Mark 4
1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered to him a great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat on the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea 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 by parables, and said to them in his doctrine,
And he taught them many thynges in similitudes and sayde vnto them in his doctrine:
3 Hearken; Behold, a sower went out to sow:
Herken to. Beholde There wet out a sower to sowe.
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it.
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 some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it 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 had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
but as sone as the sunne was vp it caught heet and because it had not rotynge wyddred awaye.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it 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 other fell on good ground, and yielded fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
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 to them, 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 alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
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 it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are outside, all these things are done in parables:
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 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
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 said to them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all 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 way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
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 are they likewise who are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
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, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they 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 these are they who are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
And they that are sowe amoge the thornes are soche as heare ye worde:
19 And the cares of this 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 good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
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 a basket, or under a bed? and not to be set on a lampstand?
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 hid, which shall not be revealed; neither hath any thing been kept secret, 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 man 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 the measure which ye measure, it shall be measured to you: and to you that hear shall more be given.
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 shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which 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, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
And he sayde: so is the kyngdome of God even as yf a man shuld sowe seed in ye groude
27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth 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 bringeth forth fruit of itself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the ripe grain in the head.
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 is brought forth, immediately he putteth in 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 with what comparison shall we compare it?
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 seed, 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 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under its shadow.
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 it.
And with many soche similitudes he preached the worde vnto the after as they myght heare it.
34 But without a parable he spoke not to them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his 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 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 when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the boat. And there were also with him other little boats.
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 beat into the boat, so that it was now full.
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 of the boat, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
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 sea, 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 no 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, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
And they feared excedingly and sayde one to another: what felowe is this? For booth winde and see obey him.
