2 Great crowds gathered around Him so that He went and sat down in a boat [just off shore], while the crowd stood on the beach.
2 And (a)large crowds gathered to Him, so (C)He got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd was standing on the beach.
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.
2 Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while the whole crowd stood on the shore.(B)
2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, while the entire crowd stood on the shore.
3 And He spoke many things to them in parables [i.e., brief stories to illustrate His teaching], saying, "Once a farmer went out [to his field] to plant grain.
3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
3 Then he began to tell them many things in parables. He said, "Listen! A farmer went out to sow.
4 And some of the seed he sowed [i.e., scattering it by hand] landed along the side of the road and birds came and ate it.
4 and as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up.
4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
4 As he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate them up.
4 As he was sowing, some seeds fell along the path, and birds came and ate them up.
5 And other seed fell on rocky ground where there was not much soil and immediately it sprouted up because the soil was so shallow.
5 Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil.
5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
5 Others fell on rocky ground, where there wasn’t much soil, and they sprang up quickly since the soil wasn’t deep.
5 Other seeds fell on stony ground, where they did not have a lot of soil. They sprouted at once because the soil wasn't deep.
6 But when the sun came up these tender sprouts were scorched and, since they had such tiny roots, they [quickly] withered away.
6 But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
6 But when the sun came up they were scorched, and since they had no root, they withered.
6 But when the sun came up, they were scorched. Since they did not have any roots, they dried up.
7 And other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and [eventually] choked out the tender sprouts.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
7 Others fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them.
7 Other seeds fell among thorn bushes, and the thorn bushes grew higher and choked them out.
8 And [still] other seed fell onto fertile soil, where some of it produced a crop of one hundred, some sixty and some thirty times [as much as was planted].
8 And others fell on the good soil and *yielded a crop, some a (E)hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.
8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
8 Still others fell on good ground and produced a crop: some 100, some 60, and some 30 times what was sown.(D)
8 But other seeds fell on good soil and produced a crop, some 100, some 60, and some 30 times what was sown.
10 Jesus' disciples came and said to Him, "Why are you speaking to them [i.e., the large crowds] by using parables?"
10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
10 Then the disciples came and asked Jesus, "Why do you speak to people in parables?"
11 He replied, "You disciples are being given an understanding of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but the crowds of people are not.
11 (d)Jesus answered them, “(G)To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.
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.
11 He answered them, “Because the secrets of the kingdom of heaven have been given for you to know,(H) but it has not been given to them.
11 He answered them, "You have been given knowledge about the secrets of the kingdom from heaven, but it hasn't been given to them,
12 For to the person who [already] has something, [more] will be given, so he will have a larger amount [i.e., of understanding], but from the person who has [almost] nothing, even [the little] he has will be taken away from him.
12 (H)For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.
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.
12 For whoever has, more will be given to him, and he will have more than enough. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.(I)
12 because to anyone who has something, more will be given, and he will have more than enough. But from the one who doesn't have anything, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Therefore, I am speaking to them with parables because [although] they can see, they [really] do not perceive, and [although] they can hear, they [really] do not comprehend, and so they [utterly] fail to understand [what I am trying to get across].
13 Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while (I)seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
13 For this reason I speak to them in parables, because looking they do not see,(J) and hearing they do not listen or understand.(K)
13 That's why I speak to them in parables, because "they look but don't see, and they listen but don't hear or understand.'
14 So, the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled by them, which says, [Isa. 6:9f] 'You will hear all right, but you will not understand [what you hear]. You will see all right but you will not perceive [what you see].
14 (e)In their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says,‘(f)(J)You will keep on hearing, (g)but will not understand;(h)You will keep on seeing, but will not perceive;
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:
14 Isaiah’s prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says:You will listen and listen,yet never understand;and you will look and look,yet never perceive.(L)
14 "With them the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says: "You will listen and listen but never understand. You will look and look but never comprehend,
15 For these people's minds are dull, and their ears have difficulty hearing, and they have shut their eyes. For if this were not the case, they would perceive what they see with their eyes, and comprehend what they hear with their ears, and understand with their minds and would turn [back to God] again so I would heal them [from their sins].'
15 (K)For the heart of this people has become dull,With their ears they scarcely hear,And they have closed their eyes,Otherwise they would see with their eyes,Hear with their ears,And understand with their heart and return,And I would heal them.’
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.
15 For this people’s heart has grown callous;their ears are hard of hearing,and they have shut their eyes;otherwise they might see with their eyesand hear with their ears,understand with their heartsand turn back—and I would cure them.(M)(b)
15 for this people's heart has become dull, and their ears are hard of hearing. They have shut their eyes so that they might not see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.'
17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people have desired to see the things you are seeing, but did not get to. They desired to hear the things you are hearing, but did not get to.
17 For truly I say to you that (M)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.
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.
17 For I assure you: Many prophets and righteous people longed to see the things you see yet didn’t see them; to hear the things you hear yet didn’t hear them.(P)
17 I tell all of you with certainty, many prophets and righteous people longed to see the things you see but did not see them, and to hear the things you hear but did not hear them."
19 When anyone hears the message of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one [i.e., the devil] comes to him and grabs away what had been sown in his heart. This is the person who was scattered to the side of the road.
19 When anyone hears (O)the (i)word of the kingdom and does not understand it, (P)the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road.
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.
19 When anyone hears the word(c) about the kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the one sown along the path.(R)
19 When anyone hears the word about the kingdom yet doesn't understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path.
20 And the person who was sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the message and immediately welcomes it joyfully,
20 The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
20 And the one sown on rocky ground—this is one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.(S)
20 As for what was sown on the stony ground, this is the person who hears the word and accepts it joyfully at once,
21 but since he has such a shallow root, he lasts for [only] a short while. Then when trouble or persecution comes because of the message, immediately he falls away [from God].
21 yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the (j)word, immediately he (k)(Q)falls away.
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.
21 Yet he has no root in himself, but is short-lived. When pressure or persecution(T) comes because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
21 but since he doesn't have any root in himself, he lasts for only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes along because of the word, he immediately falls away.
22 And the person who was sown among the thorns is the one who hears the message, but the anxieties of the world [i.e., of life] and the deceptiveness of [material] riches choke the message and he becomes unproductive.
22 And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of (R)the (l)world and the (S)deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
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.
22 Now the one sown among the thorns—this is one who hears the word, but the worries of this age(U) and the seduction(d) of wealth(V) choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
22 As for what was sown among the thorn bushes, this is the person who hears the word, but the worries of life and the deceitful pleasures of wealth choke the word so that it can't produce a crop.
23 But the person who was sown on the fertile soil is the one who hears the message and understands it. Truly, he produces a crop that yields one hundred, sixty or thirty times [as much as was planted]."
23 And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit and brings forth, some (T)a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.”
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.
23 But the one sown on the good ground—this is one who hears and understands the word, who does bear fruit and yields: some 100, some 60, some 30 times what was sown.”
23 But as for what was sown on good soil, this is the person who hears the word, understands it, and produces a crop that yields 100, 60, or 30 times what was sown."
24 [Then] Jesus told them another parable, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is similar to a person who sowed seed in his field,
24 Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “(U)The kingdom of heaven (m)may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.
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:
24 He presented another parable to them: “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.(W)
24 He presented another parable to them: "The kingdom from heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 but while his workers were asleep his enemy came and scattered weed seeds throughout his wheat field and then left.
25 But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed (n)tares among the wheat, and went away.
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
25 While people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.
26 But when the [green] shoots sprouted up and produced grain, weeds appeared also.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
26 When the plants sprouted and produced grain, then the weeds also appeared.
26 When the crop came up and bore grain, the weeds appeared, too.
27 The farmer's hired hands came and asked him, 'Did you not plant [only] good seed in your field? Where did the weeds come from [then]?'
27 The slaves of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? (p)How then does it have tares?’
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?
27 The landowner’s slaves(X) came to him and said, ‘Master, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Then where did the weeds come from?’
27 "The owner's servants came and asked him, "Master, you sowed good seed in your field, didn't you? Then where did these weeds come from?'
28 And he said to them, 'An enemy [of mine] has done this [to me].' The hired hands replied, 'Do you want us then to go and gather up the weeds?'
28 And he said to them, ‘An (q)enemy has done this!’ The slaves *said to him, ‘Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?’
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?
28 “‘An enemy did this!’ he told them.“‘So, do you want us to go and gather them up?’ the slaves asked him.
28 "He told them, "An enemy did this!' "The servants asked him, "Do you want us to go and pull them out?'
29 But the farmer said, 'No, for while you are gathering up the weeds, you might root up [some of] the wheat with them.
29 But he *said, ‘No; for while you are gathering up the tares, you may uproot the wheat with them.
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
29 “‘No,’ he said. ‘When you gather up the weeds, you might also uproot the wheat with them.
29 "He said, "No! If you pull out the weeds, you might pull out the wheat with them.
30 Let both of them grow together until it is time for the harvest; then at that time, I will tell the harvesters, "Gather up the weeds first, and bind them up into bundles to burn. But gather the wheat into my barn."'"
30 Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but (V)gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
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.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At harvest time I’ll tell the reapers: Gather the weeds first and tie them in bundles to burn them, but store the wheat in my barn.’”
30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, "Gather the weeds first and tie them in bundles for burning, but bring the wheat into my barn."'"
31 Jesus told them another parable, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is similar to a seed from the mustard tree which a man took and planted in his field.
31 He presented another parable to them, saying, “(W)The kingdom of heaven is like (X)a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;
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:
31 He(Y) presented another parable to them: “The kingdom of heaven(Z) is like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.
31 He presented another parable to them, saying, "The kingdom from heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.
32 This seed is indeed [one of] the smallest of all seeds, but when it is [fully] grown, it is larger than [other] plants, and [even] becomes a tree, so that the birds of the sky come and roost on its branches."
32 and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that (Y)the birds of the (r)air come and nest in its branches.”
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.
32 It’s the smallest of all the seeds, but when grown, it’s taller than the vegetables and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the sky come and nest in its branches.”(AA)
32 Although it is the smallest of all seeds, when it is fully grown it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, and the birds in the sky come and nest in its branches."
33 Then He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is similar to yeast, which a woman worked into a batch of dough [i.e., the amount was over half a bushel], until [the dough] was completely leavened [by it]."
33 He spoke another parable to them, “(Z)The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in (AA)three (s)pecks of flour until it was all leavened.”
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.
33 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into 50 pounds(f) of flour until it spread through all of it.”(g)(AB)
33 He told them another parable: "The kingdom from heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened."

34 All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and He did not speak to them (AB)without a parable.

34 Jesus told the crowds all these things in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.
35 [This was] so that what was spoken by the prophet would be fulfilled, when he said [Psa. 78:2], "I will open my mouth [to speak] with parables. I will say things that have been hidden from the beginning of time."
35 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:“(AC)I will open My mouth in parables;I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.”
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.
35 so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled:I will open My mouth in parables;I will declare things kept secretfrom the foundation of the world.(AD)(h)
35 This was to fulfill what was declared by the prophet when he said, "I will open my mouth to speak in parables. I will declare what has been hidden since the creation of the world."
36 He then left the crowds and went into the house. [While there] His disciples came to Him, and said, "Explain to us [the meaning of] the parable of the weeds in the field."
36 Then He left the crowds and went into (AD)the house. And His disciples came to Him and said, “(AE)Explain to us the parable of the (t)tares of the field.”
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.
36 Then He dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples approached Him and said, “Explain the parable of the weeds in the field to us.”(AE)
36 Then Jesus left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to him and asked, "Explain to us the parable about the weeds in the field."
38 and the field [represents] the world. The good seed [represents] the children who belong to the kingdom, and the weeds [represent] the children who belong to the evil one [i.e., the devil].
38 and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are (AG)the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are (AH)the sons of (AI)the evil one;

40 Just like the weeds were gathered up and burned with fire, so it will be at the end of the world.
40 So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at (AK)the (v)end of the age.
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
40 Therefore, just as the weeds are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.(AH)

44 "The kingdom of heaven is similar to a person finding a treasure hidden in a field. After finding it, he was so happy he hid it [again], then went out and sold everything he owned so he could buy that field.
44 “(AS)The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and (AT)sells all that he has and buys that field.
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.

46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
46 When he found a very valuable pearl, he went and sold everything he had and bought it."
47 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is similar to a drag-net [for fishing] that was cast into the lake and gathered all kinds [of fish].
47 “Again, (AV)the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea, and gathering fish of every kind;
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

48 When it became full, the fishermen dragged it up onto the shore. Then they sat down and, [sorting their catch], placed the good [i.e., edible fish] into containers, but threw out the bad [i.e., inedible ones].
48 and when it was filled, they drew it up on the beach; and they sat down and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away.
48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

48 When it was full, the fishermen hauled it ashore. Then they sat down, sorted the good fish into containers, and threw the bad ones away.
49 At the end of the world it will be that same way. The angels will come and divide the sinful people from the ones who did what was right,
49 So it will be at (AW)the (y)end of the age; the angels will come forth and (z)take out the wicked from among the righteous,
