Matius 13:24

The Parable of the Weeds

13:24 He presented them with another parable: ¹  “The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field.

Matius 20:1

Workers in the Vineyard

20:1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner ²  who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

Matius 28:15

28:15 So they took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story is told among the Jews to this day. ³ 

[13:24]  ¹ tn Grk “He set before them another parable, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant and has not been translated.

[20:1]  ² sn The term landowner here refers to the owner and manager of a household.

[28:15]  ³ tc ‡ The word ἡμέρας (Jhmeras, “day”) is found after σήμερον (shmeron, “today, this [day]”) in some early and important witnesses (B D L Θ lat), but may be a clarifying (or perhaps redundant) note. The shorter reading (found in א A W 0148^vid Ë^1,13 33 Ï) is thus preferred. NA²⁷ includes the word in brackets, indicating reservations about its authenticity.
