G3588–ὁ–ho

No oil did you pour even on my head; but she has poured perfume upon my feet.

τὴν tēn “the”τοὺς tous “the”

This is the reason why I tell you that her sins, her many sins, are forgiven--because she has loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little."

αἱ hai “the”αἱ hai “<the>”

And He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."

αἱ hai “<the>”

Then the other guests began to say to themselves, "Who can this man be who even forgives sins?"

οἱ hoi “those”

But He said to the woman, "Your faith has cured you: go, and be at peace."

τὴν tēn “the”ἡ hē “The”

Shortly after this He visited town after town, and village after village, proclaiming His Message and telling the Good News of the Kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,

τῷ tō “<the>”τὴν tēn “of the”τοῦ tou “<the>”οἱ hoi “the”

and certain women whom He had delivered from evil spirits and various diseases--Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons had come,

ἡ hē “who”

and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many other women, all of whom contributed to the support of Jesus and His Apostles.

τῶν tōn “the”

And when a great crowd was assembling, and was receiving additions from one town after another, He spoke a parable to them.

τῶν tōn “those”

"The sower," He said, "goes out to sow his seed; and as he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and is trodden upon, or the birds of the air come and peck it up.

ὁ ho “the [one]”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὸν ton “the”τῷ tō “the”τὴν tēn “the”τὰ ta “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

Another part drops upon the rock, and after growing up it withers away for want of moisture.

τὴν tēn “the”τὸ to “<the>”

Another part falls among the thorns, and the thorns grow up with it and stifle it.

τῶν tōn “of the”αἱ hai “the”

But some of the seed falls into good ground, and grows up and yields a return of a hundred for one." While thus speaking, He cried aloud and said, "Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"

τὴν tēn “the”τὴν tēn “<the>”ὁ ho “The [one]”

The disciples proceeded to ask Him what this parable meant.

οἱ hoi “the”ἡ hē “the”

"To you," He replied, "it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God; but all others are taught by parables, in order that they may see and yet not see, and may hear and yet not understand.

ὁ ho “<the>”τὰ ta “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τοῖς tois “to the”

The meaning of the parable is as follows. The seed is God's Message.

ἡ hē “the”ὁ ho “The”ὁ ho “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

Those by the way-side are those who have heard, and then the Devil comes and carries away the Message from their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

οἱ hoi “Those”τὴν tēn “the”οἱ hoi “which [are]”ὁ ho “the”τὸν ton “the”τῆς tēs “the”

Those on the rock are the people who on hearing the Message receive it joyfully; but they have no root: for a time they believe, but when trial comes they fall away.

οἱ hoi “Those”τῆς tēs “the”τὸν ton “the”

That which fell among the thorns means those who have heard, but as they go on their way, the Message is stifled by the anxieties, wealth and gaieties of time, and they yield nothing in perfection.

τὸ to “That”τὰς tas “the”οἱ hoi “those”τοῦ tou “<the>”

But as for that in the good ground, it means those who, having listened to the Message with open minds and in a right spirit, hold it fast, and patiently yield a return.

τὸ to “That”τῇ tēa “the”τὸν ton “the”

"When any one lights a lamp, he does not cover it with a vessel or hide it under a couch; he puts it on a lampstand, that people who enter the room may see the light.

οἱ hoi “those”τὸ to “the”

Then came to Him His mother and His brothers, but could not get near Him for the crowd.

ἡ hē “the”οἱ hoi “the”τὸν ton “the”

But He was told, "Your mother and brothers are standing on the edge of the crowd, and want to see you."

ἡ hē “The”οἱ hoi “the”

"My mother and my brothers," He replied, "are these who hear God's Message and obey it."

ὁ ho “<the>”οἱ hoi “who”τὸν ton “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

One day He went on board a boat--both He and his disciples; and He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the Lake." So they set sail.
