[osis-core] Matthew 13 problems:

Fri, 31 May 2002 17:48:47 -0400

General note: Send the version of the bible you are using when you refer 
to passages as problems. My NRSV does not show many of the problem 
passages. Thanks!

Note: You can still use milestones to achieve what we had named 
milestones for in the earlier version. I will do a sample of that method 
using Todd's text, probably tomorrow.

Todd,

Thanks for the list of problem cases! I have listed them below with a 
proposed solution (to the problem I see, please let me know if I am just 
missing it):

Paragraphs with verses not fully contained.
Paragraph 13.1-13.3 (partial)

Omitting all the attributes:

<verse verseID="Matt.13.1">That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.</verse>
<verse verseID="Matt.13.2">Such great crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat there, while the whole crowd stood on the beach.</verse>
<verse verseID="Matt.13.3a" next="Matt.13.3b">And he told them many things in parables, saying:</verse>


<blockQuote>
<verse verseID="Matt.13.3b" prev="Matt.13.3a">Listen! A sower went out to sow.</verse>
<verse verseID="Matt.13.4">And as he sowed, some seeds fell on the path, and the birds came and ate them up.</verse>
<verse verseID="Matt.13.5">Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and they sprang up quickly, since they had no depth of soil.</verse>
<verse verseID="Matt.13.6">But when the sun rose, they were scorched; and since they had no root, they withered away.</verse>
<verse verseID="Matt.13.7">Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.</verse>
<verse verseID="Matt.13.8">Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.</verse>
<verse verseID="Matt.13.9">Let anyone with ears listen!</verse>

Paragraph 13.3(partial)-13.8 (see above)

Paragraph 13.11-13.14 (partial)

Begin at 13:10 to get the whole paragraph:

<verse verseID="Matt.13.10">Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked him, <q>Why do you use parables when you talk to the people?</q></verse>
<verse verseID="Matt.13.11a" next="Matt.13.11b>Jesus answered,</verse>
<blockQuote>
<verse verseID="Matt.13.11b">The knowledge about the secrets of the Kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.</verse>
<verse verseID="Matt.13.12">For the person who has something will be given more, so that he will have more than enough; but the person who has nothing will have taken away from him even the little he has.</verse>
<verse verseID="Matt.13.13">The reason I use parables in talking to them is that <q>they look, but do not see, and they listen, but do not hear or understand.</q></verse>
<verse verseID="Matt.13.14a" next="Matt.13.14b">So the prophecy of Isaiah applies to them:<q ID="Matt.13.15q1" next="Matt.13.15q2"> 
<seg type="line">This people will listen and listen, but not understand;</seg>
<seg type="line">they will look and look, but not see,</seg></q></verse>
<verse verseID="Matt.13.15"><q ID="Matt.13.15q2" prev="Matt.13.15q1">
<seg type="line">because their minds are dull,</seg>
<seg>and they have stopped up their ears</seg>
<seg>and have closed their eyes.</seg>
<seg>Otherwise, their eyes would see,</seg>
<seg>their ears would hear,</seg>
<seg>their minds would understand,</seg>
<seg>and they would turn to me, says God,</seg>
<seg>and I would heal them.</seg></q>
<verse verseID="Matt.13.16">As for you, how fortunate you are! Your eyes see and your ears hear.</verse>
<verse verseID="Matt.13.17">I assure you that many prophets and many of God's people wanted very much to see what you see, but they could not, and to hear what you hear, but they did not.</verse>
