Mark 4
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. (Mark 4:1)
And he taught them many thinges by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine (Mark 4:2),
Hearken; behold, there went out a sower to sow (Mark 4:3):
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 (Mark 4:4).
And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth: and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth (Mark 4:5):
But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. Mark 4:6)
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit (Mark 4:7).
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 (Mark 4:8).
And he said unto them, he that hath ears to hear, let him hear (Mark 4:9).
And when he was alone, they that were about him the twelve asked of him the parable. (Mark 4:10)
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 (Mark 4:11):
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. (Mark 4:12)
And he said unto them, know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables (Mark 4:13)?
The sower soweth the word (Mark 4:14).
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 (Mark 4:15).
And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness (Mark 4:16);
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. (Mark 4:17)
And these are they which are sown among thorns, such as hear the word (Mark 4:18),
And the cares of this world, and the decietfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful (Mark 4:19).
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. (Mark 4:20)
And he said unto them, is a candle brought to put under a bushel, or under a bed? And not to be set on a candlestick? (Mark 4:21)
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad (Mark 4:22).
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear (Mark 4:23).
And he he said unto the, take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and untoyou that hear shall more be given (Mark 4:24).
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, fromhim shall be takenn even that which he hath (Mark 4:25).
And he said, so is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; (Mark 4:26)
And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how (Mark 4:27).
For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear (Mark 4:28).
But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he outteth in the sickle. because the harvest is come (41:4:29).
And he said, whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with or with what comparison shall we compare it (41:4:30)?
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: (41:4:31)
But when it is sown, it growth 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 (Mark 4:32).
And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it (Mark 4:33).
But without a parables spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples (Mark 4:34).
And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, let us pass over unto the other side (Mark 4:35).
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. (41:4:36)
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full (Mark 4:37).
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 (Mark 4:38)?
and he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and ther was a great calm (Mark 4:39).
And he said unto them, why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith? (Mark 4:40)
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, what manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him (Mark 4:41)?
