4 And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming to Him, He spoke by an allegory:
And when a great multitude had assembled, and they were coming to him from every city, he spoke by a parable:
5 “The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
The sower went forth to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the air ate it up.
6 And other fell on the rock, and having sprung up, it withered, through having no moisture.
And some fell upon the rock; and when it had sprung up, it withered, because it had no moisture.
7 And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, choked it.
And some fell in the midst of thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.
8 And other fell on the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit a hundredfold.” Saying these things, He was calling, “He having ears to hear—let him hear.”
And other seed fell into good ground, and sprung up, and produced fruit a hundred-fold. When he had said these things, he cried: He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
9 And His disciples were questioning Him, saying, “What may this allegory be?”
And the disciples asked him, saying: What does this parable mean?
10 And He said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in allegories, that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
He replied: To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that when they see, they may not see, and when they hear, they may not understand.
11 And this is the allegory: the seed is the word of God,
But the meaning of the parable is this: The seed is the word of God;
12 and those beside the way are those hearing, then comes the Devil, and takes up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.
those by the wayside are they that hear; then comes the devil and takes the word from their heart, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 And those on the rock: they who, when they may hear, receive the word with joy, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
Those on the rock are they that, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who, for awhile, believe, and in time of temptation apostatize.
14 And that which fell to the thorns: these are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and do not bear to completion.
That which fell among thorns are those who hear, and so conduct themselves, that they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 And that in the good ground: these are they who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, retain [it], and bear fruit in continuance.
But that on the good ground are those who, in a good and honest heart, hear the word, and keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 And no one having lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel, or puts [it] under a bed; but he puts [it] on a lampstand, that those coming in may see the light,
No one when he has lighted a lamp, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a divan, but sets it on a lamp-stand, that they who come in may see the light.
17 for nothing is secret, that will not become visible, nor hid, that will not be known and become visible.
For there is nothing concealed, that shall not be made manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known and brought into view.
18 See, therefore, how you hear, for whoever may have, there will be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seems to have will be taken from him.”
Take heed, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, even that which he seems to have shall be taken from him.
19 And there came to Him His mother and brothers, and they were not able to get to Him because of the multitude,
