4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
A great multitude being with Him, and coming to Him throughout every city, He spoke in a parable:
5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
A sower went out to sow his seed. And while he was sowing, some fell by the way, and was trodden under foot, and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
And other fell on the rock; and springing up, withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
And other fell in the midst of thorns, and the thorns growing together, choked it out.
8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
And other fell into good ground, and springing up, produced fruit, a hundredfold. Speaking these things, He cried out, Let the one having ears to hear, hear.
9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
And His disciples asked Him saying, What might this parable be?
10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
And He said; To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; in order that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
And this is the parable: The seed is the word of God.
12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
And there are those who hear by the wayside; then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, lest they believing may be saved.
13 They on the rock [are they], which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
And those on the stones are they who, when they may hear, receive the word with joy; and they have no root in them, who believe for a time, and in time of temptation they fall away.
14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of [this] life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
And that which falleth among thorns, there are those who hear, and going forward, by the cares and riches and pleasures are choked out, and bring forth no fruit to perfection.
15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep [it], and bring forth fruit with patience.
And that which is in the good ground, are those whosoever hearing the word in a beautiful and good heart, retain it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth [it] under a bed; but setteth [it] on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
But no one having lighted a candle covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but he places it on a candlestick, in order that those coming in may see the light.
17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither [any thing] hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
For there is nothing hidden which shall not be made manifest; neither is there any thing concealed, which may not be made known and come into the light.
18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
Therefore see how you hear: for whosoever may have, it shall be given unto him; and whosoever may not have, it shall be taken from him, even that which he seems to have.
19 Then came to him [his] mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
And His mother and His brothers came to Him, and were not able to reach Him on account of the crowd.
20 And it was told him [by certain] which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
And it was told Him, Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, wishing to see thee.
21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
And He responding said to them, My mother and my brothers are the ones hearing the word of God, and doing it.
