Mark 4
1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and
there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so
that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and
the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
2 And he taught them many things by parables, and
said unto them in his doctrine,
3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
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 up.
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:
6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and
because it had no root, it withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew
up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit
that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some
thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear,
let him hear.
10 And when he was alone, they that were about him
with the twelve asked of him the parable.
11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to
know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them
that are without, all these things are done in
parables:
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.
13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable?
and how then will ye know all parables?
14 The sower soweth the word.
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.
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on
stony ground; who, when they have heard the word,
immediately receive it with gladness;
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 are
offended.
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns;
such as hear the word,
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.
20 And these are they which 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.
21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be
put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set
on a candlestick?
22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be
manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but
that it should come abroad.
23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear:
with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to
you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
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.
26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man
should cast seed into the ground;
27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the
seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself;
first the blade, then the ear, after that the full
corn in the ear.
29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately
he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is
come.
30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom
of God? or with what comparison shall we compare 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
be in the earth:
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 the shadow of it.
33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto
them, as they were able to hear it.
34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and
when they were alone, he expounded all things to his
disciples.
35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith
unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they
took him even as he was in the ship. And there were
also with him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the
waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep
on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him,
Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose, 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 unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how
is it that ye have no faith?
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?
