Matthew 13:44-53. ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν
θησαυρῷ κεκρυμμένῳ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, ὃν εὑρὼν ἄνθρωπος ἔκρυψεν, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς
χαρᾶς αὐτοῦ ὑπάγει καὶ πωλεῖ πάντα ὅσα ἔχει καὶ ἀγοράζει τὸν ἀγρὸν ἐκεῖνον.
πάλιν ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ ἐμπόρῳ ζητοῦντι καλοὺς
μαργαρίτας: εὑρὼν δὲ ἕνα πολύτιμον μαργαρίτην ἀπελθὼν πέπρακεν πάντα
ὅσα εἶχεν καὶ ἠγόρασεν αὐτόν. πάλιν ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν
σαγήνῃ βληθείσῃ εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ ἐκ παντὸς γένους συναγαγούσῃ: ἣν
ὅτε ἐπληρώθη ἀναβιβάσαντες ἐπὶ τὸν αἰγιαλὸν καὶ καθίσαντες συνέλεξαν
τὰ καλὰ εἰς ἄγγη, τὰ δὲ σαπρὰ ἔξω ἔβαλον. οὕτως ἔσται ἐν τῇ συντελείᾳ
τοῦ αἰῶνος: ἐξελεύσονται οἱ ἄγγελοι καὶ ἀφοριοῦσιν τοὺς πονηροὺς ἐκ μέσου
τῶν δικαίων καὶ βαλοῦσιν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν κάμινον τοῦ πυρός: ἐκεῖ ἔσται
ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων. συνήκατε ταῦτα πάντα; λέγουσιν
αὐτῷ, ναί. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, διὰ τοῦτο πᾶς γραμματεὺς μαθητευθεὶς τῇ
βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν ὅμοιός ἐστιν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδεσπότῃ ὅστις ἐκβάλλει
ἐκ τοῦ θησαυροῦ αὐτοῦ καινὰ καὶ παλαιά. καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐτέλεσεν ὁ ἰησοῦς
τὰς παραβολὰς ταύτας, μετῆρεν ἐκεῖθεν. |
Matthew 13:44-53. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure
hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy
thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Again,
the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that
he had, and bought it. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net,
that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it
was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into
vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world:
the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and
gnashing of teeth. Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these
things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. Then said he unto them, Therefore
every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto
a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure
things new and old. And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these
parables, he departed thence. |
