The Sermon by the Sea

1. And again He began to instruct by the sea. And a great crowd was gathered together before Him, so that He, having entered into the ship, sat on the sea, and all the crowd was on the land close to the sea. 2. And He instructed them many things in parables, and said to them within His teachings: 3. "Listen ye! Look, the Sower went out to sow, [Chanówkh 61:10-11] 4. And it came to pass as He sowed, one fell by the way, but it was trampled upon, [Luwqá’ 8:5] and the birds came and devoured it. 5. And another fell on the rocky place where it had not much earth, and it immediately sprang upwards due to not having depth of earth, 6. And when the luminary orb had arisen, it was scorched, and due to not having a root it shriveled away because it did not have moisture. [Luwqá’ 8:6] 7. And another fell among the thorns, but the thorns grew up and choked it, and it did not give fruit. 8. Yet another fell into the good earth and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing, and one bore thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred!" 9. And He said to them: "He who has ears to understand, let him heed it." 10. And when He was alone, those around Him together with the twelve asked Him about the parable. 11. And He said to them: "To recognize the secrets of the Kingdom of Yâ-hwéh has been granted to you, but to those who are outside, it has not been granted, for whosoever maintains the secrets, to him shall be given, and he shall be in abundance; but whosoever does not maintain them, even what he has shall be taken away from him! Due to this, to them all things are done in parables, [MattithYâ´huw 13:12] 12. in order that seeing they may see, yet not perceive, and hearing they hear, yet not make the mental association, [~For more detail here, see MattithYâ´huw 13:13-17] lest they might return and might be released for the same ones the ones being the errors."

The sower sows the Word

1. And He says to them: "Do you not understand this parable? So how will ye recognize all the parables?(5) 14. Now the parable means this: the Seed is the Word of Yâ-hwéh ["Yâhuwshúa" (Disclosure 19:13)]. [Luwqá’ 8:11] The Sower sows the Word [Yâhuwshúa` = Yâ-hwéh is deliverance/wealth]. [1 Këph 1:23] Therefore, understand ye the parable of the Sower: [MattithYâ´huw 13:18] 15. And these are those near The Way, where the Word is sown, and when they hear the Word of the Kingdom and does not make the mental association [~Yâhuwshúa is Yâ-hwéh] [MattithYâ´huw 13:19], the adversary immediately comes and takes away the Word that has been sown within their hearts [~heart = the Profession of Yâ-hwéh (1 Moshéh 49:8-12)], lest having believed, they should be saved. [Luwqá’ 8:12] 16. And similarly, are these: those who are sown upon the rocky places, who when they hear the Word, accept it immediately with joy, 17. But do not possess a root within themselves, instead are temporary, then when oppressions or persecution have arisen due to the Word, they are immediately caused to lose their trust, deserting it. [Luwqá’ 8:13] 18. And these are those who are sown among the thorns: these are they who hear the Word of Yâ-hwéh, [MattithYâ´huw 13:22] 19. But the distractions of this age and the lust for the delusion of Fortune (God) [MattithYâ´huw 13:22] and the desires for the other things, entering in choke the Word, so it becomes unfruitful. 20. But these are those who were sown upon the virtuous soil, those which hear the Word and makes the mental association [~Yâhuwshúa is Yâ-hwéh] [MattithYâ´huw 13:23], and accept it, firmly retain it in a virtuous and good heart [~the Profession of Yâ-hwéh (1 Moshéh 49:8-12)], and bring forth the Fruit by endurance: [Luwqá’ 8:15] one thirty, another sixty, another a hundred."

The Word should be displayed, not concealed

1. And He said to them: "Does the Lamp [Songs 119:105] come in order that it might be put under the bushel? Or under the couch? Doesn't It come in order that It may be put on the lampstand? 22. For the Word is not something they would have concealed, unless It should be shown! Nor has It become a secret thing, instead, the Word exists in order that It should come for display! 23. If anyone has ears to understand it, let him heed It."

Hold the Word (6) and dispense it out

1. And He said to them: "Beware what ye heed! By what measure ye mete the Word it shall be measured to you, and shall be added to you who heed it; 25. For whoever holds the Word, to him shall be given; but he who does not maintain the Word, even that which he seems to [Luwqá’ 8:18] have shall be taken from him!"

Announce the Word though It may not seem to bear fruit

1. And He said: "Thus is the Reign of Yâ-hwéh: as when a man might cast the Seed upon the earth, 27. Though he might sleep and rise night and day, yet he does not discern whether the Seed should sprout and be lengthened, 28. For the earth brings forth fruit of itself: first a blade, then a head, then full grain in the head. 29. But when the fruit is yielded, He immediately sends forth the gathering hook, because the harvest has come!"

The seeming insignificance of the Seed

1. And He said: "What does the Reign of Yâ-hwéh resemble or by what parable shall we compare it? 31. In the manner of a grain of mustard when it might be sown on the earth, which is less than all the seeds which are on the earth, 32. Yet when it has been sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all the herbs and produces such great branches, that the birds of the sky are able to take shelter under its shadow!" 33. And with many such parables He spoke of the Word to them, as they were able to understand, 34. but He did not speak to them without a parable, but He explained all things to His pupils privately.

On the Sea of Gâlíyl (MattithYâ´huw 8:23)

1. And He said to them during that day, when the afternoon was come: "Let's cross over unto the other side." 36. And having dismissed the crowd, they joined Him as He was on the ship, and other small ships were also with Him. 37. But a squall of great winds arose and the waves beat at the ship, such that it was now filled! 38. Yet He was at the stern, sleeping on the pillow. So they arouse Him and say to Him: "Instructor, doesn't it matter to You that we perish?" 39. And having been aroused, He admonished the wind, and said to the sea: "Hush, be restrained." And the wind abated and there was a great tranquility. 40. And He said to them: "Why are ye this afraid? How is it ye don't have belief?" 41. And they feared with great terror and said to one another: "Who then is this One, because even the wind and the sea obey Him?" [Songs 65:7, 89:8-9, 107:21-30]

(5) Recognizing the meaning of the parable, that the Seed of the Kingdom is the Living Word of Yâ-hwéh, Yâhuwshúa, is the key to understanding all parables, as well as scripture!
(6) The subject of what Yâhuwshúa is speaking since the parable of the Sower is the Word. Establishment translations lost sight of this subject long ago, thus their renditions of these astounding anti-traditionalist statements are empty and meaningless in their translations.
