OET (OET-LV) And the apprentices/followers having_approached said to_him:

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:1–17: Jesus told the parable about the man who sowed seeds

In this section, Jesus told the first of eightSome commentators do not consider 13:51–52 a parable, so they count seven parables in this chapter. parables about the kingdom of heaven. These parables helped the disciples understand the kingdom of heaven. They also helped the disciples understand why some people did not accept Jesus’ message.

The first parable is about a farmer who sows seed in different kinds of soil. The different kinds of soil represent different kinds of people and how they accept God’s Word. In 13:18 Jesus referred to this parable as “the parable of the sower.”

After Jesus told this parable, he explained why he told parables (13:10–17).

Some other examples for a heading for this section are:

A story about a farmer planting seed

The parable about the four kinds of soil

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 4:1–12 and Luke 8:4–10.

Paragraph 13:10–17

Jesus began a new topic here. He explained why he used parables. Some English versions begin a new section here. If you want to do that, here are some possible section headings:

Jesus explained the reason he taught using parables

The Purpose of the Parables (NRSV)

13:10a

Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked,

Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked: Mark 4:10a tells us that Jesus was alone when the disciples came to him in private and asked him why he taught in parables. This indicates that 13:10–23 did not happen immediately after Jesus told the parable. It happened later, away from the crowds.

If people in your area will think that the disciples interrupted Jesus or asked this question in front of the crowd, you may want to:

came to Jesus and asked: This phrase shows that the disciples approached Jesus and started the discussion. They started the discussion by asking him a question.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

approached him and asked (JBP)

came to him with a question and asked

13:10b

“Why do You speak to the people in parables?”

Why do You speak to the people in parables?: This is a real question. It is not a rhetorical question or a rebuke. Translate this clause as a real question.

Here are some other ways to translate this question:

Why do you use parables when you talk to the people? (GNT)

Teacher/Lord, when you speak to the people, why do you use parables?

to the people: The phrase the people refers to the large crowds of people introduced in 13:2.

in parables: See how you translated this phrase in 13:3.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

εἶπαν αὐτῷ, διὰ τί ἐν παραβολαῖς λαλεῖς αὐτοῖς?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταί εἶπον αὐτῷ Διά τί ἐν παραβολαῖς λαλεῖς αὐτοῖς)

It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: [asked him for what reason he spoke to them in parables.]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

λαλεῖς

˱you˲_˓are˒_speaking

Here, the word you is singular since the disciples are speaking to Jesus.

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοῖς

˱to˲_them

The pronoun them refers to the “crowd” that was standing on the shore of the sea to listen to Jesus (see [13:2](../13/02.md)). If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: [to the crowd]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

13:10 From this point on, Jesus rarely taught the general public. Instead, he focused on teaching those who had committed themselves to him (13:1–20:34), though he would once again confront Israel (21:1–23:39).
• The people were the unbelieving opponents mentioned again in 13:11 (“others”) and 13:12 (“those who are not listening”).
