Mark 4:2-20

2And he taughtG1321 them manyG4183 thingsG4183 in parablesG3850, and saidG3004 unto them in his teachingG1321, 3Hearken: BeholdG2400, the sower wentG1831 forthG1831 to sowG4687: 4and it cameG2064 to passG1096, as he sowedG4687, some seed fellG4098 by the wayG3598 side, and the birdsG4071 cameG2064 and devouredG2719 it. 5And otherG243 fellG4098 on the rockyG4075 groundG1093, whereG3699 it had not muchG4183 earthG1093; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earthG1093: 6and whenG3753 the sunG2246 was risen, it was scorchedG2739; and because it had no rootG4491, it witheredG3583 awayG3583. 7And otherG243 fellG4098 among the thornsG173, and the thornsG173 grew up, and chokedG4846 it, and it yielded no fruitG2590. 8And othersG243 fellG4098 into the goodG2570 groundG1093, and yielded fruitG2590, growingG837 up and increasingG837; and broughtG5342 forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfoldG1540. 9And he saidG3004, Who hath earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.

10And whenG3753 he was aloneG3441, they that were about him with the twelveG1427 askedG2065 of him the parablesG3850. 11And he saidG3004 unto them, Unto you is givenG1325 the mysteryG3466 of the kingdomG932 of GodG2316: but unto them that are without, all thingsG3956 are done in parablesG3850: 12that seeingG3708 they may seeG3708, and not perceive; and hearingG191 they may hearG191, and not understandG4920; lestG3361 haply they should turnG1994 again, and it should be forgivenG863 them. 13And he saith unto them, KnowG1097 ye not this parableG3850? and howG4459 shall ye knowG1097 all the parablesG3850? 14The sower soweth the wordG3056. 15And these areG1510 they by the wayG3598 side, whereG3699 the wordG3056 isG1510 sownG4687; and whenG3752 they have heardG191, straightway cometh SatanG4567, and taketh awayG142 the wordG3056 which hath beenG1510 sownG4687 in them. 16And these in like manner areG1510 they that areG1510 sownG4687 upon the rockyG4075 places, who, whenG3752 they have heardG191 the wordG3056, straightway receiveG2983 it with joyG5479; 17and they have no rootG4491 in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulationG2347 or persecutionG1375 ariseth because of the wordG3056, straightway they stumbleG4624. 18And othersG243 areG1510 they that areG1510 sownG4687 among the thornsG173; these areG1510 they that have heardG191 the wordG3056, 19and the caresG3308 of the world, and the deceitfulness of richesG4149, and the lustsG1939 of otherG3062 thingsG3062 enteringG1531 in, chokeG4846 the wordG3056, and it becometh unfruitfulG175. 20And those areG1510 they that wereG1510 sownG4687 upon the goodG2570 groundG1093; such as hearG191 the wordG3056, and accept it, and bear fruitG2592, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfoldG1540.
