Matthew Chapter 13: (Introduction to the Gospels, Coding Reference)
1╓Moreover within╖ ┌Within┐ that, the day, the Jesus, having gone-forth, ╓from╖ the house, was-seated beside the sea. 2And large crowds were gathered towards him, therefore {in-accordance-with} him having embarked into the fishing-boat to be-seated and all the crowd had stood onto the beach. 3He spoke to them {the-ones} many within analogies saying,
Lo! The-one, sowing of the-onea, went-forth to sow. 4And within the-one to sow it which indeed {some} fell beside the way, and the-ones winged ╓came╖ ┌having come┐, and they devoured it. 5Moreover {the-ones} other fell onto the-one stony, where it did not have a much land, and immediately it sprang-up-forth because-of the-one not to have depth of a land, 6moreover {upon} a sun having risen, it was scorched, because-of the-one not to have root, it was withered. 7Moreover {the-ones} other fell onto the thornbushes, and the thornbushes ascended, and they stifled it. 8Moreover {the-ones} other fell onto the land, the-one excellent, and it was giving-freely a fruit indeed {some} which {was} one-hundred, moreover {some} which {was} sixty, moreover {some} which {was} thirty. 9Having ears ╓to hear╖, let the-one hear!
10And the adherents, coming-forward, said to him, Wherefore are you speaking to them within analogies?
11Moreover the one, having replied, said to them, Because to you it is has been given-freely to have known-experientially the secret-rites of the dominion of the universes, moreover to those it is has not been given-freely. 12For whosoever has, he will be given-freely it, and he will be abounding; moreover whosoever has not, which he has will be lifted-up from him. 13For-this-reason I speak to them within analogies because they, seeing, are not seeing, and they, hearing, are not hearing, nor are they comprehending-thoroughly. 14And the prophecy of an Isaiah is being accomplish with them, the-one saying, With hearingb you will hear, and by-no-means might you comprehend-thoroughly; seeing you will see, and by-no-means might you observe. 15For the heart of this, the people, was dulled, and they heard recondite with the ears, and they shut the eyes of them; lest-perchance they might observe with the eyes, and they might hear with the ears, and they might comprehend-thoroughly with the heart, and they might return, and I will heal them; 16moreover happy the eyes of you because they are seeing and the ears of you because ╓it is hearing╖ ┌they are hearing┐.
17For truly I say to you, That many prophets and {the-ones} righteous yearned to have observed which you see, and they did not observe; and to have heard which you hear and they did not hear.
18Then you! hear you the analogy of the-one sowing:
19{Concerning the-one} all hearing the word of the dominion and not comprehending-thoroughly the-one base comes, and he snatches the-one having had been sown within the heart of him, this-one is the-one having been sown beside the way.
20Moreover the-one, having had been sown onto the-one stony, this-one is the-one, hearing the word, and he immediately receives it with joy, 21moreover he does not have root within himself, but he is temporary, moreover {upon} an affliction or a harassment becoming because-of the word, immediately he is being stumbled.
22Moreover the-one having been sown into the thornbushes this-one is the-one hearing the word, not-only the solicitude of ╓this,╖ the eon but-also the beguiling of wealth press-closely the word, and he fruitless becomes.
23Moreover the-one, having been sown upon the land, the-one excellent, this-one is the-one hearing the word and comprehending-thoroughly who in-fact is bearing-fruit, and indeed the-one, one-hundred is making, and moreover the-one sixty {is making}, and moreover the-one moreover thirty {is making}.
24He placed-beside them an other analogy saying, The dominion of the universes was resembled a person sowing an excellent seed within the field of him; 25moreover within the-one to lie-asleep the humanity the-one hatred of him came, and he ╓sowed╖ ┌sowed-among┐ spurious wheat throughout-amongc the graind, and he went-forth. 26Moreover when the grassd germinated, and it made a fruit; at-that-time it also was appeared the spurious-wheat.
27Moreover the slaves of the master of the home, having coming-forward, said, Sir, did you NOT sow an excellent seed within the field possessed-by-you, whence then does it have {the} spurious wheat?
28Moreover the-one was asserting to them, A hatred person did this.
Moreover the slaves ╓said╖ ┌say┐ to him, Then do you desire we, going-forth, collect them?
29Moreover the-one ╓was asserting╖ ┌asserts┐, No! Lest-perchance you, collecting the spurious-wheat, might root-out the graind at-the-same-time with them.30Dismiss you, both {are} to be growing-together ╓even-to╖ ┌until┐ the harvest within the seasone of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Collect you the spurious-wheat, and bind you it into bundles towards the-one to have burned-completely them, moreover gather you the grain into the storehouse of me.
31He placed beside them an other analogy saying, The dominion of universes is similar-to a kernel of mustardf which a person having taken sowed within the field of him. 32Which is indeed smaller than all the seeds, moreover whenever it might be grown, it is greater than the vegetables, and it becomes a tree, therefore to have come the-ones winged of the universe and to roost within the branches of it.
33He spoke to them an other analogy saying, The dominion of universes is similar-to yeast which a woman taking ╓hid╖ ┌intermixed┐ within three satong of wheat-meal until which {the-one} whole was leavened.
34The Jesus spoke all these within analogies to the crowds, and otherwise-than analogies he did not speak to them. 35To-the-end-that the-one might be fulfilled having been said through the prophet saying, I will open the mouth of me within analogies; I will roar {those} having had been hidden from a founding of the world-order.
36At-that-time ╓the Jesus╖ ┌he┐, having dismissed the crowds, went into the house; and the adherents of him came-forward to him saying, ╓Explain you╖ ┌Make-quite-clear you┐ to us the analogy of the spurious-wheat of the field.
37Moreover the-one, having replied, said to them, The-one sowing the excellent seed is the son of the humanity; 38morever the field is the world-order; moreover the excellent seed these are the sons of the dominion; moreover the spurious-wheat {these} are the sons of the-one base; 39moreover the-one hatred, the-one having sown them [spurious-wheat] is the-one slanderous; moreover the harvest is the consummation of the eon; moreover the reapers are universal-messengers.
40Then even-as the spurious-wheat is collected, and it is being ╒burned-completely╕ ╥kindled╥ {within} a fire; thus it will be within the consummation of ╓this,╖ the eon. 41The son of the humanity will send-authoritatively the universal-messengers of him, and they will collect out-of the dominion of him all the stumbling-blocks and the-ones doing lawlessness; 42and they will cast them into the furnace of the fire; there the wailing and the gnashing of teeth will be. 43At-that-time the-ones righteous will beam-forth as the sun within the dominion of the father of them. Having ears ╓to hear╖, let the-one hear!
╓44Again the╖ ┌44The┐ dominion of universes is similar to a treasure having had been hidden within a field, which a person, having found, hid, and from the joy of him he departs, and ╓he trades╖ {the ones} all as much as he has, and he buys that, the field.
45Again the dominion of universes is similar to is a person, a merchant, seeking excellent pearls, ╓46who╖ ┌46He┐, having found one very-costly pearl, having gone-forth, has sold{the ones} all as much as he was having, and he bought it.
47Again the dominion of universes is similar-to a large-drag-net having been cast into the sea and having gathered all type-of-sea-creaturesh, 48which having been dragged-up upon the beach when it was satiated i, and they, having sat-down, collect the-ones excellent into ╓containers╖ ┌buckets┐, moreover the-ones poor quality they cast outside; 49thus it will be within the consummation of the eon, the universal-messengers will go-forth, and they will separate the-ones base out-of the middle of the-ones righteous. 50and they will cast them into the furnace of the fire; there the wailing and the gnashing of teeth will be.
╓51The Jesus says to them, Are╖ ┌51Are┐ you comprehending thoroughly all these?
They say to him, Certainly! Sir!
52The-one said to them, For-this-reason all a scribe, having been instructed ╓into╖ ┌with┐ the dominion of the universes, is similar-to a person, a master-of-the-home, whosoever casts-forth {the-ones} new and {the-ones} old out-of the treasure of him.
53And it became when the Jesus completed these, the analogies, he shifted thence 54and he, having come into the homeland of him, taught them within the sacred-assembly of them, therefore {it was} to be astounding them and {they} to say, Wherefore to this-one! This, the wisdom, and the powers, 55is this-one not the son of the craftsman, is NOT the mother of him calledi a Mariam and the brothers of him: a James and a Joses and a Simon and a Judas; 56and are NOT all the sisters of him towards us, then whence to this-one {are} all these? 57And they were stumbling within him.
Moreover the Jesus said to them, A prophet is not dishonored except within the homeland of him and the house of him. 58And he did not do there many powers because-of the lacking-complete-confidence-and-total-trust of them.

aThe Greek is the masculine/neuter genitive case of the article/demonstrative pronoun with no other word, thus I have rendered of the one as being something possessed by another to be sown, i.e. the implied seed (word) which would be in the accusative case. Neither Greek word for seed or kernel is used in verses 3-9 nor in the interpretation in verses 19-23. This could be interpreted as Jesus, the one sowing, is scattering the seed, the word, of the one, the father.
bThe Greek is ἀκοή, akoē, meaning hearing, hearsay, act of hearing; normally I uses hearsay however contextually here the act of hearing is the action so the use of hearing.
cThe Greek is ἀνὰ μέσον, ana mesov, literally up middle, however ἀνὰ, ana may also be translated throughout which is the context and among would make more sense for middle thus my rendering of throughout-among.
dThe Greek is σίτος, sitos meaning human food grain such as wheat, barley corn in verses 25 and 29; however, in verse 26 when referring to the same seed the word for grass or pasture χόρτος, chortos, the animal food, is used. All of these are members of the grass family and thus as young plants look like common grasses. Spurious wheat is also known as darnel which resembles wheat but is worthless. Thus it is possible that there is a play on types of good wheat, edible by humans and animals, and worthless wheat, edible by animals only, being intermixed within the same field. See verses 37-40 for the explanation given within the gospel.
eThe Greek is καιρός, kairos, meaning due measure or when time inferred critical time, season, opportune time; thus contextually season as the time of harvest is the context.
fThe reference to mustard raises many questions as to what is it. It is definitely not the smallest seed of the vegetable seeds that I have planted, nor are any of the plants of this family or related to it known to grow into bushes so that birds can roost in them. Some of the mustards do form branch like leaf stems, but I never saw then strong enough for birds to roost on them. It is also interesting to note that the seed is sown, which would typical for the common mustard, and not planted as the Greek uses the word φυτεύω, phyteuō for planting vines, bushes and trees as would be expected if this was a bush. There are some who think that this may refer to bushes bearing seeds with a mustard-like favor or tang.
gThe saton is a unit if dry measure equal to 1.5 pecks or 12 quarts. Reference to this large of quantity of meal, approximately equivalent to 36 dry quarts or 41 lb of wheat flour without any reference to the quantity of yeast, is an exaggeration of what one would normally work with unless in a bakery with mechanical equipment. Having made bread one can work with about 1.0 to 1.5 pounds of flour, equivalent to 4 - 6 cups (1 - 1.5 dry quarts) of flour, intermixed with 1 ounce of yeast comfortably because the bulk will double in size during the fermentation process and is usually ended by baking for a usable product. How big would it get under ideal conditions if not stopped by baking, I do not know?
NOTE: Looking beyond the details the message appears to be about the dominion of the universes being very large, accommodating both good and worthless, and expanding as a result of small changes.
hThe Greek is γένος, genos meaning class, sort, kind, race, stock; and from context type-of-sea-creatures is implied to be gathered into the net.
iThe Greek is πληρόω, plēroō meaning make full, satiated, complete, fulfill; and from context satiated but not just partially but completely so that no more may be added.
jThe Greek is λέγω, legō, meaning to say but the context here is to name which is commonly stated to call.
