G3588–ὁ–ho

"But as for you, blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.

οἱ hoi “the”τὰ ta “the”

"To you then I will explain the parable of the Sower.

τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “of the [one]”

When a man hears the Message concerning the Kingdom and does not understand it, the Evil one comes and catches away what has been sown in his heart. This is he who has received the seed by the road-side.

τὸν ton “the”τῆς tēs “of the”ὁ ho “the”τὸ to “that”τῇ tēa “the”ὁ ho “the [one]”τὴν tēn “the”

He who has received the seed on the rocky ground is the man who hears the Message and immediately receives it with joy.

ὁ ho “That which”τὰ ta “the”ὁ ho “the [one]”τὸν ton “the”

It has struck no root, however, within him. He continues for a time, but when suffering comes, or persecution, because of the Message, he at once stumbles and falls.

τὸν ton “the”

He who has received the seed among the thorns is the man who hears the Message, but the cares of the present age and the delusions of riches quite stifle the Message, and it becomes unfruitful.

ὁ ho “That which”τὰς tas “the”ὁ ho “the [one]”τὸν ton “the”ἡ hē “the”τοῦ tou “of the”ἡ hē “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὸν ton “the”

But he who has received the seed on good ground is he who hears and understands. Such hearers give a return, and yield one a hundred for one, another sixty, another thirty.")

ὁ ho “That”τὴν tēn “the”τὴν tēn “<the>”ὁ ho “the [one]”τὸν ton “the”

Another parable He put before them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "may be compared to a man who has sown good seed in his field,

ἡ hē “the”τῶν tōn “of the”τῷ tō “the”

but during the night his enemy comes, and over the first seed he sows darnel among the wheat, and goes away.

τῷ tō “the [time]”τοὺς tous “the”ὁ ho “<the>”τοῦ tou “of the”

But when the blade shoots up and the grain is formed, then appears the darnel also.

ὁ ho “the”τὰ ta “the”

"So the farmer's men come and ask him, "`Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed on your land? Where then does the darnel come from?'

οἱ hoi “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τῷ tō “<the>”τὰ ta “the”

"`Some enemy has done this,' he said. "`Shall we go, and collect it?' the men inquire.

ὁ ho “He”οἱ hoi “<the>”

"`No,' he replied, `for fear that while collecting the darnel you should at the same time root up the wheat with it.

ὁ ho “<the>”τὰ ta “the”τὸν ton “the”

Leave both to grow together until the harvest, and at harvest-time I will direct the reapers, Collect the darnel first, and make it up into bundles to burn it, but bring all the wheat into my barn.'"

τοῦ tou “the”τῷ tō “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τοῖς tois “to the”τὰ ta “the”τὸ to “<the>”τὸν ton “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”

Another parable He put before them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "is like a mustard-seed, which a man takes and sows in his ground.

ἡ hē “the”τῶν tōn “of the”τῷ tō “the”

It is the smallest of all seeds, and yet when full-grown it is larger than any herb and forms a tree, so that the birds come and build in its branches."

τῶν tōn “the”τῶν tōn “than the”τὰ ta “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τοῖς tois “the”

Another parable He spoke to them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, for it to work there till the whole mass has risen."

ἡ hē “the”τῶν tōn “of the”

All this Jesus spoke to the people in figurative language, and except in figurative language He spoke nothing to them,

ὁ ho “<the>”τοῖς tois “to the”

in fulfilment of the saying of the Prophet, "I will open my mouth in figurative language, I will utter things kept hidden since the creation of all things."

τὸ to “that”τοῦ tou “the”τὸ to “the”

When He had dismissed the people and had returned to the house, His disciples came to Him with the request, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel sown in the field."

τοὺς tous “the”τὴν tēn “the”ὁ ho “<the>”οἱ hoi “the”τὴν tēn “the”τῶν tōn “of the”τοῦ tou “of the”

"The sower of the good seed," He replied, "is the Son of Man;

Ὁ Ho “<the>”ὁ ho “The [One]”τὸ to “the”ὁ ho “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

the field is the world; the good seed--these are the sons of the Kingdom; the darnel, the sons of the Evil one.

ὁ ho “<the>”ὁ ho “the”τὸ to “<the>”οἱ hoi “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τὰ ta “<the>”οἱ hoi “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

The enemy who sows the darnel is *the Devil*; the harvest is the Close of the Age; the reapers are the angels.

ὁ ho “<the>”ὁ ho “which”ὁ ho “the”ὁ ho “<the>”τοῦ tou “of the”οἱ hoi “<the>”

As then the darnel is collected together and burnt up with fire, so will it be at the Close of the Age.

τὰ ta “the”τῇ tēa “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

The Son of Man will commission His angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all causes of sin and all who violate His laws;

ὁ ho “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τοὺς tous “the”τῆς tēs “the”τὰ ta “the”τοὺς tous “those”τὴν tēn “<the>”
