| 4:9 | Then he said vnto them, He that hath eares to heare, let him heare. |
| 4:10 | And whe he was alone, they that were about him with the twelue, asked him of ye parable. |
| 4:11 | And he saide vnto them, To you it is giuen to knowe the mysterie of the kingdome of God: but vnto them that are without, all thinges bee done in parables, |

| 4:19 | But the cares of this world, and the deceitfulnes of riches, and the lustes of other things enter in, and choke the word, and it is vnfruitfull. |

| 4:23 | If any man haue eares to heare, let him heare. |
| 4:24 | And he said vnto them, Take heede what ye heare. With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured vnto you: and vnto you that heare, shall more be giuen. |

| 4:27 | And shoulde sleepe, and rise vp night and day, and the seede should spring and growe vp, he not knowing howe. |

| 4:29 | And assoone as the fruite sheweth it selfe, anon hee putteth in the sickle, because the haruest is come. |
| 4:30 | He saide moreouer, Whereunto shall wee liken the kingdome of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? |
| 4:31 | It is like a graine of mustarde seede, which when it is sowen in the earth, is the least of all seedes that be in the earth: |
| 4:32 | But after that it is sowen, it groweth vp, and is greatest of all herbes, and beareth great branches, so that the foules of heauen may builde vnder the shadow of it. |
| 4:33 | And with many such parables he preached the word vnto them, as they were able to heare it. |
| 4:34 | And without parables spake hee nothing vnto them: but he expounded all thinges to his disciples apart. |
| 4:35 | Nowe the same day when euen was come, he saide vnto them, Let vs passe ouer vnto the other side. |
| 4:36 | And they left the multitude, and tooke him as he was in the shippe, and there were also with him other little shippes. |
| 4:37 | And there arose a great storme of winde, and the waues dashed into the shippe, so that it was now full. |
| 4:38 | And he was in the sterne asleepe on a pillow: and they awoke him, and saide to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? |
| 4:39 | And hee rose vp, and rebuked the winde, and saide vnto the sea, Peace, and be still. So the winde ceased, and it was a great calme. |
| 4:40 | Then he saide vnto them, Why are ye so fearefull? how is it that ye haue no faith? |
| 4:41 | And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who is this, that both the winde and sea obey him? |
