Mark 4
1 And again he began to teach by the seaside. And a large crowd was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. And the whole crowd was on the land by the sea.
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 then he taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
And he taught them many thynges in similitudes and sayde vnto them in his doctrine:
3 "Listen. Look, the sower who went out to sow.
Herken to. Beholde There wet out a sower to sowe.
4 And it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds 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 others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
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 when the sun came up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
but as sone as the sunne was vp it caught heet and because it had not rotynge wyddred awaye.
7 And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
And some fell amonge the thornes and the thornes grewe vp and choked it so that it gave no frute.
8 And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth thirty times, and sixty times, and one hundred times."
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, "Whoever has 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 who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
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 has been given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are 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 'seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest perhaps they should turn and be forgiven.'"
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 said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? And how will you understand all of the parables?
And he sayde vnto the: Perceave ye not this similitude? how then shulde ye vnderstonde all other similitudes?
14 The farmer sows the word.
The sower soweth ye worde.
15 And these are the ones by the road where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
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 in a similar way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard 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 they have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. Then, when oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
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 others are those who are sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,
And they that are sowe amoge the thornes are soche as heare ye worde:
19 and the cares of the age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of 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 those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times."
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, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not put on a stand?
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 hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should 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 anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
Yf eny man have eares to heare let him heare.
24 And he said to them, "Consider carefully what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you.
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 has, more will be given, and he who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away 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, "The Kingdom of God is like someone who scatters 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 he sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs up and grows; he doesn't know how.
and shulde slepe and ryse vp night and daye: and the seede shuld springe and growe vp he not ware.
28 The earth bears fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the 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 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts 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 will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we use for it?
And he sayde: where vnto shall we lyke the kyngdome of God? or with what copareson shall we copare it?
31 It's like a mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the soil, though it is less than all the seeds that are upon the soil,
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 when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the garden plants, and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow."
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 spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
And with many soche similitudes he preached the worde vnto the after as they myght heare it.
34 And he did not speak to them without a parable; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
And with out similitude spake he no thinge vnto them. But when they were aparte he expounded all thinges to his disciples.
35 And on that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go 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 leaving the crowd, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were 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 a big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already 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 in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are dying?"
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 he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace. Be still." And the wind ceased, 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 afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
And he sayde vnto them: why are ye so fearfull? How is it that ye have no fayth?
41 And they were greatly afraid, 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.
