| 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? |

| 4:18 | And ther ben othir that ben sowun in thornes; these it ben that heren the word, |
| 4:19 | and disese of the world, and disseit of ritchessis, and othir charge of coueytise entrith, and stranglith the word, and it is maad with out fruyt. |
| 4:20 | And these it ben that ben sowun on good lond, whiche heren the word, and taken, and maken fruyt, oon thritti fold, oon sixti fold, and oon an hundrid fold. |
| 4:21 | And he seide to hem, Wher a lanterne cometh, that it be put vndur a buschel, or vndur a bed? nay, but that it be put on a candilstike? |
| 4:22 | Ther is no thing hid, that schal not be maad opyn; nethir ony thing is pryuey, that schal not come in to opyn. |
| 4:23 | If ony man haue eeris of heryng, here he. |
| 4:24 | And he seide to hem, Se ye what ye heren. In what mesure ye meten, it schal be metun to you ayen, and be cast to you. |
| 4:25 | For it schal be youun to hym that hath, and it schal be takun awei fro him that hath not, also that that he hath. |
| 4:26 | And he seide, So the kingdom of God is, as if a man caste seede in to the erthe, |
| 4:27 | and he sleepe, and it rise up niyt and dai, and brynge forth seede, and wexe faste, while he woot not. |
| 4:28 | For the erthe makith fruyt, first the gras, aftirward the ere, and aftir ful fruyt in the ere. |
| 4:29 | And whanne of it silf it hath brouyt forth fruyt, anoon he sendith a sikil, for repyng tyme is come. |
| 4:30 | And he seide, To what thing schulen we likne the kyngdom of God? or to what parable schulen we comparisoun it? |
| 4:31 | As a corne of seneuei, which whanne it is sowun in the erthe, is lesse than alle seedis that ben in the erthe; |
| 4:32 | and whanne it is sprongun up, it waxith in to a tre, and is maad gretter than alle erbis; and it makith grete braunchis, so that briddis of heuene moun dwelle vndur the schadewe therof. |
| 4:33 | And in many suche parablis he spak to hem the word, as thei myyten here; |
| 4:34 | and he spak not to hem with out parable. But he expownede to hise disciplis alle thingis bi hemsilf. |
| 4:35 | And he seide to hem in that dai, whanne euenyng was come, Passe we ayenward. |
| 4:36 | And thei leften the puple, and token hym, so that he was in a boot; and othere bootys weren with hym. |
| 4:37 | And a greet storm of wynde was maad, and keste wawis in to the boot, so that the boot was ful. |
| 4:38 | And he was in the hyndir part of the boot, and slepte on a pilewe. And thei reisen hym, and seien to hym, Maistir, perteyneth it not to thee, that we perischen? |
| 4:39 | And he roos vp, and manasside the wynde, and seide to the see, Be stille, wexe doumbe. And the wynde ceesside, and greet pesiblenesse was maad. |
| 4:40 | And he seide to hem, What dreden ye? `Ye han no feith yit? |
| 4:41 | thei dredden with greet drede, and seiden `ech to other, Who, gessist thou, is this? for the wynde and the see obeschen to hym. |
| 4:1 | And hee began againe to teache by the sea side, and there gathered vnto him a great multitude, so that hee entred into a shippe, and sate in the sea, and all the people was by the sea side on the land. |
| 4:2 | And he taught them many things in parables, and said vnto them in his doctrine, |
| 4:3 | Hearken: Beholde, there went out a sower to sowe. |
| 4:4 | And it came to passe as he sowed, that some fell by the way side, and the foules of the heauen came, and deuoured it vp. |
| 4:5 | And some fell on stonie grounde, where it had not much earth, and by and by sprang vp, because it had not depth of earth. |
| 4:6 | But assoone as ye Sunne was vp, it was burnt vp, and because it had not roote, it withered away. |
| 4:7 | And some fell among the thornes, and the thornes grewe vp, and choked it, so that it gaue no fruite. |
| 4:8 | Some againe fell in good grounde, and did yeelde fruite that sprong vp, and grewe, and it brought foorth, some thirtie folde, some sixtie folde, and some an hundreth folde. |
| 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, |
| 4:12 | That they seeing, may see, and not discerne: and they hearing, may heare, and not vnderstand, least at any time they should turne, and their sinnes should be forgiuen them. |
| 4:13 | Againe he said vnto them, Perceiue ye not this parable? howe then should ye vnderstand all other parables? |
| 4:14 | The sower soweth the worde. |
| 4:15 | And these are they that receiue the seede by the wayes side, in whome the worde is sowen: but when they haue heard it, Satan commeth immediatly, and taketh away the worde that was sowen in their heartes. |
| 4:16 | And likewise they that receiue the seede in stony ground, are they, which whe they haue heard the word, straightwayes receiue it with gladnesse. |
| 4:17 | Yet haue they no roote in themselues, and endure but a time: for when trouble and persecution ariseth for the worde, immediatly they be offended. |
| 4:18 | Also they that receiue the seede among the thornes, are such as heare the word: |
| 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. |
| 4:20 | But they that haue receiued seede in good ground, are they that heare the worde, and receiue it, and bring foorth fruite: one corne thirtie, another sixtie, and some an hundreth. |
| 4:21 | Also he saide vnto them, Commeth the candle in, to be put vnder a bushell, or vnder the bed, and not to be put on a candlesticke? |
| 4:22 | For there is nothing hid, that shall not be opened: neither is there a secret, but that it shall come to light. |
| 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. |
| 4:25 | For vnto him that hath, shall it be giuen, and from him that hath not, shall be taken away, euen that he hath. |
| 4:26 | Also he said, So is the kingdome of God, as if a man should cast seede in the ground, |
| 4:27 | And shoulde sleepe, and rise vp night and day, and the seede should spring and growe vp, he not knowing howe. |
| 4:28 | For the earth bringeth foorth fruite of it selfe, first the blade, then the eares, after that full corne in the eares. |
| 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? |
| 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!" |
