< Mark 4 >
1 Again he began to teach beside the sea, and a large crowd gathered around him. He stepped into a boat that was on the sea, and he sat down in it. The whole crowd was on the shore beside the sea.
Καὶ πάλιν ἤρξατο διδάσκειν παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν. καὶ (συνάγεται *N(k)O*) πρὸς αὐτὸν ὄχλος (πλεῖστος *N(K)O*) ὥστε αὐτὸν εἰς πλοῖον ἐμβάντα (τὸ *k*) καθῆσθαι ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος πρὸς τὴν θάλασσαν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς (ἦσαν. *N(k)O*)
2 He taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching, this is what he said to them.
καὶ ἐδίδασκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν παραβολαῖς πολλὰ καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ·
3 “Listen, the farmer went out to sow his seed.
Ἀκούετε. Ἰδοὺ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ σπείρων (τοῦ *ko*) σπεῖραι·
4 As he sowed, some seed fell on the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ σπείρειν, ὃ μὲν ἔπεσεν παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν, καὶ ἦλθεν τὰ πετεινὰ (τοῦ οὐρανοῦ *K*) καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτό.
5 Other seed fell on the rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. Immediately it sprang up, because it did not have deep soil.
(καὶ *no*) ἄλλο (δὲ *k*) ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸ πετρῶδες (καὶ *o*) ὅπου οὐκ εἶχεν γῆν πολλήν, καὶ εὐθὺς ἐξανέτειλεν διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν βάθος γῆς.
6 But when the sun rose, the plants were scorched, and because they had no root, they dried up.
(καὶ *N(k)O*) (ὅτε *NO*) (ἀνέτειλεν *N(k)O*) (ὁ *no*) (ἥλιος, ἐκαυματίσθη *N(k)O*) καὶ διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν ῥίζαν ἐξηράνθη.
7 Other seed fell among the thorn plants. The thorn plants grew up and choked it, and it did not produce a crop.
καὶ ἄλλο ἔπεσεν εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας, καὶ ἀνέβησαν αἱ ἄκανθαι καὶ συνέπνιξαν αὐτό, καὶ καρπὸν οὐκ ἔδωκεν.
8 Other seed fell into good soil and it produced a crop growing up and increasing thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times.”
καὶ (ἄλλα *N(k)O*) ἔπεσεν εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν καλὴν καὶ ἐδίδου καρπὸν ἀναβαίνοντα καὶ (αὐξανόμενα *N(k)(o)*) καὶ ἔφερεν (ἓν *N(K)(o)*) τριάκοντα καὶ (ἓν *N(K)(o)*) ἑξήκοντα καὶ (ἓν *N(K)(o)*) ἑκατόν.
9 Then he said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear!”
καὶ ἔλεγεν (αὐτοῖς· *k*) (ὃς ἔχει *N(k)O*) ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω.
10 When Jesus was alone, those who were close to him and with the twelve asked him about the parables.
(Καὶ *no*) ὅτε (δὲ *k*) ἐγένετο (κατὰ *N(K)O*) (μόνας, ἠρώτων *N(k)O*) αὐτὸν οἱ περὶ αὐτὸν σὺν τοῖς δώδεκα (τὰς *N(k)O*) (παραβολάς. *N(K)O*)
11 He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to those outside everything is in parables,
καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· ὑμῖν (γνῶναι *k*) τὸ μυστήριον δέδοται τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ, ἐκείνοις δὲ τοῖς ἔξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τὰ πάντα γίνεται
12 so that when they look, yes they look, but do not see, and so that when they hear, yes they hear, but do not understand, or else they would turn and God would forgive them.”
ἵνα βλέποντες βλέπωσιν καὶ μὴ ἴδωσιν καὶ ἀκούοντες ἀκούωσιν καὶ μὴ συνιῶσιν μήποτε μήποτε ἐπιστρέψωσιν καὶ ἀφεθῇ αὐτοῖς (τὰ ἁμαρτήματα. *k*)
13 Then he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the other parables?
Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· οὐκ οἴδατε τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην; καὶ πῶς πάσας τὰς παραβολὰς γνώσεσθε;
14 The farmer who sows his seed is the one who sows the word.
ὁ σπείρων τὸν λόγον σπείρει.
15 These are the ones that fall beside the road, where the word was sown, but when they hear it, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
οὗτοι δέ εἰσιν οἱ παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ὅπου σπείρεται ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὅταν ἀκούσωσιν, εὐθὺς ἔρχεται ὁ σατανᾶς καὶ αἴρει τὸν λόγον τὸν ἐσπαρμένον (εἰς *N(k)O*) (ταῖς καρδίαις *K*) (αὐτούς. *N(k)(o)*)
16 These are the ones that are sown on rocky ground, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy.
καὶ οὗτοί εἰσιν (ὁμοίως *KO*) οἱ ἐπὶ τὰ πετρώδη σπειρόμενοι, οἳ ὅταν ἀκούσωσιν τὸν λόγον, εὐθὺς μετὰ χαρᾶς λαμβάνουσιν αὐτὸν
17 They have no root in themselves, but endure for a short time. Then tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, and immediately they stumble.
καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσιν ῥίζαν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἀλλὰ πρόσκαιροί εἰσιν. εἶτα γενομένης θλίψεως ἢ διωγμοῦ διὰ τὸν λόγον, εὐθὺς σκανδαλίζονται.
18 The others are the ones that were sown among the thorns. They hear the word,
καὶ (ἄλλοι *N(K)O*) εἰσὶν οἱ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας σπειρόμενοι· οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ τὸν λόγον (ἀκούσαντες, *N(k)O*)
19 but the cares of the world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires of other things enter in and choke the word, and it does not produce a crop. (aiōn )
καὶ αἱ μέριμναι τοῦ (αἰῶνος *NK(O)*) (τούτου *k*) καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου καὶ αἱ περὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἐπιθυμίαι εἰσπορευόμεναι συμπνίγουσιν τὸν λόγον, καὶ ἄκαρπος γίνεται. (aiōn )
20 Then those that were sown in the good soil are the ones who hear the word and receive it, and they produce crops—thirty, sixty, or a hundred times what was sown.”
καὶ (ἐκεῖνοί *N(k)O*) εἰσιν οἱ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τὴν καλὴν σπαρέντες, οἵτινες ἀκούουσιν τὸν λόγον καὶ παραδέχονται καὶ καρποφοροῦσιν (ἓν *N(K)O*) τριάκοντα καὶ (ἓν *N(K)O*) ἑξήκοντα καὶ (ἓν *N(K)O*) ἑκατόν.
21 Jesus said to them, “Do you bring a lamp inside the house to put it under a basket, or under the bed? You bring it in and you put it on a lampstand.
Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς (ὅτι· *o*) μήτι ἔρχεται ὁ λύχνος ἵνα ὑπὸ τὸν μόδιον τεθῇ ἢ ὑπὸ τὴν κλίνην; οὐχ ἵνα ἐπὶ τὴν λυχνίαν (τεθῇ; *N(k)O*)
22 For nothing is hidden that will not be known, and nothing is secret that will not come out into the open.
οὐ γάρ ἐστιν (τί *k*) κρυπτόν (ὃ *k*) ἐὰν μὴ (ἵνα *NO*) φανερωθῇ, οὐδὲ ἐγένετο ἀπόκρυφον ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα ἔλθῃ εἰς φανερόν.
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
εἴ τις ἔχει ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω.
24 He said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear, for the measure you use will be measured to you, and more will be added to you.
Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· βλέπετε τί ἀκούετε. ἐν ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε μετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν καὶ προστεθήσεται ὑμῖν (τοῖς ἀκούουσιν. *K*)
25 Because whoever has, to him will be given more, and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken.”
ὃς γὰρ (ἂν *k*) (ἔχει, *N(k)O*) δοθήσεται αὐτῷ· καὶ ὃς οὐκ ἔχει, καὶ (ὃ *N(k)O*) ἔχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ.
26 He also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who sows his seed on the ground.
Καὶ ἔλεγεν· οὕτως ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ, ὡς (ἐὰν *ko*) ἄνθρωπος βάλῃ τὸν σπόρον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
27 He sleeps at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.
καὶ καθεύδῃ καὶ ἐγείρηται νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν, καὶ ὁ σπόρος βλαστᾷ καὶ μηκύνηται ὡς οὐκ οἶδεν αὐτός.
28 The earth bears grain by itself: First the blade, then the ear, then the mature grain in the ear.
αὐτομάτη (γὰρ *k*) ἡ γῆ καρποφορεῖ πρῶτον χόρτον εἶτα στάχυν εἶτα πλήρης (σῖτον *NK(o)*) ἐν τῷ στάχυϊ.
29 When the crop is ripe, he immediately sends in the sickle because the harvest has come.”
ὅταν δὲ παραδοῖ ὁ καρπός, εὐθὺς ἀποστέλλει τὸ δρέπανον ὅτι παρέστηκεν ὁ θερισμός.
30 Again he said, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use to explain it?
Καὶ ἔλεγεν· (πῶς *N(k)O*) ὁμοιώσωμεν τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ ἢ ἐν (τίνι *N(k)O*) αὐτὴν παραβολῇ (θῶμεν; *N(k)O*)
31 It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth.
ὡς (κόκκῳ *NK(o)*) σινάπεως ὃς ὅταν σπαρῇ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, (μικρότερον ὂν *N(k)O*) πάντων τῶν σπερμάτων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
32 Yet, when it is sown, it grows and becomes greater than all the garden plants, and it forms large branches, so that the birds of heaven can make their nests in its shade.”
καὶ ὅταν σπαρῇ, ἀναβαίνει καὶ γίνεται (μεῖζον *N(k)O*) πάντων τῶν λαχάνων καὶ ποιεῖ κλάδους μεγάλους ὥστε δύνασθαι ὑπὸ τὴν σκιὰν αὐτοῦ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατασκηνοῦν.
33 With many parables like this he spoke the word to them, as much as they were able to understand,
Καὶ τοιαύταις παραβολαῖς πολλαῖς ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς τὸν λόγον καθὼς ἠδύναντο ἀκούειν.
34 and he did not speak to them without a parable. But when he was alone, he explained everything to his own disciples.
χωρὶς δὲ παραβολῆς οὐκ ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς· κατ᾽ ἰδίαν δὲ τοῖς (ἰδίοις *N(k)O*) μαθηταῖς ἐπέλυεν πάντα.
35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go over to the other side.”
Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὀψίας γενομένης· διέλθωμεν εἰς τὸ πέραν.
36 So they left the crowd, taking Jesus with them, just as he was, in the boat. There were other boats going along with him.
καὶ ἀφέντες τὸν ὄχλον παραλαμβάνουσιν αὐτὸν ὡς ἦν ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ, καὶ ἄλλα (δὲ *k*) (πλοῖα *N(k)O*) ἦν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ.
37 Just then a violent windstorm arose and the waves were breaking into the boat so that the boat was almost full of water.
καὶ γίνεται λαῖλαψ μεγάλη ἀνέμου, (καὶ *no*) τὰ (δὲ *k*) κύματα ἐπέβαλλεν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον ὥστε ἤδη γεμίζεσθαι (τὸ *no*) (πλοῖον. *N(K)O*)
38 But Jesus himself was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him up, saying, “Teacher, do you not care that we are about to die?”
καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν (ἐν *N(k)O*) τῇ πρύμνῃ ἐπὶ τὸ προσκεφάλαιον καθεύδων. καὶ (ἐγείρουσιν *N(k)O*) αὐτὸν καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· διδάσκαλε, οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἀπολλύμεθα;
39 He got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” Then the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
καὶ διεγερθεὶς ἐπετίμησεν τῷ ἀνέμῳ καὶ εἶπεν τῇ θαλάσσῃ· σιώπα, πεφίμωσο. καὶ ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος, καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη μεγάλη.
40 Then he said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still not have faith?”
Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τί δειλοί ἐστε; (οὔπω *N(K)O*) (πῶς οὐκ *K*) ἔχετε πίστιν;
41 They were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, because even the wind and the sea obey him?”
καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν φόβον μέγαν καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς ἀλλήλους· τίς ἄρα οὗτός ἐστιν ὅτι καὶ ὁ ἄνεμος καὶ ἡ θάλασσα (ὑπακούει *N(k)O*) αὐτῷ;
