< Mark 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.
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.
2 And he taught them many things in parables, and said vnto them in his doctrine,
And he taught them many thynges in similitudes and sayde vnto them in his doctrine:
3 Hearken: Beholde, there went out a sower to sowe.
Herken to. Beholde There wet out a sower to sowe.
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.
And it fortuned as he sowed that some fell by the waye syde and the fowles of the ayre came and devoured it vp.
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.
Some fell on stony grounde where it had not moche erth: and by and by sprange vp because it had not deepth of erth:
6 But assoone as ye Sunne was vp, it was burnt vp, and because it had not roote, it withered away.
but as sone as the sunne was vp it caught heet and because it had not rotynge wyddred awaye.
7 And some fell among the thornes, and the thornes grewe vp, and choked it, so that it gaue no fruite.
And some fell amonge the thornes and the thornes grewe vp and choked it so that it gave no frute.
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.
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.
9 Then he said vnto them, He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
And he sayde vnto them: he that hath eares to heare let him heare.
10 And whe he was alone, they that were about him with the twelue, asked him of ye parable.
And when he was alone they yt were aboute him with ye. xii. axed him of ye similitude.
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,
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:
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.
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.
13 Againe he said vnto them, Perceiue ye not this parable? howe then should ye vnderstand all other parables?
And he sayde vnto the: Perceave ye not this similitude? how then shulde ye vnderstonde all other similitudes?
14 The sower soweth the worde.
The sower soweth ye worde.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
18 Also they that receiue the seede among the thornes, are such as heare the word:
And they that are sowe amoge the thornes are soche as heare ye worde:
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. (aiōn )
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. (aiōn )
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.
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.
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?
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?
22 For there is nothing hid, that shall not be opened: neither is there a secret, but that it shall come to light.
For there is nothinge so prevy that shall not be opened: nether so secreet but that it shall come abroade.
23 If any man haue eares to heare, let him heare.
Yf eny man have eares to heare let him heare.
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.
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.
25 For vnto him that hath, shall it be giuen, and from him that hath not, shall be taken away, euen that he hath.
For vnto him yt hath shall it be geven: and from him that hath not shalbe taken awaye even that he hath.
26 Also he said, So is the kingdome of God, as if a man should cast seede in the ground,
And he sayde: so is the kyngdome of God even as yf a man shuld sowe seed in ye groude
27 And shoulde sleepe, and rise vp night and day, and the seede should spring and growe vp, he not knowing howe.
and shulde slepe and ryse vp night and daye: and the seede shuld springe and growe vp he not ware.
28 For the earth bringeth foorth fruite of it selfe, first the blade, then the eares, after that full corne in the eares.
For ye erth bringeth forthe frute of her silfe: fyrst the blade then the eares after that full corne in the eares.
29 And assoone as the fruite sheweth it selfe, anon hee putteth in the sickle, because the haruest is come.
And as sone as the frute is brought forth anone he throusteth in ye sykell because the hervest is come.
30 He saide moreouer, Whereunto shall wee liken the kingdome of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
And he sayde: where vnto shall we lyke the kyngdome of God? or with what copareson shall we copare it?
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:
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:
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.
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.
33 And with many such parables he preached the word vnto them, as they were able to heare it.
And with many soche similitudes he preached the worde vnto the after as they myght heare it.
34 And without parables spake hee nothing vnto them: but he expounded all thinges to his disciples apart.
And with out similitude spake he no thinge vnto them. But when they were aparte he expounded all thinges to his disciples.
35 Nowe the same day when euen was come, he saide vnto them, Let vs passe ouer vnto the other side.
And the same daye when even was come he sayde vnto them: let vs passe over vnto the other syde.
36 And they left the multitude, and tooke him as he was in the shippe, and there were also with him other little shippes.
And they lefte the people and toke him even as he was in the shyp. And ther were also with him other shippes.
37 And there arose a great storme of winde, and the waues dashed into the shippe, so that it was now full.
And ther arose a great storme of wynde and dasshed ye waves into the ship so that it was full.
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?
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?
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.
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.
40 Then he saide vnto them, Why are ye so fearefull? how is it that ye haue no faith?
And he sayde vnto them: why are ye so fearfull? How is it that ye have no fayth?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who is this, that both the winde and sea obey him?
And they feared excedingly and sayde one to another: what felowe is this? For booth winde and see obey him.
