1 Въ де́нь же то́й и҆зше́дъ і҆и҃съ и҆з̾ до́мꙋ, сѣдѧ́ше при мо́ри.
1 On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the seaside.
2 И҆ собра́шасѧ къ немꙋ̀ наро́ди мно́зи, ꙗ҆́коже є҆мꙋ̀ въ кора́бль влѣ́зти и҆ сѣ́сти: и҆ ве́сь наро́дъ на бре́зѣ стоѧ́ше.
2 Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
3 И҆ гл҃а и҆̀мъ при́тчами мно́гѡ, гл҃ѧ: сѐ, и҆зы́де сѣ́ѧй, да сѣ́етъ:
3 He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.
4 и҆ сѣ́ющꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, ѡ҆́ва падо́ша при пꙋтѝ, и҆ прїидо́ша пти̑цы и҆ позоба́ша ѧ҆̀:
4 As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 дрꙋга̑ѧ же падо́ша на ка́менныхъ, и҆дѣ́же не и҆мѣ́ѧхꙋ землѝ мно́ги, и҆ а҆́бїе прозѧбо́ша, занѐ не и҆мѣ́ѧхꙋ глꙋбины̀ землѝ:
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 со́лнцꙋ же возсїѧ́вшꙋ присвѧ́нꙋша, и҆ занѐ не и҆мѣ́ѧхꙋ коре́нїѧ, и҆зсхо́ша:
6 When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
7 дрꙋга̑ѧ же падо́ша въ те́рнїи, и҆ взы́де те́рнїе и҆ подавѝ и҆̀хъ:
7 Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.
8 дрꙋга̑ѧ же падо́ша на землѝ до́брѣй и҆ даѧ́хꙋ пло́дъ, ѻ҆́во ᲂу҆́бѡ сто̀, ѻ҆́во же шестьдесѧ́тъ, ѻ҆́во же три́десѧть:
8 Others fell on good soil and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 и҆мѣ́ѧй ᲂу҆́шы слы́шати да слы́шитъ.
9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10 И҆ пристꙋпи́вше ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ (є҆гѡ̀) реко́ша є҆мꙋ̀: почто̀ при́тчами гл҃еши и҆̀мъ;
10 The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
11 Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ и҆̀мъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ ва́мъ дано̀ є҆́сть разꙋмѣ́ти та̑йны црⷭ҇твїѧ нбⷭ҇нагѡ, ѡ҆́нѣмъ же не дано̀ є҆́сть:
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 и҆́же бо и҆́мать, да́стсѧ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ преизбꙋ́детъ (є҆мꙋ̀): а҆ и҆́же не и҆́мать, и҆ є҆́же и҆́мать, во́зметсѧ ѿ негѡ̀:
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 сегѡ̀ ра́ди въ при́тчахъ гл҃ю и҆̀мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ви́дѧще не ви́дѧтъ, и҆ слы́шаще не слы́шатъ, ни разꙋмѣ́ютъ:
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 и҆ сбыва́етсѧ въ ни́хъ прⷪ҇ро́чество и҆са́їино, глаго́лющее: слꙋ́хомъ ᲂу҆слы́шите, и҆ не и҆́мате разꙋмѣ́ти: и҆ зрѧ́ще ᲂу҆́зрите, и҆ не и҆́мате ви́дѣти:
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 ѡ҆толстѣ́ бо се́рдце люді́й си́хъ, и҆ ᲂу҆ши́ма тѧ́жкѡ слы́шаша, и҆ ѻ҆́чи своѝ смежи́ша, да не когда̀ ᲂу҆́зрѧтъ ѻ҆чи́ма, и҆ ᲂу҆ши́ма ᲂу҆слы́шатъ, и҆ се́рдцемъ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ютъ, и҆ ѡ҆братѧ́тсѧ, и҆ и҆сцѣлю̀ и҆̀хъ.
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 Ва̑ша же бл҃жє́нна ѻ҆чеса̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ви́дѧтъ, и҆ ᲂу҆́ши ва́ши, ꙗ҆́кѡ слы́шатъ:
16 “But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 а҆ми́нь бо гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ мно́зи прⷪ҇ро́цы и҆ првⷣницы вожделѣ́ша ви́дѣти, ꙗ҆̀же ви́дите, и҆ не ви́дѣша, и҆ слы́шати, ꙗ҆̀же слы́шите, и҆ не слы́шаша.
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 Вы́ же ᲂу҆слы́шите при́тчꙋ сѣ́ющагѡ:
18 “Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
19 всѧ́комꙋ слы́шащемꙋ сло́во црⷭ҇твїѧ и҆ не разꙋмѣва́ющꙋ, прихо́дитъ лꙋка́вый и҆ восхища́етъ всѣ́ѧнное въ се́рдцы є҆гѡ̀: сїѐ є҆́сть, є҆́же при пꙋтѝ сѣ́ѧнное.
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 А҆ на ка́мени сѣ́ѧнное, сїѐ є҆́сть слы́шай сло́во и҆ а҆́бїе съ ра́достїю прїе́млетъ є҆̀:
20 What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately with joy receives it;
21 не и҆́мать же ко́рене въ себѣ̀, но привре́мененъ є҆́сть: бы́вши же печа́ли и҆лѝ гоне́нїю словесѐ ра́ди, а҆́бїе соблажнѧ́етсѧ.
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 А҆ сѣ́ѧнное въ те́рнїи, сѐ є҆́сть слы́шай сло́во, и҆ печа́ль вѣ́ка сегѡ̀ и҆ ле́сть бога́тства подавлѧ́етъ сло́во, и҆ без̾ плода̀ быва́етъ.
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 А҆ сѣ́ѧнное на до́брѣй землѝ, сѐ є҆́сть слы́шай сло́во и҆ разꙋмѣва́ѧ: и҆́же ᲂу҆́бѡ пло́дъ прино́ситъ и҆ твори́тъ ѻ҆́во сто̀, ѻ҆́во же шестьдесѧ́тъ, ѻ҆́во три́десѧть.
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 И҆́нꙋ при́тчꙋ предложѝ и҆̀мъ, гл҃ѧ: ᲂу҆подо́бисѧ црⷭ҇твїе нбⷭ҇ное человѣ́кꙋ, сѣ́ѧвшꙋ до́брое сѣ́мѧ на селѣ̀ свое́мъ:
24 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,
25 спѧ́щымъ же человѣ́кѡмъ, прїи́де вра́гъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ всѣ́ѧ пле́велы посредѣ̀ пшени́цы и҆ ѿи́де:
25 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.
26 є҆гда́ же прозѧбѐ трава̀ и҆ пло́дъ сотворѝ, тогда̀ ꙗ҆ви́шасѧ и҆ пле́велїе.
26 But when the blade sprang up and produced grain, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
27 Прише́дше же рабѝ господи́на, рѣ́ша є҆мꙋ̀: го́споди, не до́брое ли сѣ́мѧ сѣ́ѧлъ є҆сѝ на селѣ̀ твое́мъ; ѿкꙋ́дꙋ ᲂу҆̀бо и҆́мать пле́велы;
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 Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: вра́гъ человѣ́къ сїѐ сотворѝ. Раби́ же рѣ́ша є҆мꙋ̀: хо́щеши ли ᲂу҆̀бо, да ше́дше и҆сплеве́мъ ѧ҆̀;
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 Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ (и҆̀мъ): нѝ: да не когда̀ восторга́юще пле́велы, восто́ргнете кꙋ́пнѡ съ ни́ми (и҆) пшени́цꙋ:
29 “But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
30 ѡ҆ста́вите растѝ ѻ҆боѐ кꙋ́пнѡ до жа́твы: и҆ во вре́мѧ жа́твы рекꙋ̀ жа́телємъ: собери́те пе́рвѣе пле́велы и҆ свѧжи́те и҆̀хъ въ снопы̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ сожещѝ ѧ҆̀: а҆ пшени́цꙋ собери́те въ жи́тницꙋ мою̀.
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 И҆́нꙋ при́тчꙋ предложѝ и҆̀мъ, гл҃ѧ: подо́бно є҆́сть црⷭ҇твїе нбⷭ҇ное зе́рнꙋ горꙋ́шичнꙋ, є҆́же взе́мъ человѣ́къ всѣ́ѧ на селѣ̀ свое́мъ,
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 є҆́же ма́лѣйше ᲂу҆́бѡ є҆́сть ѿ всѣ́хъ сѣ́менъ: є҆гда́ же возрасте́тъ, бо́лѣе (всѣ́хъ) ѕе́лїй є҆́сть и҆ быва́етъ дре́во, ꙗ҆́кѡ прїитѝ пти́цамъ небє́снымъ и҆ вита́ти на вѣ́твехъ є҆гѡ̀.
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 И҆́нꙋ при́тчꙋ гл҃а и҆̀мъ: подо́бно є҆́сть црⷭ҇твїе нбⷭ҇ное ква́сꙋ, є҆го́же взе́мши жена̀ скры̀ въ са́тѣхъ трїе́хъ мꙋкѝ, до́ндеже вскисо́ша всѧ̑.
33 He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened.”
34 Сїѧ̑ всѧ̑ гл҃а і҆и҃съ въ при́тчахъ наро́дѡмъ, и҆ без̾ при́тчи ничесо́же гл҃аше къ ни̑мъ:
34 Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to them,
35 ꙗ҆́кѡ да сбꙋ́детсѧ рече́нное прⷪ҇ро́комъ, глаго́лющимъ: ѿве́рзꙋ въ при́тчахъ ᲂу҆ста̀ моѧ̑: ѿры́гнꙋ сокровє́ннаѧ ѿ сложе́нїѧ мі́ра.
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 Тогда̀ ѡ҆ста́вль наро́ды, прїи́де въ до́мъ і҆и҃съ. И҆ пристꙋпи́ша къ немꙋ̀ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀, глаго́люще: скажѝ на́мъ при́тчꙋ пле́вєлъ се́льныхъ.
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 Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ и҆̀мъ: сѣ́ѧвый до́брое сѣ́мѧ є҆́сть сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй:
37 He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
38 а҆ село̀ є҆́сть мі́ръ: до́брое же сѣ́мѧ, сі́и сꙋ́ть сн҃ове црⷭ҇твїѧ, а҆ пле́велїе сꙋ́ть сы́нове непрїѧ́зненнїи:
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 а҆ вра́гъ всѣ́ѧвый и҆̀хъ є҆́сть дїа́волъ: а҆ жа́тва кончи́на вѣ́ка є҆́сть: а҆ жа́тєли а҆́гг҃ли сꙋ́ть.
39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.
40 Ꙗ҆́коже ᲂу҆̀бо собира́ютъ пле́велы и҆ ѻ҆гне́мъ сожига́ютъ, та́кѡ бꙋ́детъ въ сконча́нїе вѣ́ка сегѡ̀:
40 As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.
41 по́слетъ сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй а҆́гг҃лы своѧ̑, и҆ соберꙋ́тъ ѿ црⷭ҇твїѧ є҆гѡ̀ всѧ̑ собла́зны и҆ творѧ́щихъ беззако́нїе
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 и҆ вве́ргꙋтъ и҆̀хъ въ пе́щь ѻ҆́гненнꙋ: тꙋ̀ бꙋ́детъ пла́чь и҆ скре́жетъ зꙋбѡ́мъ:
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 тогда̀ првⷣницы просвѣтѧ́тсѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ со́лнце въ црⷭ҇твїи ѻ҆ц҃а̀ и҆́хъ. И҆мѣ́ѧй ᲂу҆́шы слы́шати да слы́шитъ.
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 Па́ки подо́бно є҆́сть црⷭ҇твїе нбⷭ҇ное сокро́вищꙋ сокрове́нꙋ на селѣ̀, є҆́же ѡ҆брѣ́тъ человѣ́къ скры̀, и҆ ѿ ра́дости є҆гѡ̀ и҆́детъ, и҆ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка и҆́мать, продае́тъ, и҆ кꙋпꙋ́етъ село̀ то̀.
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 Па́ки подо́бно є҆́сть црⷭ҇твїе нбⷭ҇ное человѣ́кꙋ кꙋпцꙋ̀, и҆́щꙋщꙋ до́брыхъ би́серей,
45 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46 и҆́же ѡ҆брѣ́тъ є҆ди́нъ многоцѣ́ненъ би́серъ, ше́дъ продадѐ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка и҆мѧ́ше, и҆ кꙋпѝ є҆го̀.
46 who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
47 Па́ки подо́бно є҆́сть црⷭ҇твїе нбⷭ҇ное не́водꙋ вве́рженꙋ въ мо́ре и҆ ѿ всѧ́кагѡ ро́да собра́вшꙋ,
47 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some fish of every kind,
48 и҆́же є҆гда̀ и҆спо́лнисѧ, и҆звлеко́ша и҆̀ на кра́й, и҆ сѣ́дше и҆збра́ша дѡ́брыѧ въ сосꙋ́ды, а҆ ѕлы̑ѧ и҆зверго́ша во́нъ.
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 Та́кѡ бꙋ́детъ въ сконча́нїе вѣ́ка: и҆зы́дꙋтъ а҆́гг҃ли, и҆ ѿлꙋча́тъ ѕлы̑ѧ ѿ среды̀ првⷣныхъ,
49 So it will be in the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous,
50 и҆ вве́ргꙋтъ и҆̀хъ въ пе́щь ѻ҆́гненнꙋю: тꙋ̀ бꙋ́детъ пла́чь и҆ скре́жетъ зꙋбѡ́мъ.
50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
51 Гл҃а и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: разꙋмѣ́сте ли сїѧ̑ всѧ̑; Глаго́лаша є҆мꙋ̀: є҆́й, гдⷭ҇и.
51 Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”
52 Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: сегѡ̀ ра́ди всѧ́къ кни́жникъ, наꙋчи́всѧ црⷭ҇твїю нбⷭ҇номꙋ, подо́бенъ є҆́сть человѣ́кꙋ домови́тꙋ, и҆́же и҆зно́ситъ ѿ сокро́вища своегѡ̀ нѡ́ваѧ и҆ вє́тхаѧ.
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 И҆ бы́сть, є҆гда̀ сконча̀ і҆и҃съ при̑тчи сїѧ̑, пре́йде ѿтꙋ́дꙋ.
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 И҆ прише́дъ во ѻ҆те́чествїе своѐ, ᲂу҆ча́ше и҆̀хъ на со́нмищи и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ диви́тисѧ и҆̀мъ и҆ глаго́лати: ѿкꙋ́дꙋ семꙋ̀ премⷣрость сїѧ̀ и҆ си̑лы;
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 не се́й ли є҆́сть текто́новъ сн҃ъ; не мт҃и ли є҆гѡ̀ нарица́етсѧ мр҃їа́мъ, и҆ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀ і҆а́кѡвъ и҆ і҆ѡсі́й, и҆ сі́мѡнъ и҆ і҆ꙋ́да;
55 Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?
56 и҆ сєстры̀ є҆гѡ̀ не всѧ̑ ли въ на́съ сꙋ́ть; ѿкꙋ́дꙋ ᲂу҆̀бо семꙋ̀ сїѧ̑ всѧ̑;
56 Aren’t all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?”
57 И҆ блажнѧ́хꙋсѧ ѡ҆ не́мъ. І҆и҃съ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: нѣ́сть прⷪ҇ро́къ без̾ че́сти, то́кмѡ во ѻ҆те́чествїи свое́мъ и҆ въ домꙋ̀ свое́мъ.
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 И҆ не сотворѝ тꙋ̀ си́лъ мно́гихъ за невѣ́рство и҆́хъ.
58 He didn’t do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 13:19 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XXIII)

    Both yesterday and to-day ye have heard the parables of the sower, in the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. Do ye who were present yesterday, recollect to-day.

  3. Quotes verse 13:42 Justin Martyr, First Apology (Chapters XIII–XVI)

    And every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down and cast into the fire." And as to those who are not living pursuant to these His teachings, and are Christians only in name, we demand that all such be punished by you.

  4. Quotes verse 13:43 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book II, Chapters XXXI–XXXII)

    … no such thing as good and evil, but certain things were deemed righteous, and certain others unrighteous, in human opinion only, He never would have expressed Himself thus in His teaching: "The righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father;" but He shall send the unrighteous, and those who do not the works of righteousness, …

  5. Quotes verse 13:46 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VIII)

    For Thou hast said unto man, "Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;" and desire not to seem wise, because, "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools." But I had now found the goodly pearl, which, selling all that I had, I ought to have bought; and I hesitated.
