Gen Z Vibe

So on that same day, Jesus rolled out of the crib and kicked it by the beach, vibes immaculate.

Original Source

The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

2
Gen Z Vibe

A massive crowd showed up, so he hopped in a boat and took a seat; everyone else was just standing on the shore, no cap.

Original Source

And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

3
Gen Z Vibe

He dropped some knowledge on them in parables, saying, "Yo, check it out, a farmer went out to throw down some seeds."

Original Source

And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

4
Gen Z Vibe

Some seeds landed on the path, and birds swooped in to snatch them up, savage move.

Original Source

And when he sowed, some {seeds} fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

5
Gen Z Vibe

Others hit rocky ground, where there was barely any dirt, and they sprung up fast 'cause they had no roots, fr.

Original Source

Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

6
Gen Z Vibe

But when the sun came out, they got roasted; with no roots, they just dried up, periodt.

Original Source

And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

7
Gen Z Vibe

Some seeds landed amidst thorns, and the thorns shot up and choked them out, sus vibes.

Original Source

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

8
Gen Z Vibe

But the rest hit solid soil and produced mad fruit—some 100 times, some 60, some 30, goated.

Original Source

But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

9
Gen Z Vibe

If you got ears to hear, then listen up, fam.

Original Source

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

10
Gen Z Vibe

The disciples came up and asked him, "Why do you always drop knowledge through stories?"

Original Source

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

11
Gen Z Vibe

He replied, "Y'all are in on the secret sauce of heaven's vibes, but for them, it's a no-go."

Original Source

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

12
Gen Z Vibe

Whoever's got it, gets even more lit; but if you ain't got it, the little you have is taken away, no cap.

Original Source

For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

13
Gen Z Vibe

So I hit them with parables, 'cause they peep but don’t see, and they hear but don’t vibe, fr.

Original Source

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

14
Gen Z Vibe

This is where Esaias' prophecy kicks in: "You’ll hear but not understand, see but not really perceive."

Original Source

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

15
Gen Z Vibe

Their hearts are all crusty, ears are sus, and they’ve shut their eyes; if they just opened up, I could heal them, periodt.

Original Source

For this people's heart is waxed gross, and {their} ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with {their} eyes, and hear with {their} ears, and should understand with {their} heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

16
Gen Z Vibe

But your eyes are blessed, 'cause they see, and your ears are blessed, 'cause they hear, no doubt.

Original Source

But blessed {are} your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

17
Gen Z Vibe

For real, many prophets and solid peeps were hyped to see what you see and hear what you hear, but they missed it.

Original Source

For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous {men} have desired to see {those things} which ye see, and have not seen {them}; and to hear {those things} which ye hear, and have not heard {them}.

18
Gen Z Vibe

So pay attention to the sower's story, it's about to get real.

Original Source

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

19
Gen Z Vibe

When anyone hears the kingdom's word and doesn't understand it, the shady one comes and snatches what’s been planted in their heart; that's the one who got the seed on the path.

Original Source

When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth {it} not, then cometh the wicked {one}, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

20
Gen Z Vibe

But the one who received the seed in rocky spots hears the word and is all hyped about it right away.

Original Source

But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

21
Gen Z Vibe

But he lacks roots, so he vibes for a minute; when tough times come because of the word, he gets all sus and bounces.

Original Source

Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. {offended: he relapseth, or, falleth into sin}

22
Gen Z Vibe

The one who hears the word but is choked by life's drama and the grind for cash ends up being unfruitful, no cap.

Original Source

He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

23
Gen Z Vibe

But the dude who hears the word and actually gets it is the one who bears fruit, like, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Original Source

But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth {it}; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

24
Gen Z Vibe

He hit them with another parable, saying the kingdom of heaven is like a dude who sowed good seeds in his field, fr.

Original Source

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

25
Gen Z Vibe

But while the crew was snoozing, his enemy rolled through and tossed in some weeds, then jetted.

Original Source

But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

26
Gen Z Vibe

When the plants popped up and started to produce, the weeds showed up too, and it was a total mess.

Original Source

But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

27
Gen Z Vibe

So the homies working the field asked him, "Yo, didn’t you plant good seeds? Where’d all these weeds come from?"

Original Source

So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

28
Gen Z Vibe

He was like, "An enemy did this." The workers were like, "You want us to pull them out?"

Original Source

He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

29
Gen Z Vibe

But he was like, "Nah, if you yank the weeds, you might wreck the good stuff too."

Original Source

But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

30
Gen Z Vibe

Let them both grow until harvest; when it’s time, I’ll tell the reapers, "First, scoop up the weeds and burn them, then bring the wheat into my barn."

Original Source

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

31
Gen Z Vibe

Jesus said, "The kingdom of heaven is like a tiny mustard seed that a dude planted in his field, vibes.

Original Source

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:

32
Gen Z Vibe

For real, it’s the smallest seed, but when it grows, it’s the biggest herb and turns into a tree, so birds can chill in its branches. Lit.

Original Source

Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

33
Gen Z Vibe

He dropped another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven a woman hid in three measures of flour until it was all lit."

Original Source

Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. {measures: the word in the Greek is a measure containing about a peck and a half, wanting a little more than a pint}

34
Gen Z Vibe

Jesus was dropping all these parables to the crowd; no cap, he didn’t spill to them without a parable.

Original Source

All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:

35
Gen Z Vibe

This was to fulfill what the prophet said: "I’ll speak in parables and reveal secrets kept since the world began."

Original Source

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

36
Gen Z Vibe

Then Jesus sent the crowd away and went inside. His crew came to him, like, "Yo, explain the parable of the tares."

Original Source

Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

37
Gen Z Vibe

He was like, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man."

Original Source

He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

38
Gen Z Vibe

The field is the world; the good seeds are the kingdom's peeps, but the tares are the chillers with the wicked ones.

Original Source

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked {one};

39
Gen Z Vibe

The one who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers? They’re the angels.

Original Source

The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

40
Gen Z Vibe

Just like the tares get gathered and burned in fire, that's how it’s gonna go down at the end of this world, periodt.

Original Source

As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

41
Gen Z Vibe

The Son of Man is gonna send his angels to scoop up all the sus stuff and those who are just plain savage;

Original Source

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; {things...: or, scandals}

42
Gen Z Vibe

And they’re gonna throw 'em into a fire pit: it’s gonna be wailing and gnashing of teeth, no cap.

Original Source

And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43
Gen Z Vibe

Then the righteous will shine bright like the sun in their Father’s kingdom. If you got ears, listen up, fr.

Original Source

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

44
Gen Z Vibe

The kingdom of heaven is like a hidden treasure in a field; when a dude finds it, he’s so hyped that he sells everything to grab that field.

Original Source

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

45
Gen Z Vibe

The kingdom of heaven is also like a merchant on the hunt for dope pearls:

Original Source

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

46
Gen Z Vibe

When he finds a super valuable pearl, he sells all his stuff to buy it.

Original Source

Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

47
Gen Z Vibe

The kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea, catching all kinds of fish, vibes.

Original Source

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

48
Gen Z Vibe

When it’s full, they pull it to shore, chill for a sec, and keep the good ones but toss the bad ones.

Original Source

Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

49
Gen Z Vibe

That’s how it’s gonna go down at the end of the world: angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous, periodt.

Original Source

So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

50
Gen Z Vibe

And they’ll toss the wicked into the fire pit: it’s gonna be wailing and gnashing of teeth, no cap.

Original Source

And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

51
Gen Z Vibe

Jesus asked them, "Y'all vibing with this?" They replied, "Yea, Lord, we vibin'."

Original Source

Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

52
Gen Z Vibe

Then he said, "So every scribe schooled in the kingdom of heaven is like a dude with a treasure chest, pulling out the fresh and the classic."

Original Source

Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe {which is} instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man {that is} an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure {things} new and old.

53
Gen Z Vibe

And it happened that when Jesus wrapped up these stories, he bounced from there.

Original Source

And it came to pass, {that} when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

54
Gen Z Vibe

When he rolled back to his hometown, he was teaching in their synagogue, and they were shook, saying, "Where did this dude get all this wisdom and these dope moves?"

Original Source

And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this {man} this wisdom, and {these} mighty works?

55
Gen Z Vibe

"Ain't this the carpenter's kid? Isn’t his mom named Mary? And what about his bros, James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?"

Original Source

Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

56
Gen Z Vibe

"And what about his sisters? Aren't they all chilling with us? So how does this dude have all this?"

Original Source

And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this {man} all these things?

57
Gen Z Vibe

They were lowkey offended by him. But Jesus said, "A prophet ain't got no respect except in his own hood and crib."

Original Source

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

58
Gen Z Vibe

And he couldn’t do many lit things there 'cause they were all sus about him.

Original Source

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
