1. On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the seaside.
2. Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
3. He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.
4. As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
5. Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
6. When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
7. Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.
8. Others fell on good soil and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10. The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
11. He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.
12. For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
13. Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing, they don’t hear, neither do they understand.
14. In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, ‘By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive;
15. for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.’
16. “But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17. For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.
18. “Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
19. When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.
20. What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately with joy receives it;
21. yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
22. What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
23. What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”
24. He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,
25. but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weedsalso among the wheat, and went away.
26. But when the blade sprang up and produced grain, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
27. The servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where did these darnel weeds come from?’
28. “He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’
29. “But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
30. Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
31. He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took, and sowed in his field,
32. which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.”
33. He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast which a woman took and hid in three measuresof meal, until it was all leavened.”
34. Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to them,
35. that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.”
36. Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.”
37. He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
38. the field is the world, the good seeds are the children of the Kingdom, and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.
39. The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.
40. As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.
41. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and those who do iniquity,
42. and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
44. “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
45. “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46. who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
47. “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some fish of every kind,
48. which, when it was filled, fishermen drew up on the beach. They sat down and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
49. So it will be in the end of the world.The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous,
50. and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
51. Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”
52. He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”
53. When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54. Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?
55. Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?
56. Aren’t all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?”
57. 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.”
58. He didn’t do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

1. Ce jour-là, Jésus sortit de la maison et s’assit au bord de la mer.
2. Une grande foule s’étant assemblée autour de lui, il dut monter dans une barque, où il s’assit, tandis que la foule se tenait sur le rivage.
3. Et il leur dit beaucoup de choses en paraboles : - le semeur, dit-il, sortit pour semer.
4. Et pendant qu’il semait, des grains tombèrent le long du chemin, et les oiseaux du ciel vinrent et les mangèrent.
5. D’autres grains tombèrent sur un sol pierreux, où ils n’avaient pas beaucoup de terre, et ils levèrent aussitôt, parce que la terre était peu profonde.
6. Mais le soleil s’étant levé, la plante, frappée de ses feux et n’ayant pas de racine, sécha.
7. D’autres tombèrent parmi les épines, et les épines crûrent et les étouffèrent.
8. D’autres tombèrent dans la bonne terre, et ils produisirent du fruit, l’un cent, un autre soixante, et un autre trente.
9. Que celui qui a des oreilles entende ! »
10. Alors ses disciples s’approchant lui dirent : « Pourquoi leur parles-tu en paraboles ? »
11. Il leur répondit : « À vous, il a été donné de connaître les mystères du royaume des cieux ; mais à eux, cela n’a pas été donné.
12. Car on donnera à celui qui a, et il sera dans l’abondance ; mais à celui qui n’a pas, on ôtera même ce qu’il a.
13. C’est pourquoi je leur parle en paraboles, parce qu’en voyant, ils ne voient pas, et qu’en entendant, ils n’entendent ni ne comprennent.
14. Pour eux s’accomplit la prophétie d’Isaïe : « Vous entendrez de vos oreilles et vous ne comprendrez pas ; vous verrez de vos yeux, et vous ne verrez pas.
15. Car le cœur de ce peuple s’est appesanti ; ils ont endurci leurs oreilles et fermé leurs yeux : de peur que leurs yeux ne voient, que leurs oreilles n’entendent, que leur cœur ne comprenne, qu’ils ne se convertissent et que je ne les guérisse. »
16. Pour vous, heureux vos yeux parce qu’ils voient, et vos oreilles parce qu’elles entendent !
17. Je vous le dis en vérité, beaucoup de prophètes et de justes ont désiré voir ce que vous voyez, et ne l’ont pas vu ; entendre ce que vous entendez, et ne l’ont pas entendu.
18. Vous donc, écoutez ce que signifiela parabole du semeur :
19. « Quiconque entend la parole du royaume et ne la comprend pas, le Malin vient, et il enlève ce qui a été semé dans son cœur : c’est le chemin qui a reçu la semence.
20. Le terrain pierreux où elle est tombée, c’est celui qui entend la parole et la reçoit aussitôt avec joie :
21. mais il n’y a pas en lui de racines ; il est inconstant ; dès que survient la tribulation ou la persécution à cause de la parole, aussitôt il succombe.
22. Les épines qui ont reçu la semence, c’est celui qui entend la parole ; mais les sollicitudes de ce siècle et la séduction des richesses étouffent la parole, et elle ne porte pas de fruit.
23. La bonne terre ensemencée, c’est celui qui entend la parole et la comprend ; il porte du fruit, et donne l’un cent, un autre soixante, un autre trente pour un. »
24. Il leur proposa une autre parabole, en disant : « Le royaume des cieux est semblable à un homme qui avait semé du bon grain dans son champ.
25. Mais, pendant que les hommes dormaient, son ennemi vint et sema de l’ivraie au milieu du froment, et s’en alla.
26. Quand l’herbe eut poussé et donné son fruit, alors apparut aussi l’ivraie.
27. Et les serviteurs du père de famille vinrent lui dire : Seigneur, n’as-tu pas semé de bon grain dans ton champ ? D’où vient donc qu’il s’y trouve de l’ivraie ?
28. Il leur répondit : C’est un ennemi qui a fait cela. Les serviteurs lui dirent : Veux-tu que nous allions la cueillir ?
29. Non, leur dit-il, de peur qu’avec l’ivraie vous n’arrachiez aussi le froment.
30. Laissez croître l’un et l’autre jusqu’à la moisson, et au temps de la moisson je dirai aux moissonneurs : Cueillez d’abord l’ivraie, et liez-la en gerbes pour la brûler, et amassez le froment dans mon grenier. »
31. Il leur proposa une autre parabole, en disant : « Le royaume des cieux est semblable à un grain de sénevé, qu’un homme a pris et semé dans son champ.
32. C’est la plus petite de toutes les semences ; mais, lorsqu’il a poussé, il est plus grand que toutes les plantes potagères, et devient un arbre, de sorte que les oiseaux du ciel viennent s’abriter dans ses rameaux. »
33. Il leur dit encore cette parabole : « Le royaume des cieux est semblable au levain qu’une femme prend et mêle dans trois mesures de farine, pour faire lever toute la pâte. »
34. Jésus dit à la foule toutes ces choses en paraboles, et il ne lui parlait qu’en paraboles,
35. accomplissant ainsi la parole du prophète : « J’ouvrirai ma bouche en paraboles, et je révélerai des choses cachées depuis la création du monde. »
36. Puis, ayant renvoyé le peuple, il revint dans la maison ; ses disciples s’approchèrent et lui dirent : « Expliquez-nous la parabole de l’ivraie dans le champ. »
37. Il répondit : « Celui qui sème le bon grain, c’est le Fils de l’homme ;
38. le champ, c’est le monde ; le bon grain, ce sont les fils du royaume ; l’ivraie, les fils du Malin ;
39. l’ennemi qui l’a semé, c’est le diable ; la moisson, la fin du monde ; les moissonneurs, ce sont les anges.
40. Comme on cueille l’ivraie et qu’on la brûle dans le feu, ainsi en sera-t-il à la fin du monde.
41. Le Fils de Dieu enverra ses anges, et ils enlèveront de son royaume tous les scandales, et ceux qui commettent l’iniquité,
42. et ils les jetteront dans la fournaise ardente : c’est là qu’il y aura des pleurs et des grincements de dents.
43. Alors les justes resplendiront comme le soleil dans le royaume de leur Père. Que celui qui a des oreilles entende !
44. « Le royaume des cieux est encore semblable à un trésor enfoui dans un champ ; l’homme qui l’a trouvé l’y cache de nouveau, et, dans sa joie, il s’en va, vend tout ce qu’il a, et achète ce champ.
45. « Le royaume des cieux est encore semblable à un marchand qui cherchait de belles perles.
46. Ayant trouvé une perle de grand prix, il s’en alla vendre tout ce qu’il avait, et l’acheta.
47. « Le royaume des cieux est encore semblable à un filet qu’on a jeté dans la mer et qui ramasse des poissons de toutes sortes.
48. Lorsqu’il est plein, les pêcheurs le retirent, et, s’asseyant sur le rivage, ils choisissent les bons pour les mettre dans des vases, et jettent les mauvais.
49. Il en sera de même à la fin du monde : les anges viendront et sépareront les méchants d’avec les justes,
50. et ils les jetteront dans la fournaise ardente : c’est là qu’il y aura des pleurs et des grincements de dents.
51. « Avez-vous compris toutes ces choses ? » Ils lui dirent : « Oui, Seigneur. »
52. Et il ajouta : « C’est pourquoi tout Scribe versé dans ce qui regarde le royaume des cieux, ressemble à un père de famille qui tire de son trésor des choses nouvelles et des choses anciennes. »
53. Après que Jésus eut achevé ces paraboles, il partit de là.
54. Étant venu dans sa patrie, il enseignait dans la synagogue ; de sorte que, saisis d’étonnement, ils disaient : « D’où viennent à celui-ci cette sagesse et ces miracles ?
55. N’est-ce pas le fils du charpentier ? Sa mère ne s’appelle-t-elle pas Marie, et ses frères Jacques, Joseph, Simon et Jude ?
56. Et ses sœurs ne sont-elles pas toutes parmi nous ? D’où lui viennent donc toutes ces choses ? »
57. Et il était pour eux une pierre d’achoppement. Mais Jésus leur dit : « Un prophète n’est sans honneur que dans sa patrie et dans sa maison. »
58. Et il ne fit pas beaucoup de miracles dans ce lieu, à cause de leur incrédulité.

1. In illo die exiens Jesus de domo, sedebat secus mare.
2. Et congregatæ sunt ad eum turbæ multæ, ita ut naviculam ascendens sederet: et omnis turba stabat in littore,
3. et locutus est eis multa in parabolis, dicens: Ecce exiit qui seminat, seminare.
4. Et dum seminat, quædam ceciderunt secus viam, et venerunt volucres cæli, et comederunt ea.
5. Alia autem ceciderunt in petrosa, ubi non habebant terram multam: et continuo exorta sunt, quia non habebant altitudinem terræ:
6. sole autem orto æstuaverunt; et quia non habebant radicem, aruerunt.
7. Alia autem ceciderunt in spinas: et creverunt spinæ, et suffocaverunt ea.
8. Alia autem ceciderunt in terram bonam: et dabant fructum, aliud centesimum, aliud sexagesimum, aliud trigesimum.
9. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
10. Et accedentes discipuli dixerunt ei: Quare in parabolis loqueris eis?
11. Qui respondens, ait illis: Quia vobis datum est nosse mysteria regni cælorum: illis autem non est datum.
12. Qui enim habet, dabitur ei, et abundabit: qui autem non habet, et quod habet auferetur ab eo.
13. Ideo in parabolis loquor eis: quia videntes non vident, et audientes non audiunt, neque intelligunt.
14. Et adimpletur in eis prophetia Isaiæ, dicentis: [Auditu audietis, et non intelligetis: et videntes videbitis, et non videbitis.
15. Incrassatum est enim cor populi hujus, et auribus graviter audierunt, et oculos suos clauserunt: nequando videant oculis, et auribus audiant, et corde intelligant, et convertantur, et sanem eos.]
16. Vestri autem beati oculi quia vident, et aures vestræ quia audiunt.
17. Amen quippe dico vobis, quia multi prophetæ et justi cupierunt videre quæ videtis, et non viderunt: et audire quæ auditis, et non audierunt.
18. Vos ergo audite parabolam seminantis.
19. Omnis qui audit verbum regni, et non intelligit, venit malus, et rapit quod seminatum est in corde ejus: hic est qui secus viam seminatus est.
20. Qui autem super petrosa seminatus est, hic est qui verbum audit, et continuo cum gaudio accipit illud:
21. non habet autem in se radicem, sed est temporalis: facta autem tribulatione et persecutione propter verbum, continuo scandalizatur.
22. Qui autem seminatus est in spinis, hic est qui verbum audit, et sollicitudo sæculi istius, et fallacia divitiarum suffocat verbum, et sine fructu efficitur.
23. Qui vero in terram bonam seminatus est, hic est qui audit verbum, et intelligit, et fructum affert, et facit aliud quidem centesimum, aliud autem sexagesimum, aliud vero trigesimum.
24. Aliam parabolam proposuit illis, dicens: Simile factum est regnum cælorum homini, qui seminavit bonum semen in agro suo:
25. cum autem dormirent homines, venit inimicus ejus, et superseminavit zizania in medio tritici, et abiit.
26. Cum autem crevisset herba, et fructum fecisset, tunc apparuerunt et zizania.
27. Accedentes autem servi patrisfamilias, dixerunt ei: Domine, nonne bonum semen seminasti in agro tuo? unde ergo habet zizania?
28. Et ait illis: Inimicus homo hoc fecit. Servi autem dixerunt ei: Vis, imus, et colligimus ea?
29. Et ait: Non: ne forte colligentes zizania, eradicetis simul cum eis et triticum.
30. Sinite utraque crescere usque ad messem, et in tempore messis dicam messoribus: Colligite primum zizania, et alligate ea in fasciculos ad comburendum: triticum autem congregate in horreum meum.
31. Aliam parabolam proposuit eis dicens: Simile est regnum cælorum grano sinapis, quod accipiens homo seminavit in agro suo:
32. quod minimum quidem est omnibus seminibus: cum autem creverit, majus est omnibus oleribus, et fit arbor, ita ut volucres cæli veniant, et habitent in ramis ejus.
33. Aliam parabolam locutus est eis: Simile est regnum cælorum fermento, quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farinæ satis tribus, donec fermentatum est totum.
34. Hæc omnia locutus est Jesus in parabolis ad turbas: et sine parabolis non loquebatur eis:
35. ut impleretur quod dictum erat per prophetam dicentem: Aperiam in parabolis os meum; eructabo abscondita a constitutione mundi.
36. Tunc, dimissis turbis, venit in domum: et accesserunt ad eum discipuli ejus, dicentes: Edissere nobis parabolam zizaniorum agri.
37. Qui respondens ait illis: Qui seminat bonum semen, est Filius hominis.
38. Ager autem est mundus. Bonum vero semen, hi sunt filii regnum. Zizania autem, filii sunt nequam.
39. Inimicus autem, qui seminavit ea, est diabolus. Messis vero, consummatio sæculi est. Messores autem, angeli sunt.
40. Sicut ergo colliguntur zizania, et igni comburuntur: sic erit in consummatione sæculi.
41. Mittet Filius hominis angelos suos, et colligent de regno ejus omnia scandala, et eos qui faciunt iniquitatem:
42. et mittent eos in caminum ignis. Ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium.
43. Tunc justi fulgebunt sicut sol in regno Patris eorum. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
44. Simile est regnum cælorum thesauro abscondito in agro: quem qui invenit homo, abscondit, et præ gaudio illius vadit, et vendit universa quæ habet, et emit agrum illum.
45. Iterum simile est regnum cælorum homini negotiatori, quærenti bonas margaritas.
46. Inventa autem una pretiosa margarita, abiit, et vendidit omnia quæ habuit, et emit eam.
47. Iterum simile est regnum cælorum sagenæ missæ in mare, et ex omni genere piscium congreganti.
48. Quam, cum impleta esset, educentes, et secus littus sedentes, elegerunt bonis in vasa, malos autem foras miserunt.
49. Sic erit in consummatione sæculi: exibunt angeli, et separabunt malos de medio justorum,
50. et mittent eos in caminum ignis: ibi erit fletus, et stridor dentium.
51. Intellexistis hæc omnia? Dicunt ei: Etiam.
52. Ait illis: Ideo omnis scriba doctus in regno cælorum, similis est homini patrifamilias, qui profert de thesauro suo nova et vetera.
53. Et factum est, cum consummasset Jesus parabolas istas, transiit inde.
54. Et veniens in patriam suam, docebat eos in synagogis eorum, ita ut mirarentur, et dicerent: Unde huic sapientia hæc, et virtutes?
55. Nonne hic est fabri filius? nonne mater ejus dicitur Maria, et fratres ejus, Jacobus, et Joseph, et Simon, et Judas?
56. et sorores ejus, nonne omnes apud nos sunt? unde ergo huic omnia ista?
57. Et scandalizabantur in eo. Jesus autem dixit eis: Non est propheta sine honore, nisi in patria sua, et in domo sua.
58. Et non fecit ibi virtutes multas propter incredulitatem illorum.
