Matthew 13 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

And He told ^G2980 them many ^G4183 things ^G4183 in parables ^G3850, saying ^G3004, “Behold ^G2400, the sower ^G4687 went ^G1831 out ^G1831 to sow ^G4687;

And the disciples ^G3101 came ^G4334 up ^G4334 and said ^G3004 to Him, “Why ^G1223 G5101 do You speak ^G2980 to them in parables ^G3850?”

‘[fn]YOU SHALL KEEP ^G189 ON LISTENING ^G191, [fn]BUT SHALL NOT UNDERSTAND ^G4920;

AND [fn]YOU SHALL KEEP ^G991 ON LOOKING ^G991, [fn]BUT SHALL NOT PERCEIVE ^G3708;

FOR THE HEART ^G2588 OF THIS ^G3778 PEOPLE ^G2992 HAS BECOME ^G3975 DULL ^G3975,

WITH THEIR EARS ^G3775 THEY SCARCELY ^G917 HEAR ^G191,

AND THEY HAVE CLOSED ^G2576 THEIR EYES ^G3788,

OTHERWISE ^G3379 THEY MIGHT SEE ^G3708 WITH THEIR EYES ^G3788,

HEAR ^G191 WITH THEIR EARS ^G3775,

UNDERSTAND ^G4920 WITH THEIR HEART ^G2588, AND RETURN ^G1994,

AND I WOULD HEAL ^G2390 THEM.’

“But blessed ^G3107 are your eyes ^G3788, because ^G3754 they see ^G991; and your ears ^G3775, because ^G3754 they hear ^G191.

“Listen ^G191 then ^G3767 to the parable ^G3850 of the sower ^G4687.

Jesus presented ^G3908 another ^G243 parable ^G3850 to them, saying ^G3004, “The kingdom ^G932 of heaven ^G3772 [fn]is ^G3666 like ^G3666 a man ^G444 who sowed ^G4687 good ^G2570 seed ^G4690 in his field ^G68.

He presented ^G3908 another ^G243 parable ^G3850 to them, saying ^G3004, “The kingdom ^G932 of heaven ^G3772 is like ^G3664 a mustard ^G4615 seed ^G2848, which ^G3739 a person ^G444 took ^G2983 and sowed ^G4687 in his field ^G68;

He spoke ^G2980 another ^G243 parable ^G3850 to them: “The kingdom ^G932 of heaven ^G3772 is like ^G3664 [fn]leaven ^G2219, which ^G3739 a woman ^G1135 took ^G2983 and hid ^G1470 in three ^G5140 [fn]sata ^G4568 of flour ^G224 until ^G2193 it was all ^G3650 leavened ^G2220.”

All ^G3956 these ^G3778 things ^G3778 Jesus ^G2424 spoke ^G2980 to the crowds ^G3793 in parables ^G3850, and He did not speak ^G2980 anything ^G3762 to them without ^G5565 a parable ^G3850.

“I WILL OPEN ^G455 MY MOUTH ^G4750 IN PARABLES ^G3850;

I WILL PROCLAIM ^G2044 THINGS ^G2928 HIDDEN ^G2928 SINCE ^G575 THE FOUNDATION ^G2602 OF THE WORLD ^G2889.”

Then ^G5119 He left ^G863 the crowds ^G3793 and went ^G2064 into the house ^G3614. And His disciples ^G3101 came ^G4334 to Him and said ^G3004, “Explain ^G1285 to us the parable ^G3850 of the [fn]weeds ^G2215 of the field ^G68.”

“The kingdom ^G932 of heaven ^G3772 is like ^G3664 a treasure ^G2344 hidden ^G2928 in the field ^G68, which ^G3739 a man ^G444 found ^G2147 and hid ^G2928 again; and from [fn]joy ^G5479 over it he goes ^G5217 and sells ^G4453 everything ^G3745 that he has ^G2192, and buys ^G59 that field ^G68.

“Again ^G3825, the kingdom ^G932 of heaven ^G3772 is like ^G3664 a merchant ^G1713 seeking ^G2212 fine ^G2570 pearls ^G3135,

“Again ^G3825, the kingdom ^G932 of heaven ^G3772 is like ^G3664 a dragnet ^G4522 that was cast ^G906 into the sea ^G2281 and gathered ^G4863 fish of every ^G3956 kind ^G1085;

“Have you understood ^G4920 all ^G3956 these ^G3778 things ^G3778?” They *said ^G3004 to Him, “Yes ^G3483.”

When ^G3753 Jesus ^G2424 had finished ^G5055 these ^G3778 parables ^G3850, He departed ^G3332 from ^G1564 there ^G1564.
