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 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 parables, and said to them in his teaching,
And he taught them many thynges in similitudes and sayde vnto them in his doctrine:
3 Hearken: Behold, a sower went forth to sow.
Herken to. Beholde There wet 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 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 rocky ground, where they had not much earth; and they sprung up immediately, because they had 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 But when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they 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 thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them, and they 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 on good ground, and shooting up and growing yielded fruit; and bore as much as thirty, and sixty, and a hundred fold.
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, He that hath 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 in private, they who were about 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 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 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 hat seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest 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 saith to them, Know ye not this parable? and how will ye know all the parables?
And he sayde vnto the: Perceave ye not this similitude? how then shulde ye vnderstonde all other similitudes?
14 The sower soweth the word.
The sower soweth ye 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 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 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 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 endure only for a time; then, when affliction or persecution ariseth on account of the word, they immediately fall away.
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 they that are sown among the thorns; these are they who hear the word,
And they that are sowe amoge the thornes are soche as heare ye worde:
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)
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 are sown on the good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it; and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundred fold.
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 a lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, and not to be set on the lamp-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 secret, unless to be made known; nor was any thing hidden, 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 any one hath 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 ye hear. With what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you, and more will be added 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 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 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 when a man has cast seed upon the ground,
And he sayde: so is the kyngdome of God even as yf a man shuld sowe seed in ye groude
27 and sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs and grows up, he knows not how.
and shulde slepe and ryse vp night and daye: and the seede shuld springe and growe vp he not ware.
28 For the earth brings forth fruit of itself, 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 puts itself forth, immediately he sends out the sickle, because the harvest is 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 shall we liken the kingdom of God? or under what comparison shall we set it forth?
And he sayde: where vnto shall we lyke the kyngdome of God? or with what copareson shall we copare 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 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, 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 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.
And with many soche similitudes he preached the worde vnto the after as they myght 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 with out similitude spake he no thinge vnto them. But when they were aparte he expounded all thinges to his disciples.
35 And on the same day, when the evening was come, he saith to them, Let us 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 leaving the multitude, they take him with them, as he was, in the boat; and there were also other boats 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 arose a great storm of wind, and the waves heat into the boat, so that it was already filling.
And ther arose a great storme of wynde and dasshed ye waves into the ship so that it was 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 a slepe on a pelowe. And they awoke him and sayde to him: Master carest thou not yt we perisshe?
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 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 ye so fearful? How is it that ye have not faith?
And he sayde vnto them: why are ye so fearfull? How is it that ye have no fayth?
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 excedingly and sayde one to another: what felowe is this? For booth winde and see obey him.
