Καὶ ἔλεγεν τίνι ὁμοιώσωμεν τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ ἢ ἐν ποὶα παραβολῇ παραβάλωμεν αὐτὴν
And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
Ἄλλην παραβολὴν παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς λέγων Ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν κόκκῳ σινάπεως ὃν λαβὼν ἄνθρωπος ἔσπειρεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ αὐτοῦ·
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
οὐδὲ ἐροῦσιν Ἰδού ὧδε ἤ ἰδού Ἐκεῖ Ἰδού γὰρ ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ἐντὸς ὑμῶν ἐστιν
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Καὶ ἔλεγεν Οὕτως ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ὡς ἐάν ἄνθρωπος βάλῃ τὸν σπόρον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
Καὶ πάλιν εἶπεν Τίνι ὁμοιώσω τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ
And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
Ἄλλην παραβολὴν παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς λέγων Ὡμοιώθη ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ σπείροντι καλὸν σπέρμα ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ αὐτοῦ
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Κύριος Τίνι οὖν ὁμοιώσω τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης καὶ τίνι εἰσὶν ὅμοιοι
And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
מָֽה-אֲעִידֵךְ מָה אֲדַמֶּה-לָּךְ הַבַּת יְרוּשָׁלִַם מָה אַשְׁוֶה-לָּךְ וַאֲנַֽחֲמֵךְ בְּתוּלַת בַּת-צִיּוֹן כִּֽי-גָדוֹל כַּיָּם שִׁבְרֵךְ מִי יִרְפָּא-לָֽךְ׃
What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?
