Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.
1και παλιν ηρξατο διδασκειν παρα την θαλασσαν και συνηχθη προσ αυτον οχλοσ πολυσ ωστε αυτον εμβαντα εισ το πλοιον καθησθαι εν τη θαλασση και πασ ο οχλοσ προσ την θαλασσαν επι τησ γησ ην
2He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
2και εδιδασκεν αυτουσ εν παραβολαισ πολλα και ελεγεν αυτοισ εν τη διδαχη αυτου
3“Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.
3ακουετε ιδου εξηλθεν ο σπειρων του σπειραι
4As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
4και εγενετο εν τω σπειρειν ο μεν επεσεν παρα την οδον και ηλθεν τα πετεινα και κατεφαγεν αυτο
5Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
5αλλο δε επεσεν επι το πετρωδεσ οπου ουκ ειχεν γην πολλην και ευθεωσ εξανετειλεν δια το μη εχειν βαθοσ γησ
6When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
6ηλιου δε ανατειλαντοσ εκαυματισθη και δια το μη εχειν ριζαν εξηρανθη
7Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
7και αλλο επεσεν εισ τασ ακανθασ και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και συνεπνιξαν αυτο και καρπον ουκ εδωκεν
8Others fell into the good ground and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some produced thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much.”
8και αλλο επεσεν εισ την γην την καλην και εδιδου καρπον αναβαινοντα και αυξανοντα και εφερεν εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον
9He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9και ελεγεν ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
10When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
10οτε δε εγενετο καταμονασ ηρωτησαν αυτον οι περι αυτον συν τοισ δωδεκα την παραβολην
11He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of God’s Kingdom, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,
11και ελεγεν αυτοισ υμιν δεδοται γνωναι το μυστηριον τησ βασιλειασ του θεου εκεινοισ δε τοισ εξω εν παραβολαισ τα παντα γινεται
12that ‘seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sins should be forgiven them.’”
12ινα βλεποντεσ βλεπωσιν και μη ιδωσιν και ακουοντεσ ακουωσιν και μη συνιωσιν μηποτε επιστρεψωσιν και αφεθη αυτοισ τα αμαρτηματα
13He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
13και λεγει αυτοισ ουκ οιδατε την παραβολην ταυτην και πωσ πασασ τασ παραβολασ γνωσεσθε
14The farmer sows the word.
14ο σπειρων τον λογον σπειρει
15The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
15ουτοι δε εισιν οι παρα την οδον οπου σπειρεται ο λογοσ και οταν ακουσωσιν ευθεωσ ερχεται ο σατανασ και αιρει τον λογον τον εσπαρμενον εν ταισ καρδιαισ αυτων
16These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
16και ουτοι εισιν ομοιωσ οι επι τα πετρωδη σπειρομενοι οι οταν ακουσωσιν τον λογον ευθεωσ μετα χαρασ λαμβανουσιν αυτον
17They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
17και ουκ εχουσιν ριζαν εν εαυτοισ αλλα προσκαιροι εισιν ειτα γενομενησ θλιψεωσ η διωγμου δια τον λογον ευθεωσ σκανδαλιζονται
18Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
18και ουτοι εισιν οι εισ τασ ακανθασ σπειρομενοι οι τον λογον ακουοντεσ
19and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
19και αι μεριμναι του αιωνοσ τουτου και η απατη του πλουτου και αι περι τα λοιπα επιθυμιαι εισπορευομεναι συμπνιγουσιν τον λογον και ακαρποσ γινεται
20Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”
20και ουτοι εισιν οι επι την γην την καλην σπαρεντεσ οιτινεσ ακουουσιν τον λογον και παραδεχονται και καρποφορουσιν εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον
21He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn’t it put on a stand?
21και ελεγεν αυτοισ μητι ο λυχνοσ ερχεται ινα υπο τον μοδιον τεθη η υπο την κλινην ουχ ινα επι την λυχνιαν επιτεθη
22For there is nothing hidden except that it should be made known, neither was anything made secret but that it should come to light.
22ου γαρ εστιν τι κρυπτον ο εαν μη φανερωθη ουδε εγενετο αποκρυφον αλλ ινα εισ φανερον ελθη
23If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
23ει τισ εχει ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
24He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you; and more will be given to you who hear.
24και ελεγεν αυτοισ βλεπετε τι ακουετε εν ω μετρω μετρειτε μετρηθησεται υμιν και προστεθησεται υμιν τοισ ακουουσιν
25For whoever has, to him more will be given; and he who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.”
25οσ γαρ αν εχη δοθησεται αυτω και οσ ουκ εχει και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου
26He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
26και ελεγεν ουτωσ εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου ωσ εαν ανθρωποσ βαλη τον σπορον επι τησ γησ
27and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
27και καθευδη και εγειρηται νυκτα και ημεραν και ο σποροσ βλαστανη και μηκυνηται ωσ ουκ οιδεν αυτοσ
28For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
28αυτοματη γαρ η γη καρποφορει πρωτον χορτον ειτα σταχυν ειτα πληρη σιτον εν τω σταχυι
29But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
29οταν δε παραδω ο καρποσ ευθεωσ αποστελλει το δρεπανον οτι παρεστηκεν ο θερισμοσ
30He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
30και ελεγεν τινι ομοιωσωμεν την βασιλειαν του θεου η εν ποια παραβολη παραβαλωμεν αυτην
31It’s like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,
31ωσ κοκκον σιναπεωσ οσ οταν σπαρη επι τησ γησ μικροτεροσ παντων των σπερματων εστιν των επι τησ γησ
32yet when it is sown, grows up and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow.”
32και οταν σπαρη αναβαινει και γινεται παντων των λαχανων μειζων και ποιει κλαδουσ μεγαλουσ ωστε δυνασθαι υπο την σκιαν αυτου τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατασκηνουν
33With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
33και τοιαυταισ παραβολαισ πολλαισ ελαλει αυτοισ τον λογον καθωσ εδυναντο ακουειν
34Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
34χωρισ δε παραβολησ ουκ ελαλει αυτοισ κατ ιδιαν δε τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου επελυεν παντα
35On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”
35και λεγει αυτοισ εν εκεινη τη ημερα οψιασ γενομενησ διελθωμεν εισ το περαν
36Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
36και αφεντεσ τον οχλον παραλαμβανουσιν αυτον ωσ ην εν τω πλοιω και αλλα δε πλοιαρια ην μετ αυτου
37A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
37και γινεται λαιλαψ ανεμου μεγαλη τα δε κυματα επεβαλλεν εισ το πλοιον ωστε αυτο ηδη γεμιζεσθαι
38He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and asked him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are dying?”
38και ην αυτοσ επι τη πρυμνη επι το προσκεφαλαιον καθευδων και διεγειρουσιν αυτον και λεγουσιν αυτω διδασκαλε ου μελει σοι οτι απολλυμεθα
39He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.
39και διεγερθεισ επετιμησεν τω ανεμω και ειπεν τη θαλασση σιωπα πεφιμωσο και εκοπασεν ο ανεμοσ και εγενετο γαληνη μεγαλη
40He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
40και ειπεν αυτοισ τι δειλοι εστε ουτωσ πωσ ουκ εχετε πιστιν
41They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
41και εφοβηθησαν φοβον μεγαν και ελεγον προσ αλληλουσ τισ αρα ουτοσ εστιν οτι και ο ανεμοσ και η θαλασσα υπακουουσιν αυτω
