Matthew 13

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 In that day, Jesus, departing from the house, sat down beside the sea.	1 Εν εκεινη δε τη ημερα εξελθων ο Ιησους απο της οικιας εκαθητο πλησιον της θαλασσης?
2 And such great crowds were gathered to him that he climbed into a boat and he sat down. And the entire multitude stood on the shore.	2 και συνηχθησαν προς αυτον οχλοι πολλοι, ωστε εμβας εις το πλοιον εκαθητο, και πας ο οχλος ιστατο επι τον αιγιαλον.
3 And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow seed.	3 Και ελαλησε προς αυτους πολλα δια παραβολων, λεγων? Ιδου, εξηλθεν ο σπειρων δια να σπειρη.
4 And while he was sowing, some fell beside the road, and the birds of the air came and ate it.	4 Και ενω εσπειρεν, αλλα μεν επεσον παρα την οδον, και ηλθον τα πετεινα και κατεφαγον αυτα?
5 Then others fell in a rocky place, where they did not have much soil. And they sprung up promptly, because they had no depth of soil.	5 αλλα δε επεσον επι τα πετρωδη, οπου δεν ειχον γην πολλην, και ευθυς ανεφυησαν, επειδη δεν ειχον βαθος γης,
6 But when the sun rose up, they were scorched, and because they had no roots, they withered.	6 και οτε ανετειλεν ο ηλιος εκαυματισθησαν και επειδη δεν ειχον ριζαν εξηρανθησαν?
7 Still others fell among thorns, and the thorns increased and suffocated them.	7 αλλα δε επεσον επι τας ακανθας, και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και απεπνιξαν αυτα?
8 Yet some others fell upon good soil, and they produced fruit: some one hundred fold, some sixty fold, some thirty fold.	8 αλλα δε επεσον επι την γην την καλην και εδιδον καρπον το μεν εκατον, το δε εξηκοντα, το δε τριακοντα.
9 Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”	9 Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη, ας ακουη.
10 And his disciples drew near to him and said, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”	10 Και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται, ειπον προς αυτον? Δια τι λαλεις προς αυτους δια παραβολων;
11 Responding, he said to them: “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but it has not been given to them.	11 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? Διοτι εις εσας εδοθη να γνωρισητε τα μυστηρια της βασιλειας των ουρανων, εις εκεινους ομως δεν εδοθη.
12 For whoever has, it shall be given to him, and he shall have in abundance. But whoever has not, even what he has shall be taken away from him.	12 Διοτι οστις εχει, ετι θελει δοθη εις αυτον και θελει περισσευθη? οστις ομως δεν εχει, και ο, τι εχει θελει αφαιρεθη απ' αυτου.
13 For this reason, I speak to them in parables: because seeing, they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.	13 Δια τουτο λαλω προς αυτους δια παραβολων, διοτι βλεποντες δεν βλεπουσι και ακουοντες δεν ακουουσιν ουδε νοουσι.
14 And so, in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, who said, ‘Hearing, you shall hear, but not understand; and seeing, you shall see, but not perceive.	14 Και εκπληρουται επ' αυτων η προφητεια του Ησαιου η λεγουσα? Με την ακοην θελετε ακουσει και δεν θελετε εννοησει, και βλεποντες θελετε ιδει και δεν θελετε καταλαβει?
15 For the heart of this people has grown fat, and with their ears they hear heavily, and they have closed their eyes, lest at any time they might see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and then I would heal them.’	15 διοτι επαχυνθη η καρδια του λαου τουτου, και με τα ωτα βαρεως ηκουσαν και τους οφθαλμους αυτων εκλεισαν μηποτε ιδωσι με τους οφθαλμους και ακουσωσι με τα ωτα και νοησωσι με την καρδιαν και επιστρεψωσι, και ιατρευσω αυτους.
16 But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.	16 Υμων δε οι οφθαλμοι ειναι μακαριοι, διοτι βλεπουσι, και τα ωτα σας, διοτι ακουουσιν.
17 Amen I say to you, certainly, that many of the prophets and the just desired to see what you see, and yet they did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and yet they did not hear it.	17 Επειδη αληθως σας λεγω οτι πολλοι προφηται και δικαιοι επεθυμησαν να ιδωσιν οσα βλεπετε, και δεν ειδον, και να ακουσωσιν οσα ακουετε, και δεν ηκουσαν.
18 Listen, then, to the parable of the sower.	18 Σεις λοιπον ακουσατε την παραβολην του σπειροντος.
19 With anyone who hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, evil comes and carries away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received the seed by the side of the road.	19 Παντος ακουοντος τον λογον της βασιλειας και μη νοουντος, ερχεται ο πονηρος και αρπαζει το εσπαρμενον εν τη καρδια αυτου? ουτος ειναι ο σπαρθεις παρα την οδον.
20 Then whoever has received the seed upon a rocky place, this is one who hears the word and promptly accepts it with joy.	20 Ο δε επι τα πετρωδη σπαρθεις, ουτος ειναι ο ακουων τον λογον και ευθυς μετα χαρας δεχομενος αυτον?
21 But he has no root in himself, so it is only for a time; then, when tribulation and persecution occur because of the word, he promptly stumbles.	21 δεν εχει ομως ριζαν εν εαυτω, αλλ' ειναι προσκαιρος, οταν δε γεινη θλιψις η διωγμος δια τον λογον, ευθυς σκανδαλιζεται.
22 And whoever has received the seed among thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the falseness of riches suffocate the word, and he is effectively without fruit.	22 Ο δε εις τας ακανθας σπαρθεις, ουτος ειναι ο ακουων τον λογον, επειτα η μεριμνα του αιωνος τουτου και η απατη του πλουτου συμπνιγει τον λογον, και γινεται ακαρπος.
23 Yet truly, whoever has received the seed into good soil, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, and so he bears fruit, and he produces: some a hundred fold, and another sixty fold, and another thirty fold.”	23 Ο δε σπαρθεις επι την γην την καλην, ουτος ειναι ο ακουων τον λογον και νοων? οστις και καρποφορει και καμνει ο μεν εκατον, ο δε εξηκοντα, ο δε τριακοντα.
24 He proposed another parable to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.	24 Αλλην παραβολην παρεθηκεν εις αυτους, λεγων? Ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων με ανθρωπον, οστις εσπειρε καλον σπορον εν τω αγρω αυτου?
25 But while the men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds amid the wheat, and then went away.	25 αλλ' ενω εκοιμωντο οι ανθρωποι, ηλθεν ο εχθρος αυτου και εσπειρε ζιζανια ανα μεσον του σιτου και ανεχωρησεν.
26 And when the plants had grown, and had produced fruit, then the weeds also appeared.	26 Οτε δε εβλαστησεν ο χορτος και εκαμε καρπον, τοτε εφανησαν και τα ζιζανια.
27 So the servants of the Father of the family, approaching, said to him: ‘Lord, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then how is it that it has weeds?’	27 Προσελθοντες δε οι δουλοι του οικοδεσποτου ειπον προς αυτον? Κυριε, καλον σπορον δεν εσπειρας εν τω αγρω σου; ποθεν λοιπον εχει τα ζιζανια;
28 And he said to them, ‘A man who is an enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Is it your will that we should go and gather them up?’	28 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους? Εχθρος ανθρωπος εκαμε τουτο? οι δε δουλοι ειπον προς αυτον? Θελεις λοιπον να υπαγωμεν και να συλλεξωμεν αυτα;
29 And he said: ‘No, lest perhaps in gathering the weeds, you might also root out the wheat together with it.	29 Ο δε ειπεν? Ουχι, μηποτε συλλεγοντες τα ζιζανια εκριζωσητε μετ' αυτων τον σιτον?
30 Permit both to grow until the harvest, and at the time of the harvest, I will say to the reapers: Gather first the weeds, and bind them into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather into my storehouse.’ ”	30 αφησατε να συναυξανωσιν αμφοτερα μεχρι του θερισμου, και εν τω καιρω του θερισμου θελω ειπει προς τους θεριστας? Συλλεξατε πρωτον τα ζιζανια και δεσατε αυτα εις δεσμας δια να κατακαυσητε αυτα, τον δε σιτον συναξατε εις την αποθηκην μου.
31 He proposed 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.	31 Αλλην παραβολην παρεθηκεν εις αυτους, λεγων? Ομοια ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων με κοκκον σιναπεως, τον οποιον λαβων ανθρωπος εσπειρεν εν τω αγρω αυτου?
32 It is, indeed, the least of all seeds, but when it has grown, it is greater than all the plants, and it becomes a tree, so much so that the birds of the air come and dwell in its branches.”	32 το οποιον ειναι μεν μικροτερον παντων των σπερματων, οταν ομως αυξηθη ειναι μεγαλητερον των λαχανων και γινεται δενδρον, ωστε ερχονται τα πετεινα του ουρανου και κατασκηνουσιν εν τοις κλαδοις αυτου.
33 He spoke another parable to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of fine wheat flour, until it was entirely leavened.”	33 Αλλην παραβολην ειπε προς αυτους? Ομοια ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων με προζυμιον, το οποιον λαβουσα γυνη ενεκρυψεν εις τρια μετρα αλευρου, εωσου εγεινεν ολον ενζυμον.
34 All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the crowds. And he did not speak to them apart from parables,	34 Ταυτα παντα ελαλησεν ο Ιησους δια παραβολων προς τους οχλους και χωρις παραβολης δεν ελαλει προς αυτους,
35 in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet, saying: “I will open my mouth in parables. I will proclaim what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.”	35 δια να πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια του προφητου, λεγοντος? Θελω ανοιξει εν παραβολαις το στομα μου, θελω απαγγειλει πραγματα κεκρυμμενα απο καταβολης κοσμου.
36 Then, dismissing the crowds, he went into the house. And his disciples drew near to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”	36 Τοτε αφησας τους οχλους ηλθεν εις την οικιαν ο Ιησους. Και προσηλθον προς αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου, λεγοντες? Εξηγησον εις ημας την παραβολην των ζιζανιων του αγρου.
37 Responding, he said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of man.	37 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? Ο σπειρων τον καλον σπορον ειναι ο Υιος του ανθρωπου?
38 Now the field is the world. And the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom. But the weeds are the sons of wickedness.	38 ο δε αγρος ειναι ο κοσμος? ο δε καλος σπορος, ουτοι ειναι οι υιοι της βασιλειας? τα δε ζιζανια ειναι οι υιοι του πονηρου?
39 So the enemy who sowed them is the devil. And truly, the harvest is the consummation of the age; while the reapers are the Angels.	39 ο δε εχθρος, οστις εσπειρεν αυτα, ειναι ο διαβολος? ο δε θερισμος ειναι η συντελεια του αιωνος? οι δε θερισται ειναι οι αγγελοι.
40 Therefore, just as weeds are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the consummation of the age.	40 Καθως λοιπον συλλεγονται τα ζιζανια και κατακαιονται εν πυρι, ουτω θελει εισθαι εν τη συντελεια του αιωνος τουτου.
41 The Son of man shall send out his Angels, and they shall gather from his kingdom all who lead astray and those who work iniquity.	41 Θελει αποστειλει ο Υιος του ανθρωπου τους αγγελους αυτου, και θελουσι συλλεξει εκ της βασιλειας αυτου παντα τα σκανδαλα και τους πραττοντας την ανομιαν,
42 And he shall cast them into the furnace of fire, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.	42 και θελουσι ριψει αυτους εις την καμινον του πυρος? εκει θελει εισθαι ο κλαυθμος και ο τριγμος των οδοντων.
43 Then the just ones shall shine like the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.	43 Τοτε οι δικαιοι θελουσιν εκλαμψει ως ο ηλιος εν τη βασιλεια του Πατρος αυτων. Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη ας ακουη.
44 The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. When a man finds it, he hides it, and, because of his joy, he goes and sells everything that he has, and he buys that field.	44 Παλιν ομοια ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων με θησαυρον κεκρυμμενον εν τω αγρω, τον οποιον ευρων ανθρωπος εκρυψε, και απο της χαρας αυτου υπαγει και πωλει παντα οσα εχει και αγοραζει τον αγρον εκεινον.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking good pearls.	45 Παλιν ομοια ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων με ανθρωπον εμπορον ζητουντα καλους μαργαριτας?
46 Having found one pearl of great value, he went away and sold all that he had, and he bought it.	46 οστις ευρων ενα πολυτιμον μαργαριτην, υπηγε και επωλησε παντα οσα ειχε και ηγορασεν αυτον.
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea, which gathers together all kinds of fish.	47 Παλιν ομοια ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων με δικτυον, το οποιον ερριφθη εις την θαλασσαν και συνηγαγεν απο παντος ειδους?
48 When it has been filled, drawing it out and sitting beside the shore, they selected the good into vessels, but the bad they threw away.	48 το οποιον, αφου εγεμισθη, ανεβιβασαν επι τον αιγιαλον και καθησαντες συνελεξαν τα καλα εις αγγεια, τα δε αχρεια ερριψαν εξω.
49 So shall it be at the consummation of the age. The Angels shall go forth and separate the bad from the midst of the just.	49 Ουτω θελει εισθαι εν τη συντελεια του αιωνος. Θελουσιν εξελθει οι αγγελοι και θελουσιν αποχωρισει τους πονηρους εκ μεσου των δικαιων,
50 And they shall cast them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.	50 και θελουσι ριψει αυτους εις την καμινον του πυρος? εκει θελει εισθαι ο κλαυθμος και ο τριγμος των οδοντων.
51 Have you understood all these things?” They say to him, “Yes.”	51 Λεγει προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Ενοησατε ταυτα παντα; Λεγουσι προς αυτον? Ναι, Κυριε.
52 He said to them, “Therefore, every scribe well-taught about the kingdom of heaven, is like a man, the father of a family, who offers from his storehouse both the new and the old.”	52 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους? Δια τουτο πας γραμματευς, μαθητευθεις εις τα περι της βασιλειας των ουρανων, ειναι ομοιος με ανθρωπον οικοδεσποτην, οστις εκβαλλει εκ του θησαυρου αυτου νεα και παλαια.
53 And it happened that, when Jesus had completed these parables, he went away from there.	53 Και αφου ετελειωσεν ο Ιησους τας παραβολας ταυτας, ανεχωρησεν εκειθεν,
54 And arriving in his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so much so that they wondered and said: “How can such wisdom and power be with this one?	54 και ελθων εις την πατριδα αυτου, εδιδασκεν αυτους εν τη συναγωγη αυτων, ωστε εξεπληττοντο και ελεγον? Ποθεν εις τουτον η σοφια αυτη και αι δυναμεις;
55 Is this not the son of a workman? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude?	55 δεν ειναι ουτος ο υιος του τεκτονος; η μητηρ αυτου δεν λεγεται Μαριαμ, και οι αδελφοι αυτου Ιακωβος και Ιωσης και Σιμων και Ιουδας;
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Therefore, from where has this one obtained all these things?”	56 και αι αδελφαι αυτου δεν ειναι πασαι παρ' ημιν; ποθεν λοιπον εις τουτον ταυτα παντα;
57 And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and in his own house.”	57 Και εσκανδαλιζοντο εν αυτω. Ο δε Ιησους ειπε προς αυτους? Δεν ειναι προφητης ανευ τιμης ειμη εν τη πατριδι αυτου και εν τη οικια αυτου.
58 And he did not work many miracles there, because of their unbelief.	58 Και δεν εκαμεν εκει πολλα θαυματα δια την απιστιαν αυτων.
