| 4:12 | and se not, and thei herynge here and vnderstonde not; lest sum tyme thei be conuertid, and synnes be foryouun to hem. |
| 4:13 | And he seide to hem, Knowe not ye this parable? and hou ye schulen knowe alle parablis? |
| 4:14 | He that sowith, sowith a word. |
| 4:15 | But these it ben that ben aboute the weie, where the word is sowun; and whanne thei han herd, anoon cometh Satanas, and takith awei the word that is sowun in her hertis. |

| 4:34 | and he spak not to hem with out parable. But he expownede to hise disciplis alle thingis bi hemsilf. |
