Mark 4
1 And again He began to teach by the sea, and there was gathered to Him a great multitude, so that He, having gone into the boat, sat in the sea, and all the multitude was near the sea, 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 allegories, and He said to them in His teaching:
And he taught them many thynges in similitudes and sayde vnto them in his doctrine:
3 “Listen, behold, the sower went forth to sow;
Herken to. Beholde There wet out a sower to sowe.
4 and it came to pass, in the sowing, some fell by the way, and the birds of the sky came and devoured it;
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 other fell on the rocky ground, where it did not have much earth, and immediately it sprang forth, because of having no 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 and the sun having risen, it was scorched, and because of having no root it withered;
but as sone as the sunne was vp it caught heet and because it had not rotynge wyddred awaye.
7 and other fell toward the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it gave no fruit;
And some fell amonge the thornes and the thornes grewe vp and choked it so that it gave no frute.
8 and other fell to the good ground, and was giving fruit, coming up and increasing, and it was bearing, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one a hundred.”
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 And He said to them, “He who is having ears to hear—let him hear.”
And he sayde vnto them: he that hath eares to heare let him heare.
10 And when He was alone, those around Him, with the Twelve, asked Him of the allegory,
And when he was alone they yt were aboute him with ye. xii. axed him of ye similitude.
11 and He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the secret of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, in allegories are all the things done,
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 seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest they may turn, and the sins may be forgiven 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 And He says to them, “Have you not known this allegory? And how will you know all the allegories?
And he sayde vnto the: Perceave ye not this similitude? how then shulde ye vnderstonde all other similitudes?
14 He who is sowing sows the word;
The sower soweth ye worde.
15 and these are they by the way where the word is sown: and whenever they may hear, Satan immediately comes, and he takes away the word that has been sown in their hearts.
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 these are they, in like manner, who are sown on the rocky ground: who, whenever they may hear the word, immediately receive it with joy,
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 and have no root in themselves, but are temporary; afterward tribulation or persecution having come because of the word, immediately they are stumbled.
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 And these are they who are sown toward the thorns: these are they who are hearing the word,
And they that are sowe amoge the thornes are soche as heare ye worde:
19 and the anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, and the desires concerning the other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
20 And these are they who on the good ground have been sown: who hear the word, and receive, and bear fruit, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one a hundred.”
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 And He said to them, “Does the lamp come that it may be put under the measure, or under the bed—not that it may be put on the lampstand?
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 not anything hid that may not be revealed, nor was anything kept hid but that it may 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 has ears to hear—let him hear.”
Yf eny man have eares to heare let him heare.
24 And He said to them, “Take heed what you hear; in what measure you measure, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear it will be added;
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 whoever may have, there will be given to him, and whoever has not, also that which he has will be taken from him.”
For vnto him yt hath shall it be geven: and from him that hath not shalbe taken awaye even that he hath.
26 And He said, “Thus is the Kingdom of God: as if a man may cast the seed on the earth,
And he sayde: so is the kyngdome of God even as yf a man shuld sowe seed in ye groude
27 and may sleep, and may rise night and day, and the seed springs up and grows, he has not known how;
and shulde slepe and ryse vp night and daye: and the seede shuld springe and growe vp he not ware.
28 for of itself the earth bears fruit, first a blade, afterward an ear, afterward full grain in the ear;
For ye erth bringeth forthe frute of her silfe: fyrst the blade then the eares after that full corne in the eares.
29 and whenever the fruit may yield itself, immediately he sends forth the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
And as sone as the frute is brought forth anone he throusteth in ye sykell because the hervest is come.
30 And He said, “To what may we liken the Kingdom of God, or in what allegory may we compare it?
And he sayde: where vnto shall we lyke the kyngdome of God? or with what copareson shall we copare it?
31 As a grain of mustard, which, whenever it may be sown on the earth, is less than any of the seeds that are on 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 and whenever it may be sown, it comes up, and becomes greater than any of the herbs, and makes great branches, so that under its shade the birds of the sky are able to rest.”
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 allegories He was speaking to them the word, as they were able to hear,
And with many soche similitudes he preached the worde vnto the after as they myght heare it.
34 and without an allegory He was not speaking to them, and by themselves, to His disciples He was expounding all.
And with out similitude spake he no thinge vnto them. But when they were aparte he expounded all thinges to his disciples.
35 And He says to them on that day, evening having come, “We may pass over to 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 having let away the multitude, they take Him up as He was in the boat, and other little boats were also with Him.
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 comes a great storm of wind, and the waves were beating on the boat, so that it is now being filled,
And ther arose a great storme of wynde and dasshed ye waves into the ship so that it was full.
38 and He Himself was on the stern, sleeping on the pillow, and they wake Him up, and say to Him, “Teacher, are You not caring 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 having awoken, He rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace, be stilled”; and the wind stilled, and there was a great calm;
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 and He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How have you no faith?”
And he sayde vnto them: why are ye so fearfull? How is it that ye have no fayth?
41 And they feared a great fear and said to one another, “Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
And they feared excedingly and sayde one to another: what felowe is this? For booth winde and see obey him.
