SBLGNT
Καὶ πάλιν ἤρξατο διδάσκειν παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν. καὶ ⸀συνάγεται πρὸς αὐτὸν ὄχλος ⸀πλεῖστος ὥστε αὐτὸν ⸂εἰς πλοῖον ἐμβάντα καθῆσθαι ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος πρὸς τὴν θάλασσαν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ⸀ἦσαν
BSB
BSB:
Once again Jesus began to teach beside the sea, and such a large crowd gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people crowded along the shore.
2
SBLGNT
καὶ ἐδίδασκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν παραβολαῖς πολλά, καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ·
BSB
BSB:
And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,
3
SBLGNT
Ἀκούετε. ἰδοὺ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ ⸀σπείρων σπεῖραι.
BSB
BSB:
“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.
4
SBLGNT
καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ σπείρειν ὃ μὲν ἔπεσεν παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν, καὶ ἦλθεν τὰ πετεινὰ καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτό.
BSB
BSB:
And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
5
SBLGNT
⸂καὶ ἄλλο ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸ πετρῶδες ⸀ὅπου οὐκ εἶχεν γῆν πολλήν, καὶ ⸀εὐθὺς ἐξανέτειλεν διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν βάθος γῆς·
BSB
BSB:
Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
6
SBLGNT
⸂καὶ ὅτε ἀνέτειλεν ὁ ἥλιος ⸀ἐκαυματίσθη καὶ διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν ῥίζαν ἐξηράνθη.
BSB
BSB:
But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
7
SBLGNT
καὶ ἄλλο ἔπεσεν εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας, καὶ ἀνέβησαν αἱ ἄκανθαι καὶ συνέπνιξαν αὐτό, καὶ καρπὸν οὐκ ἔδωκεν.
BSB
BSB:
Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.
8
SBLGNT
καὶ ⸀ἄλλα ἔπεσεν εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν καλήν, καὶ ἐδίδου καρπὸν ἀναβαίνοντα καὶ ⸀αὐξανόμενα καὶ ἔφερεν ⸂ἓν τριάκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑξήκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑκατόν.
BSB
BSB:
Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprouted, grew up, and produced a crop—one bearing thirtyfold, another sixtyfold, and another a hundredfold.”
9
SBLGNT
καὶ ἔλεγεν· ⸂Ὃς ἔχει ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus said,
“He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10
SBLGNT
⸂Καὶ ὅτε ἐγένετο κατὰ μόνας, ⸀ἠρώτων αὐτὸν οἱ περὶ αὐτὸν σὺν τοῖς δώδεκα ⸂τὰς παραβολάς.
BSB
BSB:
As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.
11
SBLGNT
καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· Ὑμῖν ⸂τὸ μυστήριον δέδοται τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ· ἐκείνοις δὲ τοῖς ἔξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τὰ πάντα γίνεται,
BSB
BSB:
He replied,
“The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables,
12
SBLGNT
ἵνα βλέποντες βλέπωσι καὶ μὴ ἴδωσιν, καὶ ἀκούοντες ἀκούωσι καὶ μὴ συνιῶσιν, μήποτε ἐπιστρέψωσιν καὶ ἀφεθῇ ⸀αὐτοῖς
BSB
BSB:
so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”
13
SBLGNT
Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Οὐκ οἴδατε τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην, καὶ πῶς πάσας τὰς παραβολὰς γνώσεσθε;
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus said to them,
“Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?
14
SBLGNT
ὁ σπείρων τὸν λόγον σπείρει.
BSB
BSB:
The farmer sows the word.
15
SBLGNT
οὗτοι δέ εἰσιν οἱ παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ὅπου σπείρεται ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὅταν ἀκούσωσιν ⸀εὐθὺς ἔρχεται ὁ Σατανᾶς καὶ αἴρει τὸν λόγον τὸν ἐσπαρμένον ⸂εἰς αὐτούς.
BSB
BSB:
Some are like the seeds along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
16
SBLGNT
καὶ οὗτοί εἰσιν ⸀ὁμοίως οἱ ἐπὶ τὰ πετρώδη σπειρόμενοι, οἳ ὅταν ἀκούσωσιν τὸν λόγον ⸀εὐθὺς μετὰ χαρᾶς λαμβάνουσιν αὐτόν,
BSB
BSB:
Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.
17
SBLGNT
καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσιν ῥίζαν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἀλλὰ πρόσκαιροί εἰσιν, εἶτα γενομένης θλίψεως ἢ διωγμοῦ διὰ τὸν λόγον ⸀εὐθὺς σκανδαλίζονται.
BSB
BSB:
But they themselves have no root, and they remain for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
18
SBLGNT
καὶ ⸀ἄλλοι εἰσὶν οἱ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας σπειρόμενοι· ⸂οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ τὸν λόγον ⸀ἀκούσαντες
BSB
BSB:
Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,
19
SBLGNT
καὶ αἱ μέριμναι τοῦ ⸀αἰῶνος καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου καὶ αἱ περὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἐπιθυμίαι εἰσπορευόμεναι συμπνίγουσιν τὸν λόγον, καὶ ἄκαρπος γίνεται.
BSB
BSB:
but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desire for other things come in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
20
SBLGNT
καὶ ⸀ἐκεῖνοί εἰσιν οἱ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τὴν καλὴν σπαρέντες, οἵτινες ἀκούουσιν τὸν λόγον καὶ παραδέχονται καὶ καρποφοροῦσιν ⸂ἓν τριάκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑξήκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑκατόν.
BSB
BSB:
Still others are like the seeds sown on good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and produce a crop—thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a hundredfold.”
21
SBLGNT
Καὶ ἔλεγεν ⸀αὐτοῖς Μήτι ⸂ἔρχεται ὁ λύχνος ἵνα ὑπὸ τὸν μόδιον τεθῇ ἢ ὑπὸ τὴν κλίνην, οὐχ ἵνα ἐπὶ τὴν λυχνίαν ⸀τεθῇ;
BSB
BSB:
Jesus also said to them,
“Does anyone bring in a lamp to put it under a basket or under a bed? Doesn’t he set it on a stand?
22
SBLGNT
οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ⸀κρυπτὸν ἐὰν μὴ ⸀ἵνα φανερωθῇ, οὐδὲ ἐγένετο ἀπόκρυφον ἀλλʼ ἵνα ⸂ἔλθῃ εἰς φανερόν.
BSB
BSB:
For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.
23
SBLGNT
εἴ τις ἔχει ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω.
BSB
BSB:
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24
SBLGNT
καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· Βλέπετε τί ἀκούετε. ἐν ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε μετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν καὶ προστεθήσεται ⸀ὑμῖν.
BSB
BSB:
He went on to say,
“Pay attention to what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and even more will be added to you.
25
SBLGNT
ὃς γὰρ ⸀ἔχει δοθήσεται αὐτῷ· καὶ ὃ οὐκ ἔχει, καὶ ⸀ὃ ἔχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.
BSB
BSB:
For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
26
SBLGNT
Καὶ ἔλεγεν· Οὕτως ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ⸀ὡς ἄνθρωπος βάλῃ τὸν σπόρον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
BSB
BSB:
Jesus also said,
“The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.
27
SBLGNT
καὶ καθεύδῃ καὶ ἐγείρηται νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν, καὶ ὁ σπόρος ⸀βλαστᾷ καὶ μηκύνηται ὡς οὐκ οἶδεν αὐτός.
BSB
BSB:
Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.
28
SBLGNT
⸀αὐτομάτη ἡ γῆ καρποφορεῖ, πρῶτον χόρτον, ⸂εἶτα στάχυν, εἶτα ⸂πλήρης σῖτον ἐν τῷ στάχυϊ.
BSB
BSB:
All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.
29
SBLGNT
ὅταν δὲ ⸀παραδοῖ ὁ καρπός, ⸀εὐθὺς ἀποστέλλει τὸ δρέπανον, ὅτι παρέστηκεν ὁ θερισμός.
BSB
BSB:
And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
30
SBLGNT
Καὶ ἔλεγεν· ⸀Πῶς ὁμοιώσωμεν τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ, ἢ ἐν ⸀τίνι ⸂αὐτὴν παραβολῇ θῶμεν ;
BSB
BSB:
Then He asked,
“To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?
31
SBLGNT
ὡς ⸀κόκκῳ σινάπεως, ὃς ὅταν σπαρῇ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ⸂μικρότερον ὂν πάντων τῶν ⸀σπερμάτων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς—
BSB
BSB:
It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.
32
SBLGNT
καὶ ὅταν σπαρῇ, ἀναβαίνει καὶ γίνεται ⸂μεῖζον πάντων τῶν λαχάνων καὶ ποιεῖ κλάδους μεγάλους, ὥστε δύνασθαι ὑπὸ τὴν σκιὰν αὐτοῦ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατασκηνοῦν.
BSB
BSB:
But after it is planted, it grows to be the largest of all garden plants and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air nest in its shade.”
33
SBLGNT
Καὶ τοιαύταις παραβολαῖς πολλαῖς ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς τὸν λόγον, καθὼς ἠδύναντο ἀκούειν·
BSB
BSB:
With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.
34
SBLGNT
χωρὶς δὲ παραβολῆς οὐκ ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς, κατʼ ἰδίαν δὲ τοῖς ⸂ἰδίοις μαθηταῖς ἐπέλυεν πάντα.
BSB
BSB:
He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.
35
SBLGNT
Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὀψίας γενομένης· Διέλθωμεν εἰς τὸ πέραν.
BSB
BSB:
When that evening came, He said to His disciples,
“Let us cross to the other side.”
36
SBLGNT
καὶ ἀφέντες τὸν ὄχλον παραλαμβάνουσιν αὐτὸν ὡς ἦν ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ, καὶ ἄλλα ⸀πλοῖα ἦν μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
BSB
BSB:
After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him.
37
SBLGNT
καὶ γίνεται λαῖλαψ ⸂μεγάλη ἀνέμου, ⸂καὶ τὰ κύματα ἐπέβαλλεν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, ὥστε ⸂ἤδη γεμίζεσθαι τὸ πλοῖον.
BSB
BSB:
Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.
38
SBLGNT
καὶ ⸂αὐτὸς ἦν ⸀ἐν τῇ πρύμνῃ ἐπὶ τὸ προσκεφάλαιον καθεύδων· καὶ ⸀ἐγείρουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· Διδάσκαλε, οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἀπολλύμεθα;
BSB
BSB:
But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?”
39
SBLGNT
καὶ διεγερθεὶς ἐπετίμησεν τῷ ἀνέμῳ καὶ εἶπεν τῇ θαλάσσῃ· Σιώπα, πεφίμωσο. καὶ ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος, καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη μεγάλη.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the sea.
“Silence!”
He commanded.
“Be still!”
And the wind died down, and it was perfectly calm.
40
SBLGNT
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Τί δειλοί ἐστε; ⸀οὔπω ἔχετε πίστιν;
BSB
BSB:
“Why are you so afraid?”
He asked.
“Do you still have no faith?”
41
SBLGNT
καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν φόβον μέγαν, καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς ἀλλήλους· Τίς ἄρα οὗτός ἐστιν ὅτι καὶ ὁ ἄνεμος καὶ ἡ θάλασσα ⸀ὑπακούει αὐτῷ;
BSB
BSB:
Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
