WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 And he began agayne to teache by the seesyde. And there gadered to gedder vnto him moche people so greatly that he entred into a ship and sate in the see and all the people was by the seeside on the shoore.

1 Y OTRA vez comenzó á enseñar junto á la mar, y se juntó á él mucha gente; tanto, que entrándose él en un barco, se sentó en la mar: y toda la gente estaba en tierra junto á la mar.

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 And he taught them many thynges in similitudes and sayde vnto them in his doctrine:

2 Y les enseñaba por parábolas muchas cosas, y les decía en su doctrina:

2 He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,

3 Herken to. Beholde There wet out a sower to sowe.

3 Oid: He aquí, el sembrador salió á sembrar.

3 “Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.

4 And it fortuned as he sowed that some fell by the waye syde and the fowles of the ayre came and devoured it vp.

4 Y aconteció sembrando, que una parte cayó junto al camino; y vinieron las aves del cielo, y la tragaron.

4 As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.

5 Some fell on stony grounde where it had not moche erth: and by and by sprange vp because it had not deepth of erth:

5 Y otra parte cayó en pedregales, donde no tenía mucha tierra; y luego salió, porque no tenía la tierra profunda:

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 but as sone as the sunne was vp it caught heet and because it had not rotynge wyddred awaye.

6 Mas salido el sol, se quemó; y por cuanto no tenía raíz, se secó.

6 When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

7 And some fell amonge the thornes and the thornes grewe vp and choked it so that it gave no frute.

7 Y otra parte cayó en espinas; y subieron las espinas, y la ahogaron, y no dió fruto.

7 Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

8 And some fell vpon good grounde and dyd yelde frute that sproge and grewe and brought forthe: some thirty folde some sixtie folde and some an hundred folde.

8 Y otra parte cayó en buena tierra, y dió fruto, que subió y creció: y llevó uno á treinta, y otro á sesenta, y otro á ciento.

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 And he sayde vnto them: he that hath eares to heare let him heare.

9 Entonces les dijo: El que tiene oídos para oir, oiga.

9 He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10 And when he was alone they that were aboute him with the .xii. axed him of the similitude.

10 Y cuando estuvo solo, le preguntaron los que estaban cerca de él con los doce, sobre la parábola.

10 When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.

11 And he sayde vnto them. To you it is geve to knowe the mistery of the kyngdome of God. But vnto them that are with out shall all thinges be done in similitudes:

11 Y les dijo: A vosotros es dado saber el misterio del reino de Dios; mas á los que están fuera, por parábolas todas las cosas;

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 That when they se they shall se and not discerne: and when they heare they shall heare and not vnderstonde: leste at any tyme they shulde tourne and their synnes shuld be forgeve them.

12 Para que viendo, vean y no echen de ver; y oyendo, oigan y no entiendan: porque no se conviertan, y les sean perdonados los pecados.

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 And he sayde vnto the: Perceave ye not this similitude? how then shulde ye vnderstonde all other similitudes?

13 Y les dijo: ¿No sabéis esta parábola? ¿Cómo, pues, entenderéis todas las parábolas?

13 He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?

14 The sower soweth the worde.

14 El que siembra [es el que] siembra la palabra.

14 The farmer sows the word.

15 And they that are by the wayes syde where the worde is sowen are they to whom assone as they have herde it Satha cometh immediatly and takith awaye the worde that was sowe in their hertes.

15 Y éstos son los de junto al camino: en los que la palabra es sembrada: mas después que la oyeron, luego viene Satanás, y quita la palabra que fué sembrada en sus corazones.

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 And likewise they that are sowen on the stonye groude are they: which when they have harde the worde at once receave it with gladnes

16 Y asimismo éstos son los que son sembrados en pedregales: los que cuando han oído la palabra, luego la toman con gozo;

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 yet have no rotes in them selves and so endure but a tyme: and anone as trouble and persecucion aryseth for the wordes sake they fall immediatly.

17 Mas no tienen raíz en sí, antes son temporales, que en levantándose la tribulación ó la persecución por causa de la palabra, luego se escandalizan.

17 They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.

18 And they that are sowe amonge the thornes are soche as heare the worde:

18 Y éstos son los que son sembrados entre espinas: los que oyen la palabra;

18 Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,

19 and the care of this worlde and the disseytfulnes of ryches and the lustes of other thinges entre in and choocke the worde and it is made vnfrutfull.

19 Mas los cuidados de este siglo, y el engaño de las riquezas, y las codicias que hay en las otras cosas, entrando, ahogan la palabra, y se hace infructuosa.

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 And those that weare sowe in good grounde are they that heare the worde and receave it and bringe forth frute some thirty folde some sixty folde some an hundred folde.

20 Y éstos son los que fueron sembrados en buena tierra: los que oyen la palabra, y la reciben, y hacen fruto, uno á treinta, otro á sesenta, y otro á ciento.

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 And he sayde vnto them: is the candle lighted to be put vnder a busshell or vnder the table and not rather to be put on a candelstick?

21 También les dijo: ¿Tráese la antorcha para ser puesta debajo del almud, ó debajo de la cama? ¿No [es] para ser puesta en el candelero?

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 For there is nothinge so prevy that shall not be opened: nether so secreet but that it shall come abroade.

22 Porque no hay nada oculto que no haya de ser manifestado, ni secreto que no haya de descubrirse.

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 Yf eny man have eares to heare let him heare.

23 Si alguno tiene oídos para oir, oiga.

23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24 And he sayde vnto them: take hede what ye heare. With what measure ye mete with the same shall it be measured vnto you agayne. And vnto you that heare shall more be geve.

24 Les dijo también: Mirad lo que oís: con la medida que medís, os medirán otros, y será añadido á vosotros los que oís.

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 For vnto him that hath shall it be geven: and from him that hath not shalbe taken awaye even that he hath.

25 Porque al que tiene, le será dado; y al que no tiene, aun lo que tiene le será quitado.

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 And he sayde: so is the kyngdome of God even as yf a man shuld sowe seed in the groude

26 Decía más: Así es el reino de Dios, como si un hombre echa simiente en la tierra;

26 He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,

27 and shulde slepe and ryse vp night and daye: and the seede shuld springe and growe vp he not ware.

27 Y duerme, y se levanta de noche y de día, y la simiente brota y crece como él no sabe.

27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.

28 For the erth bringeth forthe frute of her silfe: fyrst the blade then the eares after that full corne in the eares.

28 Porque de suyo fructifica la tierra, primero hierba, luego espiga, después grano lleno en la espiga;

28 For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

29 And as sone as the frute is brought forth anone he throusteth in the sykell because the hervest is come.

29 Y cuando el fruto fuere producido, luego se mete la hoz, porque la siega es llegada.

29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30 And he sayde: where vnto shall we lyke the kyngdome of God? or with what compareson shall we compare it?

30 Y decía: ¿A qué haremos semejante el reino de Dios? ¿ó con qué parábola le compararemos?

30 He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?

31 It is lyke a grayne of mustard seed which when it is sowe in the erth is the leest of all seedes that be in the erth:

31 Es como el grano de mostaza, que, cuando se siembra en tierra, es la más pequeña de todas las simientes que hay en la tierra;

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 but after that it is sowen it groweth vp and is greatest of all yerbes: and bereth greate brauches so that the fowles of the ayre maye dwell vnder the shadowe of it.

32 Mas después de sembrado, sube, y se hace la mayor de todas las legumbres, y echa grandes ramas, de tal manera que las aves del cielo puedan morar bajo su sombra.

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 And with many soche similitudes he preached the worde vnto the after as they myght heare it.

33 Y con muchas tales parábolas les hablaba la palabra, conforme á lo que podían oir.

33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.

34 And with out similitude spake he no thinge vnto them. But when they were aparte he expounded all thinges to his disciples.

34 Y sin parábola no les hablaba; mas á sus discípulos en particular declaraba todo.

34 Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

35 And the same daye when even was come he sayde vnto them: let vs passe over vnto the other syde.

35 Y les dijo aquel día cuando fué tarde: Pasemos de la otra parte.

35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”

36 And they lefte the people and toke him even as he was in the shyp. And ther were also with him other shippes.

36 Y despachando la multitud, le tomaron como estaba, en el barco; y había también con él otros barquitos.

36 Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.

37 And ther arose a great storme of wynde and dasshed the waves into the ship so that it was full.

37 Y se levantó una grande tempestad de viento, y echaba las olas en el barco, de tal manera que ya se henchía.

37 A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.

38 And he was in the sterne a slepe on a pelowe. And they awoke him and sayde to him: Master carest thou not that we perisshe?

38 Y él estaba en la popa, durmiendo sobre un cabezal, y le despertaron, y le dicen: ¿Maestro, no tienes cuidado que perecemos?

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 And he rose vp and rebuked the wynde and sayde vnto the see: peace and be still. And the winde alayed and ther folowed a greate calme.

39 Y levantándose, increpó al viento, y dijo á la mar: Calla, enmudece. Y cesó el viento, y fué hecha grande bonanza.

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 And he sayde vnto them: why are ye so fearfull? How is it that ye have no fayth?

40 Y á ellos dijo: ¿Por qué estáis así amedrentados? ¿Cómo no tenéis fe?

40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”

41 And they feared excedingly and sayde one to another: what felowe is this? For booth winde and see obey him.

41 Y temieron con gran temor, y decían el uno al otro. ¿Quién es éste, que aun el viento y la mar le obedecen?

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.
