1 그 날에 예수께서 집에서 나가사 바닷가에 앉으시매

2 큰 무리가 그에게로 모여 들거늘 예수께서 배에 올라가 앉으시고 온 무리는 해변에 섰더니

3 예수께서 비유로 여러가지를 저희에게 말씀하여 가라사대 씨를 뿌리는 자가 뿌리러 나가서

4 뿌릴새 더러는 길 가에 떨어지매 새들이 와서 먹어버렸고

5 더러는 흙이 얇은 돌밭에 떨어지매 흙이 깊지 아니하므로 곧 싹이 나오나

6 해가 돋은 후에 타져서 뿌리가 없으므로 말랐고

7 더러는 가시떨기 위에 떨어지매 가시가 자라서 기운을 막았고

8 더러는 좋은 땅에 떨어지매 혹 백 배, 혹 육십 배, 혹 삼십 배의 결실을 하였느니라

9 귀 있는 자는 들으라 하시니라

10 제자들이 예수께 나아와 가로되 `어찌하여 저희에게 비유로 말씀하시나이까 ?'

11 대답하여 가라사대 천국의 비밀을 아는 것이 너희에게는 허락되었으나 저희에게는 아니 되었나니

12 무릇 있는 자는 받아 넉넉하게 되되 무릇 없는 자는 그 있는 것도 빼앗기리라

13 그러므로 내가 저희에게 비유로 말하기는 저희가 보아도 보지 못하며 들어도 듣지 못하며 깨닫지 못함이니라

14 이사야의 예언이 저희에게 이루었으니 일렀으되 너희가 듣기는 들어도 깨닫지 못할 것이요 보기는 보아도 알지 못하리라

15 이 백성들의 마음이 완악하여져서 그 귀는 듣기에 둔하고 눈은 감았으니 이는 눈으로 보고 귀로 듣고 마음으로 깨달아 돌이켜 내게 고침을 받을까 두려워 함이라 하였느니라

16 그러나 너희 눈은 봄으로 너희 귀는 들음으로 복이 있도다

17 내가 진실로 너희에게 이르노니 많은 선지자와 의인이 너희 보는 것들을 보고자 하여도 보지 못하였고 너희 듣는 것들을 듣고자 하여도 듣지 못하였느니라

18 그런즉 씨 뿌리는 비유를 들으라

19 아무나 천국 말씀을 듣고 깨닫지 못할 때는 악한 자가 와서 그 마음에 뿌리는 것을 빼앗나니 이는 곧 길가에 뿌리운 자요

20 돌밭에 뿌리웠다는 것은 말씀을 듣고 즉시 기쁨으로 받되

21 그 속에 뿌리가 없어 잠시 견디다가 말씀을 인하여 환난이나 핍박이 일어나는 때에는 곧 넘어지는 자요

22 가시떨기에 뿌리웠다는 것은 말씀을 들으나 세상의 염려와 재리의 유혹에 말씀이 막혀 결실치 못하는 자요

23 좋은 땅에 뿌리웠다는 것은 말씀을 듣고 깨닫는 자니 결실하여 혹 백 배, 혹 육십 배, 혹 삼십 배가 되느니라 하시더라

24 예수께서 그들 앞에 또 비유를 베풀어 가라사대 천국은 좋은 씨를 제 밭에 뿌린 사람과 같으니

25 사람들이 잘 때에 그 원수가 와서 곡식 가운데 가라지를 덧뿌리고 갔더니

26 싹이 나고 결실할 때에 가라지도 보이거늘

27 집 주인의 종들이 와서 말하되 주여 밭에 좋은 씨를 심지 아니하였나이까 그러면 가라지가 어디서 생겼나이까

28 주인이 가로되 원수가 이렇게 하였구나 종들이 말하되 그러면 우리가 가서 이것을 뽑기를 원하시나이까

29 주인이 가로되 가만 두어라 가라지를 뽑다가 곡식까지 뽑을까 염려 하노라

30 둘 다 추수 때까지 함께 자라게 두어라 추수 때에 내가 추숫군들에게 말하기를 가라지는 먼저 거두어 불사르게 단으로 묶고 곡식은 모아 내 곳간에 넣으라 하리라

31 또 비유를 베풀어 가라사대 천국은 마치 사람이 자기 밭에 갖다 심은 겨자씨 한 알 같으니

32 이는 모든 씨보다 작은 것이로되 자란 후에는 나물보다 커서 나무가 되매 공중의 새들이 와서 그 가지에 깃들이느니라

33 또 비유로 말씀하시되 천국은 마치 여자가 가루 서 말 속에 갖다 넣어 전부 부풀게 한 누룩과 같으니라

34 예수께서 이 모든 것을 무리에게 비유로 말씀하시고 비유가 아니면 아무 것도 말씀하지 아니하셨으니

35 이는 선지자로 말씀하신 바 내가 입을 열어 비유로 말하고 창세부터 감추인 것들을 드러내리라 함을 이루려 하심이니라

36 이에 예수께서 무리를 떠나사 집에 들어가시니 제자들이 나아와 가로되 `밭의 가라지의 비유를 우리에게 설명하여 주소서'

37 대답하여 가라사대 좋은 씨를 뿌리는 이는 인자요

38 밭은 세상이요 좋은 씨는 천국의 아들들이요 가라지는 악한 자의 아들들이요

39 가라지를 심은 원수는 마귀요 추수 때는 세상 끝이요 추숫군은 천사들이니

40 그런즉 가라지를 거두어 불에 사르는 것같이 세상 끝에도 그러하리라

41 인자가 그 천사들을 보내리니 저희가 그 나라에서 모든 넘어지게 하는 것과 또 불법을 행하는 자들을 거두어 내어

42 풀무불에 던져 넣으리니 거기서 울며 이를 갊이 있으리라

43 그 때에 의인들은 자기 아버지 나라에서 해와 같이 빛나리라 귀 있는 자는 들으라

44 천국은 마치 밭에 감추인 보화와 같으니 사람이 이를 발견한 후 숨겨두고 기뻐하여 돌아가서 자기의 소유를 다 팔아 그 밭을 샀느니라

45 또 천국은 마치 좋은 진주를 구하는 장사와 같으니

46 극히 값진 진주 하나를 만나매 가서 자기의 소유를 다 팔아 그 진주를 샀느니라

47 또 천국은 마치 바다에 치고 각종 물고기를 모는 그물과 같으니

48 그물에 가득하매 물 가로 끌어 내고 앉아서 좋은 것은 그릇에 담고 못된 것은 내어 버리느니라

49 세상 끝에도 이러하리라 천사들이 와서 의인 중에서 악인을 갈라내어

50 풀무불에 던져 넣으리니 거기서 울며 이를 갊이 있으리라

51 이 모든 것을 깨달았느냐 ? 하시니 대답하되 `그러하오이다'

52 예수께서 가라사대 그러므로 천국의 제자된 서기관마다 마치 새 것과 옛 것을 그 곳간에서 내어 오는 집 주인과 같으니라

53 예수께서 이 모든 비유를 마치신 후에 거기를 떠나서

54 고향으로 돌아가사 저희 회당에서 가르치시니 저희가 놀라 가로되 `이 사람의 이 지혜와 이런 능력이 어디서 났느뇨 ?

55 이는 그 목수의 아들이 아니냐 그 모친은 마리아, 그 형제들은 야고보, 요셉, 시몬, 유다라 하지 않느냐 ?

56 그 누이들은 다 우리와 함께 있지 아니하냐 ? 그런즉 이 사람의 이 모든 것이 어디서 났느뇨' 하고

57 예수를 배척한지라 예수께서 저희에게 말씀하시되 선지자가 자기 고향과 자기 집 외에서는 존경을 받지 않음이 없느니라 하시고

58 저희의 믿지 않음을 인하여 거기서 많은 능력을 행치 아니하시니라

1 On that day Jesus went out of the house and was seated by the seaside.

2 And great numbers of people came together to him, so that he got into a boat; and the people took up their position by the sea.

3 And he gave them teaching in the form of a story, saying, A man went out to put seed in the earth;

4 And while he did so, some seeds were dropped by the wayside, and the birds came and took them for food:

5 And some of the seed went among the stones, where it had not much earth, and straight away it came up because the earth was not deep:

6 And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root it became dry and dead.

7 And some seeds went among thorns, and the thorns came up and they had no room for growth:

8 And some, falling on good earth, gave fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, some thirty times as much.

9 He who has ears, let him give ear.

10 And the disciples came and said to him, Why do you say things to them in the form of stories?

11 And he said to them in answer, To you is given the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

12 Because whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have more; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

13 For this reason I put things into the form of stories; because they see without seeing, and give ear without hearing, and the sense is not clear to them.

14 And for them the words of Isaiah have come true, Though you give ear, you will not get knowledge; and seeing, you will see, but the sense will not be clear to you:

15 For the heart of this people has become fat and their ears are slow in hearing and their eyes are shut; for fear that they might see with their eyes and give hearing with their ears and become wise in their hearts and be turned again to me, so that I might make them well.

16 But a blessing be on your eyes, because they see; and on your ears, because they are open.

17 For truly, I say to you that prophets and upright men had a desire to see the things which you see, and saw them not; and to have knowledge of the words which have come to your ears, and they had it not.

18 Give ear, then, to the story of the man who put the seed in the earth.

19 When the word of the kingdom comes to anyone, and the sense of it is not clear to him, then the Evil One comes, and quickly takes away that which was put in his heart. He is the seed dropped by the wayside.

20 And that which went on the stones, this is he who, hearing the word, straight away takes it with joy;

21 But having no root in himself, he goes on for a time; and when trouble comes or pain, because of the word, he quickly becomes full of doubts.

22 And that which was dropped among the thorns, this is he who has the word; and the cares of this life, and the deceits of wealth, put a stop to the growth of the word and it gives no fruit.

23 And the seed which was put in good earth, this is he who gives ear to the word, and gets the sense of it; who gives fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, some thirty times as much.

24 And he gave them another story, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who put good seed in his field:

25 But while men were sleeping, one who had hate for him came and put evil seeds among the grain, and went away.

26 But when the green stem came up and gave fruit, the evil plants were seen at the same time.

27 And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, Sir, did you not put good seed in your field? how then has it evil plants?

28 And he said, Someone has done this in hate. And the servants say to him, Is it your pleasure that we go and take them up?

29 But he says, No, for fear that by chance while you take up the evil plants, you may be rooting up the grain with them.

30 Let them come up together till the getting in of the grain; and then I will say to the workers, Take up first the evil plants, and put them together for burning: but put the grain into my store-house.

31 He put another story before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his field:

32 Which is smaller than all seeds; but when it has come up it is greater than the plants, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and make their resting-places in its branches.

33 Another story he gave to them: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and put in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.

34 All these things Jesus said to the people in the form of stories; and without a story he said nothing to them:

35 That it might come true which was said by the prophet, Opening my mouth, I will give out stories; I will give knowledge of things kept secret from before all time.

36 Then he went away from the people, and went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Make clear to us the story of the evil plants in the field.

37 And he made answer and said, He who puts the good seed in the earth is the Son of man;

38 And the field is the world; and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom; and the evil seeds are the sons of the Evil One;

39 And he who put them in the earth is Satan; and the getting in of the grain is the end of the world; and those who get it in are the angels.

40 As then the evil plants are got together and burned with fire, so will it be in the end of the world.

41 The Son of man will send out his angels, and they will take out of his kingdom everything which is a cause of error, and all those who do wrong,

42 And will put them into the fire; there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

43 Then will the upright be shining as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him give ear.

44 The kingdom of heaven is like a secret store of wealth in a field, which a man came across and put back again; and in his joy he goes and gives all he has, to get that field.

45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a trader searching for beautiful jewels.

46 And having come across one jewel of great price, he went and gave all he had in exchange for it.

47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, which was put into the sea and took in every sort of fish:

48 When it was full, they took it up on the sands; and seated there they put the good into vessels, but the bad they put away.

49 So will it be in the end of the world: the angels will come and take out the bad from the good,

50 And will put them into the fire: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

51 Are all these things now clear to you? They say to him, Yes.

52 And he said to them, For this reason every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house, who gives out from his store things new and old.

53 And when Jesus had come to the end of these stories he went away from there.

54 And coming into his country, he gave them teaching in their Synagogue, so that they were greatly surprised and said, Where did this man get this wisdom and these works of power?

55 Is not this the woodworker's son? is not his mother named Mary? and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? from where, then, has he all these things?

57 And they were bitter against him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is nowhere without honour but in his country and among his family.

58 And the works of power which he did there were small in number because they had no faith.
