2	Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.	And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat down. And the whole crowd stood on the beach.	And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.	Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore.	A large crowd soon gathered around him, so he got into a boat.

3	And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.	And he told them many things in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow.	And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;	Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed.	He told many stories in the form of parables, such as this one: “Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seeds.
4	And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.	And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.	And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:	As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.	As he scattered them across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate them.
5	Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.	Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil,	Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:	Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.	Other seeds fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seeds sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow.
6	But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.	but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away.	And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.	But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.	But the plants soon wilted under the hot sun, and since they didn’t have deep roots, they died.
7	Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.	Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.	And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:	Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.

8	Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.	Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.	But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.	Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.	Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted!
9	He who has ears, let him hear.”	He who has ears, let him hear.”	Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.	Whoever has ears, let them hear.”	Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”
10	Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”	Then the disciples came and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”	And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?	The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”	His disciples came and asked him, “Why do you use parables when you talk to the people?”
11	He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.	And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.	He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.	He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.	He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not.
12	Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.	For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.	For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.	Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.	To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.
13	This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’	This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.	Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.	This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.	That is why I use these parables, For they look, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really listen or understand.
14	In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.	Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says: “‘“You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive.”	And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:	In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: “’You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.	This fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah that says, ‘When you hear what I say, you will not understand. When you see what I do, you will not comprehend.
15	For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’	For this people’s heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’	For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.	For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’	For the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes— so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them.’
16	But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.	But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.	But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.	But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.	“But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.
17	For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.	For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.	For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.	For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.	I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, but they didn’t see it. And they longed to hear what you hear, but they didn’t hear it.
18	Consider, then, the parable of the sower:	“Hear then the parable of the sower:	Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.	“Listen then to what the parable of the sower means:	“Now listen to the explanation of the parable about the farmer planting seeds:
19	When anyone hears the message of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.	When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path.	When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.	When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path.	The seed that fell on the footpath represents those who hear the message about the Kingdom and don’t understand it. Then the evil one comes and snatches away the seed that was planted in their hearts.
20	The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.	As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,	But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;	The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.	The seed on the rocky soil represents those who hear the message and immediately receive it with joy.
21	But since he has no root, he remains for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.	yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.	Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.	But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.	But since they don’t have deep roots, they don’t last long. They fall away as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing God’s word.
22	The seed sown among the thorns is the one who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.	As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.	He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.	The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful.	The seed that fell among the thorns represents those who hear God’s word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life and the lure of wealth, so no fruit is produced.
23	But the seed sown on good soil is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and produces a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.”	As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”	But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.	But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”	The seed that fell on good soil represents those who truly hear and understand God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!”
24	Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.	He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field,	Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:	Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.	Here is another story Jesus told: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field.
25	But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.	but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.	But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.	But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.	But that night as the workers slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat, then slipped away.
26	When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.	So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also.	But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.	When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.	When the crop began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew.
27	The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’	And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’	So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?	“The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’	“The farmer’s workers went to him and said, ‘Sir, the field where you planted that good seed is full of weeds! Where did they come from?’
28	‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’	He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’	He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?	“’An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’	“‘An enemy has done this!’ the farmer exclaimed. “‘Should we pull out the weeds?’ they asked.
29	‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.	But he said, ‘No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them.	But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.	“’No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them.	“‘No,’ he replied, ‘you’ll uproot the wheat if you do.
30	Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat into my barn.’”	Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”	Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.	Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”	Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the weeds, tie them into bundles, and burn them, and to put the wheat in the barn.’”
31	He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.	He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.	Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:	He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.	Here is another illustration Jesus used: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed planted in a field.
32	Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”	It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”	Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.	Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”	It is the smallest of all seeds, but it becomes the largest of garden plants; it grows into a tree, and birds come and make nests in its branches.”
33	He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”	He told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.”	Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.	He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough.”	Jesus also used this illustration: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.”
34	Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.	All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed, he said nothing to them without a parable.	All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:	Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.	Jesus always used stories and illustrations like these when speaking to the crowds. In fact, he never spoke to them without using such parables.
35	So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: “I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.”	This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet: “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.”	That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.	So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: “I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”	This fulfilled what God had spoken through the prophet: “I will speak to you in parables. I will explain things hidden since the creation of the world.”
36	Then Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”	Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.”	Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.	Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”	Then, leaving the crowds outside, Jesus went into the house. His disciples said, “Please explain to us the story of the weeds in the field.”
37	He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.	He answered, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.	He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;	He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.	Jesus replied, “The Son of Man is the farmer who plants the good seed.
38	The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,	The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,	The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;	The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one,	The field is the world, and the good seed represents the people of the Kingdom. The weeds are the people who belong to the evil one.
39	and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.	and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.	The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.	and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.	The enemy who planted the weeds among the wheat is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world, and the harvesters are the angels.
40	As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age.	Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age.	As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.	“As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.	“Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world.
41	The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His kingdom every cause of sin and all who practice lawlessness.	The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers,	The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;	The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.	The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will remove from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.
42	And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.	and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.	And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.	They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.	And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43	Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.	Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.	Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.	Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.	Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!
44	The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and in his joy he went and sold all he had and bought that field.	“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.	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.	“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.	“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field.
45	Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.	“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls,	Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:	“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls.	“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant on the lookout for choice pearls.
46	When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.	who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.	Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.	When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.	When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!
47	Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.	“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind.	Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:	“Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish.	“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a fishing net that was thrown into the water and caught fish of every kind.
48	When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away.	When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad.	Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.	When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away.	When the net was full, they dragged it up onto the shore, sat down, and sorted the good fish into crates, but threw the bad ones away.
49	So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous	So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous	So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,	This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous	That is the way it will be at the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked people from the righteous,
50	and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.	and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.	And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.	and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.	throwing the wicked into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51	Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.	“Have you understood all these things?” They said to him, “Yes.”	Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.	“Have you understood all these things?” Jesus asked. “Yes,” they replied.	Do you understand all these things?” “Yes,” they said, “we do.”
52	Then He told them, “For this reason, every scribe who has been discipled in the kingdom of heaven is like a homeowner who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”	And he said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.”	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.	He said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”	Then he added, “Every teacher of religious law who becomes a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a homeowner who brings from his storeroom new gems of truth as well as old.”
53	When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.	And when Jesus had finished these parables, he went away from there,	And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.	When Jesus had finished these parables, he moved on from there.	When Jesus had finished telling these stories and illustrations, he left that part of the country.
54	Coming to His hometown, He taught the people in their synagogue, and they were astonished. “Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers?” they asked.	and coming to his hometown he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?	And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?	Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked.	He returned to Nazareth, his hometown. When he taught there in the synagogue, everyone was amazed and said, “Where does he get this wisdom and the power to do miracles?”
55	“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?	Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?	Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?	“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas?	Then they scoffed, “He’s just the carpenter’s son, and we know Mary, his mother, and his brothers—James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas.
56	Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”	And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?”	And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?	Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?”	All his sisters live right here among us. Where did he learn all these things?”
57	And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”	And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.”	And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.	And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.”	And they were deeply offended and refused to believe in him. Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his own family.”
58	And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.	And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.	And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.	And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.	And so he did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief.
