Matthew 13
English Standard Version Anglicised
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 fulfil 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 close 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 close 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 close 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 home town (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 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 offence at him. But Jesus said to them, (CL)“A prophet is not without honour except in his home town and in his own household.” 58 And he did not do many mighty works there, (CM)because of their unbelief.

Священное Писание (Восточный Перевод)
Притча о сеятеле и семенах(A)
13 В тот же день Иса, выйдя из дома, сидел у озера. 2 Вокруг Него собрались большие толпы, так что Он вынужден был сесть в лодку, а весь народ стоял на берегу. 3 И Он о многом говорил им в притчах.
– Сеятель вышел сеять, – говорил Иса. – 4 Когда он разбрасывал семена, некоторые из них упали у самой дороги. Прилетели птицы и склевали их. 5 Другие упали в каменистые места, где было мало плодородной почвы. Они быстро проросли, потому что почва была неглубокой.[a] 6 Но когда взошло солнце, оно опалило ростки, и те засохли, так как у них не было глубоких корней. 7 Другие семена попали в терновник, который разросся так, что заглушил ростки. 8 Семена же, которые упали на хорошую почву, принесли урожай, одни во сто, другие в шестьдесят, третьи в тридцать раз больше того, что было посеяно. 9 У кого есть уши, пусть слышит!
Объяснение притчи о сеятеле и семенах(B)
10 Тогда ученики подошли и спросили Ису:
– Почему Ты говоришь с людьми притчами?
11 Иса ответил:
– Вам дано знать тайны Царства Всевышнего, а им не дано. 12 Потому что у кого есть, тому будет дано ещё, и у него будет в изобилии; а у кого нет, будет отнято и то, что он имеет. 13 Я говорю им притчами, потому что они, смотря, не видят, слушая, не слышат и не понимают. 14 В них исполняется пророчество Исаии:
«Вы будете слушать, но не поймёте,
будете смотреть, но не увидите.
15 Сердце этого народа огрубело,
ушами с трудом слышат,
и глаза свои они закрыли,
чтобы не увидеть глазами,
не услышать ушами,
не понять сердцем
и не обратиться, чтобы Я исцелил их»[b].
16 А ваши глаза благословенны, потому что они видят, и ваши уши – потому что они слышат. 17 Говорю вам истину: много пророков и праведников жаждали увидеть то, что вы видите, но не увидели, желали услышать то, что вы слышите, но не услышали.
18 Так послушайте, что значит притча о сеятеле. 19 К каждому, кто слышит весть о Царстве и не понимает её, приходит дьявол и крадёт то, что было посеяно в сердце. Это – семя, упавшее у дороги. 20 Семя, упавшее на каменистую почву, – это о человеке, который слышит слово и сразу же с радостью принимает его, 21 но у него нет корня, и поэтому его хватает лишь на короткое время, и когда наступают трудности и гонения за слово, он сразу же отступается. 22 Семя, посеянное среди терновника, – это о человеке, который слышит слово, но повседневные заботы и соблазны богатства заглушают слово, и семя остаётся бесплодным. 23 Семя же, посеянное в хорошую почву, – это о человеке, который слышит слово и понимает его. Такой человек приносит плод, кто во сто, кто в шестьдесят, кто в тридцать раз больше посеянного.
Притча о пшенице и сорняках
24 Рассказал им Иса и другую притчу:
– Царство Всевышнего можно сравнить с человеком, засеявшим своё поле хорошими семенами. 25 И вот, когда все спали, пришёл его враг, посеял среди пшеницы сорняки и ушёл. 26 Когда пшеница взошла и появились колосья, то стали заметны и сорняки. 27 Рабы пришли к хозяину и говорят: «Господин, ты же сеял на поле хорошие семена, откуда же появились сорняки?» 28 «Это сделал враг», – ответил хозяин. Тогда рабы спрашивают: «Может нам пойти и выполоть их?» 29 «Нет, – ответил хозяин, – когда вы будете вырывать сорняки, вы можете нечаянно выдернуть и пшеницу. 30 Пусть и то, и другое растёт до жатвы. А во время жатвы я велю жнецам собрать вначале сорняки, связать их в пучки и сжечь, а затем собрать пшеницу в моё хранилище».
Притча о горчичном зерне(C)
31 Рассказал Он им и ещё одну притчу:
– Царство Всевышнего можно сравнить с горчичным зерном, которое человек взял и посеял в поле. 32 Хотя горчичное зерно и самое маленькое из всех семян, но когда оно вырастает, то становится больше огородных растений и превращается в настоящее дерево, так что даже птицы небесные прилетают и вьют гнёзда в его ветвях.[c]
Притча о закваске(D)
33 И ещё одну притчу рассказал им Иса:
– Царство Всевышнего как закваска, которую женщина смешала с большим количеством[d] муки, чтобы вскисло всё тесто.
34 Всё это Иса говорил народу в притчах и ничего не объяснял без притч, 35 чтобы исполнилось сказанное через пророка:
«Я буду говорить притчами,
расскажу то, что было скрыто от создания мира»[e].
Объяснение притчи о пшенице и сорняках
36 Потом Иса отпустил народ и вошёл в дом. Его ученики подошли к Нему и попросили:
– Объясни нам притчу о сорняках в поле.
37 Иса в ответ сказал:
– Сеющий хорошие семена – это Ниспосланный как Человек. 38 Поле – это мир, а хорошие семена – это те, кто принадлежит Царству. Сорняки – это те, кто принадлежит дьяволу. 39 Враг, посеявший их, – это дьявол. Жатва – это конец мира, и жнецы – это ангелы. 40 Как сорняки вырывают и сжигают в огне, так будет и в конце мира. 41 Ниспосланный как Человек пошлёт Своих ангелов, и они удалят из Его Царства всё, что ведёт ко греху, и всех, делающих злое. 42 Их бросят в огненную печь, где будет плач и скрежет зубов. 43 А праведники тогда будут сиять, как солнце, в Царстве их Отца. У кого есть уши, пусть слышит!
Притча о спрятанном сокровище
44 – Царство Всевышнего можно сравнить со спрятанным в поле кладом. Когда человек находит тот клад, он прячет его и, радостный, идёт и продаёт всё, что имеет, для того, чтобы купить это поле.
Притча о драгоценной жемчужине
45 – Ещё Царство Всевышнего подобно купцу, который ищет прекрасный жемчуг. 46 Найдя драгоценную жемчужину, он продаёт всё, что имеет, ради того, чтобы купить её одну.
Притча о рыболовной сети
47 – Ещё Царство Всевышнего подобно сети, опущенной в озеро, в которую попало много разной рыбы. 48 Когда сеть наполнилась, рыбаки вытащили её на берег. Потом они сели и отобрали хорошую рыбу в корзины, а плохую выбросили. 49 Так будет и в конце мира. Придут ангелы, заберут злых из среды праведных 50 и бросят их в пылающую печь, где будет плач и скрежет зубов.
51 – Вы поняли всё это? – спросил Иса.
– Да, – ответили ученики.
52 Тогда Иса сказал им:
– Так вот, каждый учитель Таурата, усвоивший весть о Царстве Всевышнего, похож на хозяина дома, который выносит из своих кладовых и новое, и старое.
Отвержение Исы Масиха в Его родном городе(E)
53 Когда Иса закончил рассказывать эти притчи, Он ушёл оттуда 54 и, придя в Свой родной город, начал учить людей в молитвенном доме иудеев, так что они удивлялись:
– Откуда у Этого Человека такая мудрость и такая сила? 55 Разве Он не сын плотника? Не Марьям ли зовут Его мать, и разве Он не брат Якуба, Иосии[f], Шимона и Иуды? 56 Разве не среди нас живут все Его сёстры? Откуда же у Него всё это? – 57 И они отвергли Его.
Иса же сказал им:
– Пророка уважают везде, только не на его родине и не в его доме.
58 И Он не совершил там многих чудес из-за неверия этих людей.
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.
