Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Matthew
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Matthew
013:038 the field is the world; the good seed--these are the sons
of the Kingdom; the darnel, the sons of the Evil one.
013:039 The enemy who sows the darnel is *the Devil*; the harvest
is the Close of the Age; the reapers are the angels.
013:040 As then the darnel is collected together and burnt up with fire,
so will it be at the Close of the Age.
013:041 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;
013:042 and these they will throw into the fiery furnace.
There will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.
013:043 Then will the righteous shine out like the sun in their
Father's Kingdom. Listen, every one who has ears!
013:044 "The Kingdom of the Heavens is like treasure buried in
the open country, which a man finds, but buries again, and,
in his joy about it, goes and sells all he has and buys
that piece of ground.
013:045 "Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a jewel merchant
who is in quest of choice pearls.
013:046 He finds one most costly pearl; he goes away; and though it
costs all he has, he buys it.
013:047 "Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a draw-net let
down into the sea, which encloses fish of all sorts.
013:048 When full, they haul it up on the beach, and sit down and collect
the good fish in baskets, while the worthless they throw away.
013:049 So will it be at the Close of the Age. The angels will go
forth and separate the wicked from among the righteous,
013:050 and will throw them into the fiery furnace. There will be
the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth."
013:051 "Have you understood all this?" He asked. "Yes," they said.
013:052 "Therefore," He said, "remember that every Scribe well trained
for the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a householder who brings
out of his storehouse new things and old."
013:053 Jesus concluded this series of parables and then departed.
013:054 And He came into His own country and proceeded to teach in
their synagogue, so that they were filled with astonishment
and exclaimed, "Where did he obtain such wisdom,
and these wondrous powers?
013:055 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary?
And are not his brothers, James, Joseph, Simon and Judah?
013:056 And his sisters--are they not all living here among us?
Where then did he get all this?"
013:057 So they turned angrily away from Him. But Jesus said to them,
"There is no prophet left without honour except in his own
country and among his own family."
013:058 And He performed but few mighty deeds there because of their
want of faith.
014:001 About that time Herod the Tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
