1 И опет поче учити код мора, и скупише се око Њега људи многи тако да мора ући у лађу, и седети на мору; а народ сав беше на земљи крај мора.
1 Again 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.
2 И учаше их у причама много, и говораше им у науци својој:
2 He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
3 Слушајте: ево изиђе сејач да сеје.
3 “Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.
4 И кад сејаше, догоди се да једно паде украј пута, и дођоше птице и позобаше га.
4 As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 А друго паде на каменито место где не беше много земље; и одмах изниче; јер не беше у дубину земље:
5 Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
6 А кад обасја сунце, увену, и будући да немаше корена, усахну.
6 When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 И друго паде у трње; и нарасте трње и удави га, и не донесе род.
7 Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 И друго паде на земљу добру; и даваше род који је напредовао и растао и доносио по тридесет и по шездесет и по сто.
8 Others 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.”
9 И рече: Ко има уши да чује нека чује.
9 He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10 А кад оста сам, запиташе Га који беху с Њим и са дванаесторицом за ову причу.
10 When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
11 И рече им: Вама је дано да знате тајне царства Божјег, а онима напољу све у причама бива;
11 He 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,
12 да очима гледају и да не виде, и ушима слушају и да не разумеју; да се како не обрате и да им се не опросте греси.
12 that ‘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.’”
13 И рече им: Зар не разумете ову причу? А како ћете све приче разумети?
13 He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
14 Сејач реч сеје.
14 The farmer sows the word.
15 А оно су крај пута, где се сеје реч и кад је чују одмах дође сотона и отме реч посејану у срцима њиховим.
15 The 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.
16 Тако су и оно што се сеје на каменитим местима, који кад чују реч одмах је приме с радошћу;
16 These 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.
17 али немају корена у себи, него су непостојани, па кад буде до невоље или их потерају речи ради, одмах се саблазне.
17 They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
18 А оно су што се у трњу сеје који слушају реч,
18 Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
19 али бриге овог света и превара богатства и остале сласти уђу и загуше реч, и без рода остане.
19 and 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.
20 А оно су што се на доброј земљи сеје који слушају реч и примају, и доносе род по тридесет и по шездесет и по сто.
20 Those 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.”
21 И говораше им: Еда ли се свећа ужиже да се метне под суд или под одар? А не да се на свећњак метне?
21 He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn’t it put on a stand?
22 Јер нема ништа тајно што неће бити јавно; нити има шта сакривено што неће изаћи на видело.
22 For there is nothing hidden except that it should be made known, neither was anything made secret but that it should come to light.
23 Ако има ко уши да чује нека чује.
23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24 И говораше им: Памтите шта чујете: каквом мером мерите онаквом ће вам се мерити и дометнуће се вама који слушате.
24 He 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.
25 Јер ко има, даће му се; а који нема, узеће му се и оно што има.
25 For 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.”
26 И говораше им: Тако је царство Божје као човек кад баци семе у земљу;
26 He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
27 и спава и устаје ноћу и дању; и семе ниче и расте, да не зна он.
27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
28 Јер земља сама од себе најпре донесе траву, потом клас, па онда испуни пшеницу у класу.
28 For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 А кад сазре род, одмах пошаље срп; јер наста жетва.
29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
30 И говораше: Какво ћемо казати да је царство Божје? Или у каквој ћемо га причи исказати?
30 He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
31 Оно је као зрно горушичино које кад се посеје у земљу мање је од свих семена на земљи;
31 It’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,
32 а кад се посеје, узрасте и буде веће од свег поврћа, и пусти гране велике да могу у његовом хладу птице небеске живети.
32 yet 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.”
33 И таквим многим причама казиваше им реч, колико могаху слушати.
33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
34 А без прича не говораше им ни речи. А ученицима посебно казиваше све.
34 Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 И рече им онај дан увече: Хајдемо на оне стране.
35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”
36 И отпустивши народ узеше Га како беше у лађи; а и друге лађе беху с Њим.
36 Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
37 И постаде велика олуја; и валови тако заливаху у лађу да се већ напуни.
37 A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
38 А Он на крми спаваше на узглављу; и пробудише Га, и рекоше Му: Учитељу! Зар Ти не мариш што гинемо?
38 He 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?”
39 И уставши запрети ветру, и рече мору: Ћути, престани. И утоли ветар, и постаде тишина велика.
39 He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.
40 И рече им: Зашто сте тако страшљиви? Како немате вере.
40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
41 И уплашише се врло, и говораху један другом: Ко је Овај, дакле, да Га и ветар и море слушају?
41 They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

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).
… if they do not call Himself the Son of the Creator of the world, that is, His Word, through whom the wood fructifies, and the fountains gush forth, and the earth gives "first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear."
Therefore also another evangelist saith that He reproved them, because they do not understand; saying, "How knew ye not the parable?" But not for this cause only doth He speak in parables, but that He may also make His discourse more vivid, and fix the memory of it in them more perfectly, and bring the things before their sight.
