Mark 4
1 and again be first to teach from/with/beside the/this/who sea and (to assemble *N(k)O*) to/with it/s/he crowd (most *N(K)O*) so it/s/he toward boat to climb (the/this/who *k*) to sit in/on/among the/this/who sea and all the/this/who crowd to/with the/this/who sea upon/to/against the/this/who earth: country (to be *N(k)O*)
Jesus again began to teach by the sea; and, as an immense crowd was gathering round him, he got into a boat, and sat in it on the sea, while all the people were on the shore at the water’s edge.
2 and to teach it/s/he in/on/among parable much and to say it/s/he in/on/among the/this/who teaching it/s/he
Then he taught them many truths in parables; and in the course of his teaching he said to them:
3 to hear look! to go out the/this/who to sow (the/this/who *ko*) to sow
‘Listen! The sower went out to sow;
4 and to be in/on/among the/this/who to sow which on the other hand to collapse from/with/beside the/this/who road and to come/go the/this/who bird (the/this/who heaven *K*) and to devour it/s/he
and presently, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path; and the birds came, and ate it up.
5 (and *no*) another (then *k*) to collapse upon/to/against the/this/who rocky (and *o*) where(-ever) no to have/be earth: soil much and immediately to sprout up through/because of the/this/who not to have/be depth earth: soil
Some fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and, because the soil wasn’t deep, sprang up at once;
6 (and *N(k)O*) (when *NO*) (to rise *N(k)O*) (the/this/who *no*) (sun to scorch *N(k)O*) and through/because of the/this/who not to have/be root to dry
but, when the sun rose, it was scorched, and, because their roots were not deep enough, withered away.
7 and another to collapse toward the/this/who a thorn and to ascend the/this/who a thorn and to choke it/s/he and fruit no to give
Some of the seed fell among brambles; but the brambles shot up and completely choked it, and it yielded no return.
8 and (another *N(k)O*) to collapse toward the/this/who earth: soil the/this/who good and to give fruit to ascend and (to grow *N(k)(o)*) and to bear/lead (one *N(K)(o)*) thirty and (one *N(K)(o)*) sixty and (one *N(K)(o)*) hundred
Some fell into good soil, and, shooting up and growing, yielded a return, amounting to thirty, sixty, and even a hundred fold.’
9 and to say (it/s/he *k*) (which to have/be *N(k)O*) ear to hear to hear
And Jesus said, ‘Let anyone who has ears to hear with hear.’
10 (and *no*) when (then *k*) to be (according to *N(K)O*) (alone to ask *N(k)O*) it/s/he the/this/who about it/s/he with the/this/who twelve (the/this/who *N(k)O*) (parable *N(K)O*)
Afterwards, when he was alone, his followers and the Twelve asked him about his parables;
11 and to say it/s/he you (to know *k*) the/this/who mystery to give the/this/who kingdom the/this/who God that then the/this/who out/outside(r) in/on/among parable the/this/who all to be
and he said, ‘To you the hidden truth of the kingdom of God has been imparted; but to those who are outside it all teaching takes the form of parables so that –
12 in order that/to to see to see and not to perceive: understand and to hear to hear and not to understand not once/when to turn and to release: forgive it/s/he (the/this/who sin *k*)
“Though they have eyes, they may see without perceiving; and though they have ears, they may hear without understanding; otherwise some day they might turn and be forgiven.”’
13 and to say it/s/he no to know the/this/who parable this/he/she/it and how! all the/this/who parable to know
‘You do not know the meaning of this parable?’ he went on, ‘Then how will you understand all the other parables?
14 the/this/who to sow the/this/who word to sow
The sower sows the message.
15 this/he/she/it then to be the/this/who from/with/beside the/this/who road where(-ever) to sow the/this/who word and when(-ever) to hear immediately to come/go the/this/who Satan and to take up the/this/who word the/this/who to sow (toward *N(k)O*) (the/this/who heart *K*) (it/s/he *N(k)(o)*)
The people meant by the seed that falls along the path are these – where the message is sown, but, as soon as they have heard it, Satan immediately comes and carries away the message that has been sown in them.
16 and this/he/she/it to be (similarly *KO*) the/this/who upon/to/against the/this/who rocky to sow which when(-ever) to hear the/this/who word immediately with/after joy to take it/s/he
So, too, those meant by the seed sown on the rocky places are the people who, when they have heard the message, at once accept it joyfully;
17 and no to have/be root in/on/among themself but temporary to be then to be pressure or persecution through/because of the/this/who word immediately to cause to stumble
but, as they have no root, they stand only for a short time; and so, when trouble or persecution arises because of the message, they fall away at once.
18 and (another *N(K)O*) to be the/this/who toward the/this/who a thorn to sow this/he/she/it to be the/this/who the/this/who word (to hear *N(k)O*)
Those meant by the seed sown among the brambles are different; they are the people who hear the message,
19 and the/this/who concern the/this/who (an age: age *NK(O)*) (this/he/she/it *k*) and the/this/who deceit the/this/who riches and the/this/who about the/this/who remaining desire to enter to choke the/this/who word and unfruitful to be (aiōn g165)
but the cares of life, and the glamour of wealth, and cravings for many other things come in and completely choke the message, so that it gives no return. (aiōn g165)
20 and (that *N(k)O*) to be the/this/who upon/to/against the/this/who earth: soil the/this/who good to sow who/which to hear the/this/who word and to welcome and to bear fruit (one *N(K)O*) thirty and (one *N(K)O*) sixty and (one *N(K)O*) hundred
But the people meant by the seed sown on the good ground are those who hear the message, and welcome it, and yield a return, thirty, sixty, and even a hundred fold.’
21 and to say it/s/he (that/since: that *o*) surely not to come/go the/this/who lamp in order that/to by/under: under the/this/who bucket to place or by/under: under the/this/who bed no in order that/to upon/to/against the/this/who lampstand (to place *N(k)O*)
Jesus said to them, ‘Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under the couch, instead of being put on the lamp-stand?
22 no for to be (one *k*) hidden (which *k*) if not (in order that/to *NO*) to reveal nor to be concealed but in order that/to to come/go toward clear
There is nothing hidden that will not come to light and nothing is concealed that will not be brought into the open.
23 if one to have/be ear to hear to hear
Let all who have ears to hear with hear.
24 and to say it/s/he to see which? to hear in/on/among which measure to measure to measure you and to add (to) you (the/this/who to hear *K*)
‘Take care what you listen to,’ said Jesus. ‘The standard you use will be used for you, and more will be added for you.
25 which for (if *k*) (to have/be *N(k)O*) to give it/s/he and which no to have/be and (which *N(k)O*) to have/be to take up away from it/s/he
For, to those who have, more will be given; while, from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.’
26 and to say thus(-ly) to be the/this/who kingdom the/this/who God as/when (if *ko*) a human to throw: sow the/this/who seed upon/to/against the/this/who earth: soil
Jesus also said, ‘This is what the kingdom of God is like – like a man who has scattered seed on the ground,
27 and to sleep and to arise night and day and the/this/who seed to sprout and to grow as/when no to know it/s/he
and then sleeps by night and rises by day, while the seed is shooting up and growing – he knows not how.
28 by itself (for *k*) the/this/who earth: soil to bear fruit first grass then head of grain then full (grain *NK(o)*) in/on/among the/this/who head of grain
The ground bears the crop of itself – first the blade, then the ear, and then the full grain in the ear;
29 when(-ever) then to deliver the/this/who fruit immediately to send the/this/who sickle that/since: since to stand by the/this/who harvest
but, as soon as the crop is ready, immediately he puts in the sickle because harvest has come.’
30 and to say (how! *N(k)O*) to liken the/this/who kingdom the/this/who God or in/on/among (which? *N(k)O*) it/s/he parable (to place *N(k)O*)
Jesus also said, ‘To what can we liken the kingdom of God?
31 as/when (seed *NK(o)*) mustard which when(-ever) to sow upon/to/against the/this/who earth: soil (small to be *N(k)O*) all the/this/who seed: offspring the/this/who upon/to/against the/this/who earth: soil
By what can we illustrate it? Perhaps by the growth of a mustard seed. This seed, when sown in the ground, though it is smaller than all other seeds,
32 and when(-ever) to sow to ascend and to be (great *N(k)O*) all the/this/who plant and to do/make: do branch great so be able by/under: by the/this/who shadow it/s/he the/this/who bird the/this/who heaven to dwell
yet, when sown, shoots up, and becomes larger than any other herb, and puts out great branches, so that even the wild birds can roost in its shelter.’
33 and such as this parable much to speak it/s/he the/this/who word as/just as be able to hear
With many such parables Jesus used to speak to the people of his message, as far as they were able to receive it;
34 without then parable no to speak it/s/he according to one's own/private then the/this/who (one's own/private *N(k)O*) disciple to explain all
and to them he never used to speak except in parables; but in private to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 and to say it/s/he in/on/among that the/this/who day evening to be to pass through toward the/this/who other side
In the evening of the same day, Jesus said to them, ‘Let us go across.’
36 and to release: leave the/this/who crowd to take it/s/he as/when to be in/on/among the/this/who boat and another (then *k*) (boat *N(k)O*) to be with/after it/s/he
So, leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them, just as he was, in the boat; and there were other boats with him.
37 and to be storm great wind (and *no*) the/this/who (then *k*) a wave to put on/seize toward the/this/who boat so already to fill (the/this/who *no*) (boat *N(K)O*)
A violent squall came on, and the waves kept dashing into the boat, so that the boat was actually filling.
38 and it/s/he to be (in/on/among *N(k)O*) the/this/who stern upon/to/against the/this/who cushion to sleep and (to arise *N(k)O*) it/s/he and to say it/s/he teacher no to concern you that/since: that to destroy
Jesus was in the stern asleep on the cushion; and the disciples roused him and cried, ‘Teacher! Is it nothing to you that we are lost?’
39 and to arouse to rebuke the/this/who wind and to say the/this/who sea be quiet to muzzle and to abate the/this/who wind and to be calm great
Jesus rose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Hush! Be still!’ Then the wind dropped, and a great calm followed.
40 and to say it/s/he which? timid to be (not yet *N(K)O*) (how! no *K*) to have/be faith
‘Why are you so timid?’ he exclaimed. ‘Have you no faith yet?’
41 and to fear fear great and to say to/with one another which? therefore this/he/she/it to be that/since: that and the/this/who wind and the/this/who sea (to obey *N(k)O*) it/s/he
But they were struck with great awe, and said to one another, ‘Who can this be that even the wind and the sea obey him?’
