\subsubsection{Parable of the Sower}
|
|
\VS{1} And again he began to be teaching by the sea. And [an] exceedingly great crowd
|
|
was gathered to him, so that having embarked he was sitting in [a] boat in the
|
|
sea, and the crowd was on the land facing the sea.
|
|
\VS{2} And he was
|
|
teaching them many [things] in parables, and he was saying to them in his teaching:
|
|
\VS{3} Be listening: Behold the [one] sowing came out to sow.
|
|
\VS{4} And it came
|
|
to pass while sowing some fell beside the road, and the birds came and
|
|
devoured it.
|
|
\VS{5} And other [seed] fell upon the rocky [places], where it was not having
|
|
much soil\fnGe{}, and immediately it sprang up because it was not having depth of
|
|
earth\fnGe{}.
|
|
\VS{6} And when the sun rose it was burned up, and because it was not
|
|
having root it was withered.
|
|
\VS{7} And other [seed] fell into thorns, and the
|
|
thorns came up and choked it, and it gave no fruit.
|
|
\VS{8} And others fell
|
|
into the good soil\fnGe{} and coming up and growing it was giving fruit and it was
|
|
bearing to thirty[fold] and within sixty and within hundred[fold].
|
|
\VS{9} And he was saying: He who has ears to be hearing, let him be
|
|
hearing\fnImperative{}.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Purpose of Parables}
|
|
\VS{10} And when he came to be alone, those around him with the twelve were
|
|
asking him with regard to the parables.
|
|
\VS{11} And he was saying to them:
|
|
To you the mystery of the kingdom of God has been given, to those outside
|
|
all things come\footnote{or ``are given'' } in parables,
|
|
\VS{12} in order that\footnote{Isa.6:9-10}
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Looking they look and may not see \\
|
|
And hearing they hear and may not understand \\
|
|
Lest ever they turn around and he forgive them.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{13} And he says to them: You do not know this parable, how also will you
|
|
know all the parables?
|
|
\VS{14} The sower sows the word.
|
|
\VS{15} But these
|
|
are those beside the road, how the word is sown, and when they hear,
|
|
immediately Satan comes and takes the word having been sown in them.
|
|
\VS{16} And these being sown upon the rocky [places] are likewise, which when they hear the
|
|
word, immediately they receive it with joy.
|
|
\VS{17} And they have no root in
|
|
themselves, but are temporary, then [when] tribulation or persecution comes
|
|
because of the word, they stumble.
|
|
\VS{18} And these are those being sown
|
|
into the thorns, these are those having heard the word,
|
|
\VS{19} and [when] the
|
|
cares of the age and the deceitfulness of wealth and the lusts [about] the rest
|
|
enter, they choke the word, and it becomes fruitless.
|
|
\VS{20} And these are
|
|
those having been sown upon the good soil\fnGe{}, which hear the word and receive
|
|
[it] and bear fruit in thirty and in sixty and in a hundred.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Parable of the Lamp}
|
|
\VS{21} And he says
|
|
to them that: Does [a] lamp come in order that it be placed under the bushel or
|
|
under the bed? Is it not in order that it be placed upon the lampstand?
|
|
\VS{22} For is anything hidden if not in order that it be revealed?
|
|
\VS{23} If anyone has ears to be hearing, let him be hearing\fnImperative{}.
|
|
\VS{24} And he says to them: Be watching what you are hearing. With what
|
|
measure you measure it shall be measured to you, and shall be put to you.
|
|
\VS{25} For whoever has, it shall be given to him, and whoever does not
|
|
have, even what he has shall be taken away.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Parable of the Growing Seed}
|
|
\VS{26} And he was saying: The
|
|
kingdom of God is thus, as [a] man throws the seed upon the earth\fnGe{}
|
|
\VS{27} and
|
|
he sleeps and gets up night and day, the seed sprouts and grows when he did
|
|
not know it.
|
|
\VS{28} By itself the land bears fruit, first grass, then [an]
|
|
ear, then full grain on the ear.
|
|
\VS{29} When the fruit permits, immediately
|
|
he sends the sickle because the harvest has come.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Parable of the Mustard Seed}
|
|
\VS{30} And he was saying:
|
|
How shall I liken the kingdom of God? or by means of what shall I set it
|
|
forth in [a] parable?
|
|
\VS{31} As with [a] grain of mustard, which when sown upon
|
|
the ground, being smaller than all the seeds upon the ground,
|
|
\VS{32} and when
|
|
sown, it comes up and becomes [the] greater of all the herbs, and it produces
|
|
great branches, so that the birds of heaven are able to be dwelling under
|
|
its shadow.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Use of Parables}
|
|
\VS{33} And he was speaking to them the word with many such
|
|
parables, just as they were able to be hearing,
|
|
\VS{34} but without parables
|
|
he was not speaking to them, but privately he was explaining everything to
|
|
his own disciples.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Stilling of a Storm}
|
|
\VS{35} And he says to them in that day, evening having
|
|
come: Go through to the other side.
|
|
\VS{36} And the crowd having departed
|
|
they took him with them as he was in the boat, and another boat was with
|
|
him.
|
|
\VS{37} And there comes [a] great hurricane of wind, and the waves were
|
|
casting into the boat, so that already the boat was being filled.
|
|
\VS{38}
|
|
And he himself was in the stern upon the cushion sleeping. And they rouse
|
|
him and say to him: Teacher, is it of no concern to you that we are
|
|
perishing?
|
|
\VS{39} And having been awakened he rebuked the wind and said to
|
|
the sea: Be still, be silent. And the wind ceased, and there came [a] great
|
|
calm.
|
|
\VS{40} And he said to them: Are you such cowards in this manner? How
|
|
do you have no faith?
|
|
\VS{41} And they were afraid with [a] great fear, and
|
|
were saying to one another: What then is this [one], that even the wind and the
|
|
sea obey him?
|
