< 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*)
And He began to teach again by the sea-side, and there was gathered unto Him a great multitude; so that He went into a ship, and sat on board, and all the people were by the sea, upon the shore.
2 And He was teaching them in parables many things and He was saying to them in the teaching of Him;
And He taught them many things by similitudes, and said to them in his instruction,
3 do listen! Behold went out the [one] sowing (of the *ko*) to sow;
hearken, Behold a sower 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.
and in sowing, some fell by the way-side, and the birds came and ate it up:
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.
and some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth, and it sprang up immediately, because it had not depth of earth;
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.
but when the sun rose, it was burnt up, and withered because it had no root:
7 And other fell among the thorns, and grew up the thorns and choked it, and fruit no it yielded.
and some fell among 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.
and other fell on good ground, and yielded fruit springing up and increasing; and produced some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred-fold.
9 And He was saying (to them: *k*) ([He] who has *N(k)O*) ears to hear he should hear.
And He said unto them, He that hath 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*)
And when He was apart from the multitude, those that were about Him with the twelve asked Him concerning the parable.
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
And he said unto them, To you it is granted to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but unto them that are without all things are delivered 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 in seeing they may see and not perceive, and in hearing they may hear and not understand, least they should be converted, and their sins be forgiven them.
13 And He says to them; Not understand you parable this? And how all the parables will you understand?
Then saith He unto them, Do ye not understand this parable? how then will ye understand all my other parables.
14 The [one] sowing the word sows.
The sower is he that soweth the word. And these are they by the way-side:
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)*)
where the word is sown; but when they have heard it, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16 And these are (likewise *KO*) those upon the rocky places sown, who when they may hear the word, immediately with joy receive it
And in like manner, they that are sown as on stony grounds are such, as when they hear the word,
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.
immediately receive it with joy, but have no root in themselves, and so continue but for a short season: and then, when affliction cometh, or persecution on account of the word, they are as soon offended.
18 And (another *N(K)O*) are those among the thorns sown; These are those the word (hearing, *N(k)O*)
And those that are sown as among thorns, are these: such as hear the word indeed,
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 )
but the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and inordinate desires after other things entering in choke the word, and so it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn )
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.
And these are they who are like seed sown on good ground: such as hear the word, and receive it; and bring forth fruit, some thirty-fold, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
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*)
And He said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or a bed, and not to be set on a candlestick?
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, which may not be revealed; nor was there any thing concealed, but in order to become manifest.
23 If anyone has ears to hear he should hear.
If any one hath 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*)
And mind what ye hear: for with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you; and more shall be imparted to you that are observant:
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 whosoever hath, to him more shall be given; and he that hath not, even what he hath, or seemeth to have, shall be taken 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
And He said, The kingdom of God is as if a man should cast seed into the ground,
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 sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up, and increase; he knows not 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 produces fruit of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn 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, he immediately puts in the sickle, because the harvest is 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*)
And He said, To what shall we compare the kingdom of God, or by what similitude shall we represent 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 is like to a grain of mustard-seed, which when it is sown in the ground, is one of the lest of all the seeds 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.
but after it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all herbs, and produces large branches, so that the birds of the air may lodge under it's shadow.
33 And with such parables many He was speaking to them the word even as they were able to hear.
And in many such parables spake He the word to them, as they had ability to hear it: but spake not to them without a parable.
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.
And He explained all to his disciples in private.
35 And He says to them on that [very] day evening having come; let us pass over to the other side.
And the same day, in the evening, He saith to them, Let us 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.
So they dismissed the multitude, and took Him as He was in the ship. But there were other small vessels likewise 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*)
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now almost full.
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?
And He was in the stern asleep on a pillow: and they awake Him, and say unto Him, Master, art thou under no concern that we are perishing?
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.
And He rose and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still; and 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?
And He said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how! have ye 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?
And they were exceedingly afraid, and said to one another, Who is this? that even the wind and the sea obey Him?
