Mark - Chapter: 4


4:1	And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
4:2	And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
4:3	Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
4:4	And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
4:5	And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
4:6	But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
4:7	And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
4:8	And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
4:9	And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
4:10	And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
4:11	And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
4:12	That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
4:13	And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
4:14	The sower soweth the word.
4:15	And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
4:16	And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
4:17	And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
4:18	And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
4:19	And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
4:20	And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
4:21	And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
4:22	For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
4:23	If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
4:24	And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
4:25	For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
4:26	And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
4:27	And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
4:28	For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
4:29	But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
4:30	And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
4:31	It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
4:32	But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
4:33	And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.
4:34	But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
4:35	And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
4:36	And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
4:37	And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
4:38	And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
4:39	And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
4:40	And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
4:41	And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?


4:1	And again He began to teach by the sea side. And a large crowd was gathered to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat in it on the sea. Then the entire crowd was by the sea on the land.
4:2	Then He taught them many things by parables, and said to them in His doctrine:
4:3	"Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow."
4:4	And it happened, as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and the birds of the air came and devoured it."
4:5	And some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth."
4:6	But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away."
4:7	And some fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit."
4:8	But the other fell on good ground, and yielded fruit that sprang up, increased, and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred."
4:9	And He said to them, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
4:10	But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable.
4:11	And He said to them, "To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all these things come in parables,"
4:12	so that 'Seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand; lest they should be converted at any time, and their sins be forgiven them.'"
4:13	And He said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How then shall you understand all the parables?"
4:14	The sower sows the word."
4:15	And these are those by the wayside where the word is sown. But when they have heard, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts."
4:16	And likewise these are those which are sown on stony ground who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;"
4:17	but they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when affliction or persecution arises for the word's sake, immediately they stumble."
4:18	Now these are the ones sown among thorns; those who hear the word,"
4:19	but the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful."
4:20	But these are they which are sown on good ground, those who hear the word, receive it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred."
4:21	And He said to them, "Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be set on a lampstand?"
4:22	Because, there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light."
4:23	If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
4:24	Then He said to them, "Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given."
4:25	Because, whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him."
4:26	And He said, "The kingdom of God is like as if a man should scatter seed on the ground,"
4:27	and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how."
4:28	Because, the earth yields crops from itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head."
4:29	So when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."
4:30	Then He said, "To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what comparison shall we compare it?"
4:31	It is like a grain of mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds that are in the earth;"
4:32	but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade."
4:33	And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it.
4:34	But He did not speak to them without a parable. And when they were alone, He expounded all things to His disciples.
4:35	And the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side."
4:36	Now when they had sent the crowd away, they took Him in the boat just as He was. And there were also with Him other little boats.
4:37	And a large windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already full.
4:38	But He was in the back of the boat, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, "Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?"
4:39	Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!" And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.
4:40	But He said to them, "Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?"
4:41	And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, "What type of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!"


4:1	And he began agayne to teache by the seesyde. And there gadered to gedder vnto him moche people so greatly yt he entred into a ship and sate in the see and all the people was by the seeside on the shoore.
4:2	And he taught them many thynges in similitudes and sayde vnto them in his doctrine:
4:3	Herken to. Beholde There wet out a sower to sowe.
4:4	And it fortuned as he sowed that some fell by the waye syde and the fowles of the ayre came and devoured it vp.
4:5	Some fell on stony grounde where it had not moche erth: and by and by sprange vp because it had not deepth of erth:
4:6	but as sone as the sunne was vp it caught heet and because it had not rotynge wyddred awaye.
4:7	And some fell amonge the thornes and the thornes grewe vp and choked it so that it gave no frute.
4:8	And some fell vpon good grounde and dyd yelde frute that sproge and grewe and brought forthe: some thirty folde some sixtie folde and some an hundred folde.
4:9	And he sayde vnto them: he that hath eares to heare let him heare.
4:10	And when he was alone they yt were aboute him with ye .xii. axed him of ye similitude.
4:11	And he sayde vnto the. To you it is geve to knowe the mistery of the kyngdome of God. But vnto them that are wt out shall all thinges be done in similitudes:
4:12	yt when they se they shall se and not discerne: and when they heare they shall heare and not vnderstonde: leste at any tyme they shulde tourne and their synnes shuld be forgeve the.
4:13	And he sayde vnto the: Perceave ye not this similitude? how then shulde ye vnderstonde all other similitudes?
4:14	The sower soweth ye worde.
4:15	And they that are by the wayes syde where the worde is sowen are they to whom assone as they have herde it Satha cometh immediatly and takith awaye the worde that was sowe in their hertes.
4:16	And likewise they that are sowen on the stonye groude are they: which when they have harde the worde at once receave it wt gladnes
4:17	yet have no rotes in them selves and so endure but a tyme: and anone as trouble and persecucion aryseth for ye wordes sake they fall immediatly.
4:18	And they that are sowe amoge the thornes are soche as heare ye worde:
4:19	and ye care of this worlde and ye disseytfulnes of ryches and the lustes of other thinges entre in and choocke ye worde and it is made vnfrutfull.
4:20	And those that weare sowe in good grounde are they that heare the worde and receave it and bringe forth frute some thirty folde some sixty folde some an hundred folde.
4:21	And he sayde vnto them: is ye candle lighted to be put vnder a busshell or vnder ye table and not rather to be put on a cadelstick?
4:22	For there is nothinge so prevy that shall not be opened: nether so secreet but that it shall come abroade.
4:23	Yf eny man have eares to heare let him heare.
4:24	And he sayde vnto them: take hede what ye heare. With what measure ye mete with the same shall it be measured vnto you agayne. And vnto you that heare shall more be geve.
4:25	For vnto him yt hath shall it be geven: and from him that hath not shalbe taken awaye even that he hath.
4:26	And he sayde: so is the kyngdome of God even as yf a man shuld sowe seed in ye groude
4:27	and shulde slepe and ryse vp night and daye: and the seede shuld springe and growe vp he not ware.
4:28	For ye erth bringeth forthe frute of her silfe: fyrst the blade then the eares after that full corne in the eares.
4:29	And as sone as the frute is brought forth anone he throusteth in ye sykell because the hervest is come.
4:30	And he sayde: where vnto shall we lyke the kyngdome of God? or with what copareson shall we copare it?
4:31	It is lyke a grayne of mustard seed which when it is sowe in the erth is the leest of all seedes that be in the erth:
4:32	but after that it is sowen it groweth vp and is greatest of all yerbes: and bereth greate brauches so that ye fowles of the ayre maye dwell vnder the shadowe of it.
4:33	And with many soche similitudes he preached the worde vnto the after as they myght heare it.
4:34	And with out similitude spake he no thinge vnto them. But when they were aparte he expounded all thinges to his disciples.
4:35	And the same daye when even was come he sayde vnto them: let vs passe over vnto the other syde.
4:36	And they lefte the people and toke him even as he was in the shyp. And ther were also with him other shippes.
4:37	And ther arose a great storme of wynde and dasshed ye waves into the ship so that it was full.
4:38	And he was in the sterne a slepe on a pelowe. And they awoke him and sayde to him: Master carest thou not yt we perisshe?
4:39	And he rose vp and rebuked the wynde and sayde vnto the see: peace and be still. And the winde alayed and ther folowed a greate calme.
4:40	And he sayde vnto them: why are ye so fearfull? How is it that ye have no fayth?
4:41	And they feared excedingly and sayde one to another: what felowe is this? For booth winde and see obey him.
