Mark 4
1 And again He began to teach beside the sea. And (are gathered together *N(k)O*) to Him a crowd (greatest *N(K)O*) so that He into a boat having climbed (*k*) sitting in the sea, and all the crowd close to the sea on the land (was. *N(k)O*)
Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.
2 And He was teaching them in parables many things and He was saying to them in the teaching of Him;
He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
3 do listen! Behold went out the [one] sowing (of the *ko*) to sow;
“Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.
4 And it came to pass while sowing, some fell along the road, and came the birds (heaven *K*) and devoured it.
As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 (And *no*) other (however *k*) fell upon the rocky place (and *o*) where not it had soil much, and immediately it sprang up because of the not having depth of soil.
Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
6 (And *N(k)O*) (after *NO*) (rose *N(k)O*) (the *no*) (sun it was scorched *N(k)O*) and because of not having root it withered away.
When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 And other fell among the thorns, and grew up the thorns and choked it, and fruit no it yielded.
Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 And (others *N(k)O*) fell into the soil good and was yielding fruit growing up and (increasing *N(k)(o)*) and was bearing (one *N(K)(o)*) thirtyfold and (one *N(K)(o)*) sixty and (one *N(K)(o)*) a hundred.
Others fell into the good ground and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some produced thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much.”
9 And He was saying (to them: *k*) ([He] who has *N(k)O*) ears to hear he should hear.
He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10 (And *no*) when (now *k*) He was (utterly *N(K)O*) (alone, they were asking *N(k)O*) Him those around Him with the Twelve (about the *N(k)O*) (parables. *N(K)O*)
When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
11 And He was saying to them; To you (to know *k*) the mystery has been given of the kingdom of God, To those however who are outside in parables everything is done
He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of God’s Kingdom, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,
12 so that Looking they may look and not they may perceive and hearing they may hear and not they may understand otherwise otherwise they may turn and may be forgiven to them’ (sins. *k*)
that ‘seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sins should be forgiven them.’”
13 And He says to them; Not understand you parable this? And how all the parables will you understand?
He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
14 The [one] sowing the word sows.
The farmer sows the word.
15 These now are they along the road where is sown the word, and when they may hear, immediately comes Satan and takes away the word sown (in *N(k)O*) (hearts *K*) (them. *N(k)(o)*)
The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
16 And these are (likewise *KO*) those upon the rocky places sown, who when they may hear the word, immediately with joy receive it
These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
17 and not they have root in themselves but temporary are. then when was happening tribulation or persecution on account of the word, immediately they fall away.
They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
18 And (another *N(K)O*) are those among the thorns sown; These are those the word (hearing, *N(k)O*)
Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
19 and the cares of the (age *NK(O)*) (this *k*) and the deceit of the riches and of the other things desires entering in they choke the word, and unfruitful it becomes. (aiōn g165)
and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 And (those *N(k)O*) are those upon the soil good having been sown, such as hear the word and receive [it] and bring forth fruit (one *N(K)O*) thirtyfold and (one *N(K)O*) sixty and (one *N(K)O*) a hundred.
Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”
21 And He was saying to them (that: *o*) surely not ever is brought in the lamp so that under the basket it may be put or under the bed? Surely that upon the lampstand (may it be put? *N(k)O*)
He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn’t it put on a stand?
22 Nothing for there is (anything *k*) hidden (which *k*) only unless (in order *NO*) it shall be made manifest, nor has taken place a secret thing but that it shall come to light.
For there is nothing hidden except that it should be made known, neither was anything made secret but that it should come to light.
23 If anyone has ears to hear he should hear.
If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24 And He was saying to them; do take heed what you hear. With what measure you measure it will be measured to you and more will be added to you (who are hearing. *K*)
He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you; and more will be given to you who hear.
25 Who[ever] for (maybe *k*) (has, *N(k)O*) it will be given to him; and he who not has, even (what *N(k)O*) he has will be taken away from him.
For whoever has, to him more will be given; and he who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.”
26 And He was saying; Thus is the kingdom of God, as (if *ko*) a man shall cast the seed upon the earth
He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
27 and he may sleep and he may be risen night and day, and the seed may sprout and it may grow how not knows he himself.
and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
28 Of itself (for *k*) the earth brings forth fruit — first a plant then an ear then full (grain *NK(o)*) in the ear.
For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 When then it may produce the fruit, immediately he sends the sickle for has come the harvest.
But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
30 And He was saying; (how *N(k)O*) shall we liken the kingdom of God Or in (which *N(k)O*) it parable (let us present *N(k)O*)
He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
31 As (a grain *NK(o)*) of mustard which when it may be sown upon the earth, (smaller than is *N(k)O*) all the seeds which [are] upon the earth.
It’s like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,
32 and when it may be sown, it grows up and becomes (greater *N(k)O*) than all the garden plants and it produces branches great so that to be able under the shadow of it the birds of the air to perch.
yet when it is sown, grows up and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow.”
33 And with such parables many He was speaking to them the word even as they were able to hear.
With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
34 Without then parables not was He speaking to them; in private however (to [His] own *N(k)O*) disciples He was explaining all things.
Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 And He says to them on that [very] day evening having come; let us pass over to the other side.
On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”
36 And having dismissed the crowd they take with [them] Him since He was in the boat, also other (now *k*) (boats *N(k)O*) were with Him.
Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
37 And comes a storm violent of wind (And *no*) the (now *k*) waves were breaking over the boat so that already is being filled up (the *no*) (boat. *N(K)O*)
A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
38 And He himself was (in *N(k)O*) the stern on the cushion sleeping. And (they wake *N(k)O*) Him and say to Him; Teacher, not is it concern to You that we perish?
He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and asked him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are dying?”
39 And having been awoken He rebuked the wind and said to the sea; Silence! you must be still! And abated the wind, and there was a calm great.
He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.
40 And He said to them; Why fearful are you? (Still not *N(K)O*) (how not *K*) have you faith?
He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
41 And they feared [with] fear great and were saying to each other; Who then this is that even the wind and the sea (it obeys *N(k)O*) Him?
They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
