Matthew 13

KJVThe same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

GIGAKJVThat same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

KJVAnd great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

GIGAKJVAnd great crowds were gathered together to him, so that he went into a ship and sat. And the whole crowd stood on the shore.

KJVAnd he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

GIGAKJVAnd he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, A sower went out to sow.

KJVAnd when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

GIGAKJVAnd as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and ate them up.

KJVSome fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

GIGAKJVSome fell on stony places, where they did not have much soil. They sprang up at once, because they had no depth of soil.

KJVAnd when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

GIGAKJVAnd when the sun rose, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.

KJVAnd some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

GIGAKJVAnd some fell among thorns. The thorns sprang up and choked them.

KJVBut other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

GIGAKJVBut others fell on good ground and bore fruit, some a hundred times as much, some sixty, some thirty.

KJVWho hath ears to hear, let him hear.

GIGAKJVWhoever has ears to hear, let him hear.

KJVAnd the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

GIGAKJVAnd the disciples came, and said to him, Why do you speak to them in parables?

KJVHe 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.

GIGAKJVHe answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

KJVFor 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.

GIGAKJVFor whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have more abundance. But whoever has not, from him will be taken away even what he has.

KJVTherefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

GIGAKJVTherefore I speak to them in parables. Because seeing, they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, and they do not understand.

KJVAnd 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:

GIGAKJVAnd in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, Hearing you will hear, and will not understand. Seeing you will see, and will not really see.

KJVFor 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.

GIGAKJVFor this people's heart has grown dull, their ears are hard of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, so that they do not see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, turn back, and receive healing from me.

KJVBut blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

GIGAKJVBut blessed are your eyes, for they see. And your ears, for they hear.

KJVFor 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.

GIGAKJVFor truly I say to you, Many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the things you hear, and have not heard them.

KJVHear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

GIGAKJVHear therefore the parable of the sower.

KJVWhen 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.

GIGAKJVWhen anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and catches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the path.

KJVBut he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

GIGAKJVBut he who received the seed on stony places, the same is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it.

KJVYet 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.

GIGAKJVYet he has no root in himself and lasts only a while. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he immediately falls away.

KJVHe 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.

GIGAKJVHe also who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word. The cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

KJVBut 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.

GIGAKJVBut he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it. He also bears fruit and produces a crop, some a hundred times as much, some sixty, some thirty.

KJVAnother parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

GIGAKJVHe told another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

KJVBut while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

GIGAKJVBut while men slept, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went his way.

KJVBut when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

GIGAKJVBut when the blade sprang up and bore fruit, then the weeds appeared also.

KJVSo 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?

GIGAKJVSo the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?

KJVHe said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

GIGAKJVHe said to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Do you want us to go and gather them up?

KJVBut he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

GIGAKJVBut he said, "No. While you gather the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them."

KJVLet 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.

GIGAKJVLet both grow together until the harvest. At harvest time I will say to the reapers, Gather the weeds first, and bind them in bundles to burn them. But gather the wheat into my barn.

KJVAnother 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:

GIGAKJVHe told another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.

KJVWhich 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.

GIGAKJVIt is indeed the least of all seeds. But when it has grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and stay in its branches.

KJVAnother 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.

GIGAKJVHe spoke another parable to them. The kingdom of heaven is like yeast, which a woman took and mixed into about 20 quarts of flour, till it had worked all through the dough.

KJVAll these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:

GIGAKJVJesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables. He did not speak to them without a parable.

KJVThat 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.

GIGAKJVThis was so that what was spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, I will open my mouth in parables. I will speak things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

KJVThen 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.

GIGAKJVThen Jesus sent the crowd away and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.

KJVHe answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

GIGAKJVHe answered and said to them, He who sows the good seed is the Son of man.

KJVThe field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

GIGAKJVThe field is the world. The good seed are the children of the kingdom. But the weeds are the children of the wicked one.

KJVThe enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

GIGAKJVThe enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels.

KJVAs therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

GIGAKJVAs the weeds are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this world.

KJVThe 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;

GIGAKJVThe Son of man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom everything that leads people into sin, and those who do wrong.

KJVAnd shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

GIGAKJVAnd they will cast them into a furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

KJVThen shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

GIGAKJVThen the righteous will shine out as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.

KJVAgain, 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.

GIGAKJVAgain, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man has found it, he hides it, and for joy of it goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

KJVAgain, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

GIGAKJVAgain, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls.

KJVWho, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

GIGAKJVWhen he had found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

KJVAgain, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

GIGAKJVAgain, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and gathered every kind.

KJVWhich, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

GIGAKJVWhen it was full, they drew it to shore, sat down, and gathered the good into baskets, but cast the bad away.

KJVSo shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

GIGAKJVSo it will be at the end of the world. The angels will come out and separate the wicked from among the just.

KJVAnd shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

GIGAKJVAnd they will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

KJVJesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

GIGAKJVJesus says to them, Have you understood all these things? They say to him, Yes, Lord.

KJVThen 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.

GIGAKJVThen he said to them, Therefore every scribe who is instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure things new and old.

KJVAnd it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

GIGAKJVWhen Jesus had finished these parables, he left there.

KJVAnd 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?

GIGAKJVAnd when he had come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, From where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

KJVIs not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

GIGAKJVIs not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brothers, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

KJVAnd his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

GIGAKJVAnd his sisters, are they not all with us? From where then did this man get all these things?

KJVAnd 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.

GIGAKJVAnd they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, and in his own house.

KJVAnd he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

GIGAKJVAnd he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
