them another parable. (AP)“The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in (AQ)three measures of flour, till it was (AR)all leavened.”
Prophecy and Parables
34 (AS)All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed, he said nothing to them without a parable. 35 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet:[e]
(AT)“I will open my mouth in parables;
(AU)I will utter what has been hidden (AV)since the foundation of the world.”
The Parable of the Weeds Explained
36 Then he left the crowds and went into (AW)the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, (AX)“Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.” 37 He answered, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed is (AY)the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are (AZ)the sons of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. (BA)The harvest is (BB)the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40 Just as the weeds (BC)are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at (BD)the end of the age. 41 (BE)The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all (BF)causes of sin and (BG)all law-breakers, 42 (BH)and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place (BI)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then (BJ)the righteous will shine like the sun (BK)in the kingdom of their Father. (BL)He who has ears, let him hear.
The Parable of the Hidden Treasure
44 “The kingdom of heaven (BM)is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy (BN)he goes and sells all that he has and (BO)buys that field.
The Parable of the Pearl of Great Value
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 who, on finding (BP)one pearl of great value, (BQ)went and sold all that he had and (BR)bought it.
The Parable of the Net
47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is (BS)like a net that was thrown into the sea and (BT)gathered fish of every kind. 48 When it was full, (BU)men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. 49 So it will be at (BV)the end of the age. The angels will come out and (BW)separate the evil from the righteous 50 (BX)and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place (BY)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
New and Old Treasures
51 (BZ)“Have you understood all these things?” They said to him, “Yes.” 52 And he said to them, “Therefore every (CA)scribe (CB)who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who (CC)brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.”
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth
53 And when Jesus had finished these parables, he went away from there, 54 (CD)and coming to (CE)his hometown (CF)he taught them in their synagogue, so that (CG)they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works? 55 (CH)Is not this (CI)the carpenter's[f] son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not (CJ)his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56 And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” 57 And (CK)they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, (CL)“A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.” 58 And he did not do many mighty works there, (CM)because of their unbelief.

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.
