Leviticus 10:16 - 10:20

10:16 The Problem of the Uneaten Sin Offering Then Moses sought all over for the goat of the sin offering and behold, it was burned up. So he was angry with Aaron’s remaining sons Eleazar and Ithamar, saying,

10:17 “Why did you not eat the sin offering on the sanctuary’s site, because it is a most holy thing? And he gave it to you to remove the community’s guilt, to make atonement for them before Yahweh.

10:18 Look, its blood was not brought inside the sanctuary. Certainly you should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.”

10:19 So Aaron said to Moses, “Look, today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before Yahweh, and things such as these have happened to me, and if I were to eat a sin offering today, would it have been good in Yahweh’s eyes?”

10:20 When Moses heard, it was good in his eyes.

Gospel — Matthew 13:1-23

Matthew 13:1-23

13:1 The Parable of the Sower On that day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting by the sea.

13:2 And large crowds gathered close around him, so that he got into a boat to sit down, and all the crowd was standing on the shore.

13:3 And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, “Behold, the sower went out to sow,

13:4 and while he was sowing, some seed fell on the side of the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

13:5 And other seed fell on the rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up at once because it did not have any depth of soil.

13:6 But when the sun rose it was scorched, and because it did not have enough root, it withered.

13:7 And other seed fell among the thorn plants, and the thorn plants came up and choked it.

13:8 But other seed fell on the good soil and produced grain, this one a hundred times as much and this one sixty and this one thirty.

13:9 The one who has ears, let him hear!”

13:10 The Reason for the Parables And the disciples came up and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”

13:11 And he answered and said to them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to those people it has not been granted.

13:12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

13:13 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,

13:14 and with reference to them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says, “You will listen carefully and will never understand, and you will look closely and will never perceive.

13:15 For the heart of this people has become dull, and with their ears they hear with difficulty, and they have shut their eyes, so that they would not see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.”

13:16 But your eyes are blessed because they see, and your ears because they hear.

13:17 For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it!

13:18 The Parable of the Sower Interpreted “You, therefore, listen to the parable of the sower:

13:19 When anyone hears the word about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is what was sown on the side of the path.

13:20 And what was sown on the rocky ground—this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.

13:21 But he does not have a root in himself, but lasts only a little while, and when affliction or persecution happens because of the word, immediately he falls away.

13:22 And what was sown into the thorn plants—this is the one who hears the word, and the anxiety of this world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word and it becomes unproductive.

13:23 But what was sown on the good soil—this is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces, this one a hundred times as much, and this one sixty, and this one thirty.”

Matthew 13:1-23

13:1 The Story of the Farmer That same day Jesus left the house and sat by the Sea of Galilee.

13:2 Large crowds gathered around him. So he got into a boat. He sat down in it. All the people stood on the shore.

13:3 Then he told them many things by using stories. He said, “A farmer went out to plant his seed.

13:4 He scattered the seed on the ground. Some fell on a path. Birds came and ate it up.

13:5 Some seed fell on rocky places, where there wasn’t much soil. The plants came up quickly, because the soil wasn’t deep.

13:6 When the sun came up, it burned the plants. They dried up because they had no roots.

13:7 Other seed fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and crowded out the plants.

13:8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It produced a crop 100, 60 or 30 times more than what was planted.

13:9 Those who have ears should listen.”

13:10 The disciples came to him. They asked, “Why do you use stories when you speak to the people?”

13:11 He replied, “You have been given the chance to understand the secrets of the kingdom of heaven. It has not been given to outsiders.

13:12 Everyone who has that kind of knowledge will be given more. In fact, they will have very much. If anyone doesn’t have that kind of knowledge, even what little he has will be taken away from him.

13:13 Here is why I use stories when I speak to the people. I say, “They look, but they don’t really see. They listen, but they don’t really hear or understand.

13:14 “In them the words of the prophet Isaiah come true. He said, “‘You will hear but never understand. You will see but never know what you are seeing.

13:15 The hearts of these people have become stubborn. They can barely hear with their ears. They have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes. They might hear with their ears. They might understand with their hearts. They might turn to the Lord, and then he would heal them.’ ()

13:16 “But blessed are your eyes because they see. And blessed are your ears because they hear.

13:17 What I’m about to tell you is true. Many prophets and godly people wanted to see what you see. But they didn’t see it. They wanted to hear what you hear. But they didn’t hear it.

13:18 “Listen! Here is the meaning of the story of the farmer.

13:19 People hear the message about the kingdom but do not understand it. Then the evil one comes. He steals what was planted in their hearts. Those people are like the seed planted on a path.

13:20 Others received the seed that fell on rocky places. They are those who hear the message and at once receive it with joy.

13:21 But they have no roots. So they last only a short time. They quickly fall away from the faith when trouble or suffering comes because of the message.

13:22 Others received the seed that fell among the thorns. They are those who hear the message. But then the worries of this life and the false promises of wealth crowd it out. They keep it from producing fruit.

13:23 But still others received the seed that fell on good soil. They are those who hear the message and understand it. They produce a crop 100, 60 or 30 times more than the farmer planted.”

Matthew 13:1-23

13:2 καὶ And συνήχθησαν were gathered together πρὸς to αὐτὸν Him ὄχλοι crowds πολλοὶ great ὥστε so that αὐτὸν He εἰς into τὸ ˍ<the> πλοῖον a boat ἐμβάντα having climbed into καθῆσθαι, to sit down, καὶ and πᾶς all ὁ the ὄχλος crowd ἐπὶ on τὸν the αἰγιαλὸν shore εἱστήκει. had stood.

13:3 καὶ And ἐλάλησεν He spoke αὐτοῖς to them πολλὰ many things ἐν in παραβολαῖς parables λέγων· saying; ἰδοὺ Behold ἐξῆλθεν went out ὁ the [one] σπείρων sowing τοῦ <the> σπείρειν. to sow.

13:4 καὶ And ἐν in τῷ the σπείρειν sowing αὐτὸν of him ἃ some μὲν indeed ἔπεσεν fell παρὰ along τὴν the ὁδόν, road, καὶ and ἐλθόντα having come τὰ the πετεινὰ birds καὶ ˍand κατέφαγεν devoured αὐτά. them.

13:5 ἄλλα Other δὲ now ἔπεσεν fell ἐπὶ upon τὰ the πετρώδη rocky places ὅπου where οὐκ not εἶχεν it was having γῆν soil πολλήν, much, καὶ and εὐθέως immediately ἐξανέτειλεν it sprang up διὰ through τὸ <the> μὴ not ἔχειν having βάθος depth γῆς. of soil.

13:7 ἄλλα Other δὲ now ἔπεσεν fell ἐπὶ upon τὰς the ἀκάνθας, thorns, καὶ and ἀνέβησαν grew up αἱ the ἄκανθαι thorns καὶ and ἔπνιξαν choked αὐτά. them.

13:8 ἄλλα Other δὲ now ἔπεσεν fell ἐπὶ upon τὴν the γῆν soil τὴν <the> καλὴν good καὶ and ἐδίδου were yielding καρπόν, fruit, ὃ some μὲν indeed ἑκατόν, a hundredfold, ὃ some δὲ however ἑξήκοντα, sixty, ὃ some δὲ however τριάκοντα. thirty.

13:9 ὁ The [one] ἔχων having ὦτα ears ἀκούειν ˍto hear ἀκουέτω.¶ he should hear.

13:10 Καὶ And προσελθόντες having come οἱ the μαθηταὶ disciples εἶπαν said αὐτῷ· to Him; διὰ Because of τί why ἐν in παραβολαῖς parables λαλεῖς speak You αὐτοῖς; to them?

13:11 ὁ <the> δὲ And ἀποκριθεὶς answering εἶπεν He said αὐτοῖς· to them; ὅτι Because ὑμῖν to you δέδοται it has been granted γνῶναι to know τὰ the μυστήρια mysteries τῆς of the βασιλείας kingdom τῶν of the οὐρανῶν, heavens, ἐκείνοις to them δὲ however οὐ not δέδοται. it has been granted.

13:12 ὅστις Whoever γὰρ for ἔχει, has, δοθήσεται will be given αὐτῷ to him καὶ and περισσευθήσεται· will be abundant [to him] ὅστις whoever δὲ now οὐκ not ἔχει, has, καὶ even ὃ what ἔχει he has ἀρθήσεται will be taken away ἀπ᾽ from αὐτοῦ. him.

13:13 διὰ Because of τοῦτο this ἐν in παραβολαῖς parables αὐτοῖς to them λαλῶ I speak ὅτι Because βλέποντες seeing οὐ not βλέπουσιν do they see καὶ and ἀκούοντες hearing οὐκ not ἀκούουσιν do they hear οὐδὲ nor συνίουσιν. do they understand.

13:14 καὶ And ἀναπληροῦται is fulfilled ἐπ᾽ ˍconcerning αὐτοῖς them ἡ the προφητεία prophecy Ἠσαΐου of Isaiah ἡ who λέγουσα· is saying: ἀκοῇ In hearing ἀκούσετε you will hear καὶ and οὐ certainly μὴ not συνῆτε, may understand, καὶ and βλέποντες looking βλέψετε you will look καὶ and οὐ certainly μὴ not ἴδητε. may perceive.

13:15 ἐπαχύνθη Has grown dull γὰρ for ἡ the καρδία heart τοῦ of the λαοῦ people τούτου, this, καὶ and τοῖς with the ὠσὶν ears βαρέως barely ἤκουσαν, they have heard, καὶ and τοὺς the ὀφθαλμοὺς eyes αὐτῶν of them ἐκάμμυσαν· they have closed; μήποτε otherwise ἴδωσιν they may see τοῖς with the ὀφθαλμοῖς eyes καὶ and τοῖς with the ὠσὶν ears ἀκούσωσιν they may hear καὶ and τῇ with the καρδίᾳ heart συνῶσιν they may understand καὶ and ἐπιστρέψωσιν may return καὶ and ἰάσομαι I will heal αὐτούς.¶ them.’

13:16 ὑμῶν Of you δὲ however μακάριοι blessed [are] οἱ the ὀφθαλμοὶ eyes ὅτι because βλέπουσιν they see καὶ and τὰ the ὦτα ears ὑμῶν of you ὅτι because ἀκούουσιν.¶ they hear.

13:17 Ἀμὴν Amen γὰρ for λέγω I say ὑμῖν to you ὅτι that πολλοὶ many προφῆται prophets καὶ and δίκαιοι righteous [men] ἐπεθύμησαν longed ἰδεῖν to see ἃ what βλέπετε, you see, καὶ and οὐκ not εἶδαν, saw, καὶ and ἀκοῦσαι to hear ἃ what ἀκούετε, you hear, καὶ and οὐκ not ἤκουσαν.¶ heard.
