Mark 4
1 And again he began to teach by the shore of the lake; and there was gathered to him a very great multitude, so that he went into a boat, and sat down in it upon the lake; and all the multitude was by the lake on the land.
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.
2 And he taught them many things in parables, and said to them in his teaching,
And he taught them many things in parables, and said vnto them in his doctrine,
3 Hearken: Behold, a sower went forth to sow.
Hearken: Beholde, there went out a sower to sowe.
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed some seeds fell by the way-side; and the birds came and devoured them.
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.
5 And others fell on rocky ground, where they had not much earth; and they sprung up immediately, because they had no depth of earth.
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.
6 But when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
But assoone as ye Sunne was vp, it was burnt vp, and because it had not roote, it withered away.
7 And others fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them, and they yielded no fruit.
And some fell among the thornes, and the thornes grewe vp, and choked it, so that it gaue no fruite.
8 And others fell on good ground, and shooting up and growing yielded fruit; and bore as much as thirty, and sixty, and a hundred fold.
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.
9 And he said, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Then he said vnto them, He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
10 And when he was in private, they who were about him, with the twelve, asked him about the parables.
And whe he was alone, they that were about him with the twelue, asked him of ye parable.
11 And he said to them, To you hath been given the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them, who are without, all things are done in parables; t
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,
12 hat seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest they should turn, and be forgiven.
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.
13 And he saith to them, Know ye not this parable? and how will ye know all the parables?
Againe he said vnto them, Perceiue ye not this parable? howe then should ye vnderstand all other parables?
14 The sower soweth the word.
The sower soweth the worde.
15 And these are they by the wayside, those where the word is sown, and when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in them.
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.
16 And these in like manner are they that are sown on the rocky places, those, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy,
And likewise they that receiue the seede in stony ground, are they, which whe they haue heard the word, straightwayes receiue it with gladnesse.
17 and have no root in themselves, but endure only for a time; then, when affliction or persecution ariseth on account of the word, they immediately fall away.
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.
18 And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they who hear the word,
Also they that receiue the seede among the thornes, are such as heare the word:
19 but the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
20 And these are they who are sown on the good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it; and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundred fold.
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.
21 And he said to them, Is a lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, and not to be set on the lamp-stand?
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?
22 For there is nothing secret, unless to be made known; nor was any thing hidden, but that it should come to light.
For there is nothing hid, that shall not be opened: neither is there a secret, but that it shall come to light.
23 If any one hath ears to hear, let him hear.
If any man haue eares to heare, let him heare.
24 And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear. With what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you, and more will be added to you.
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.
25 For he that hath, to him will be given; and he that hath not, from him will be taken away even what he hath.
For vnto him that hath, shall it be giuen, and from him that hath not, shall be taken away, euen that he hath.
26 And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as when a man has cast seed upon the ground,
Also he said, So is the kingdome of God, as if a man should cast seede in the ground,
27 and sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs and grows up, he knows not how.
And shoulde sleepe, and rise vp night and day, and the seede should spring and growe vp, he not knowing howe.
28 For the earth brings forth fruit of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
For the earth bringeth foorth fruite of it selfe, first the blade, then the eares, after that full corne in the eares.
29 But when the fruit puts itself forth, immediately he sends out the sickle, because the harvest is come.
And assoone as the fruite sheweth it selfe, anon hee putteth in the sickle, because the haruest is come.
30 And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or under what comparison shall we set it forth?
He saide moreouer, Whereunto shall wee liken the kingdome of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
31 It is like a grain of mustard, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth;
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:
32 and when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air can lodge under its shade.
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.
33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear.
And with many such parables he preached the word vnto them, as they were able to heare it.
34 But without a parable he did not speak to them; but in private he explained all things to his own disciples.
And without parables spake hee nothing vnto them: but he expounded all thinges to his disciples apart.
35 And on the same day, when the evening was come, he saith to them, Let us pass over to the other side.
Nowe the same day when euen was come, he saide vnto them, Let vs passe ouer vnto the other side.
36 And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, as he was, in the boat; and there were also other boats with him.
And they left the multitude, and tooke him as he was in the shippe, and there were also with him other little shippes.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves heat into the boat, so that it was already filling.
And there arose a great storme of winde, and the waues dashed into the shippe, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the stern, asleep on the pillow; and they awake him, and say to him, Teacher, carest thou not that we are perishing?
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?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the waves, Peace! be still! And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
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.
40 And he said to them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have not faith?
Then he saide vnto them, Why are ye so fearefull? how is it that ye haue no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the waves obey him?
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who is this, that both the winde and sea obey him?
