Mark 4:1-9

1Once againG3825 Jesus beganG756 to teachG1321 besideG3844 theG3588 seaG2281, andG2532 such a largeG4118 crowdG3793 gatheredG4863 aroundG4314 HimG846 thatG5620 HeG846 got intoG1684G1519 a boatG4143 and satG2521 inG1722 it, whileG2532 allG3956 theG3588 peopleG3793 crowdedG1510G4314G3588G2281 alongG1909 theG3588 shoreG1093.

2AndG2532 He taughtG1321 themG846 many thingsG4183 inG1722 parablesG3850, andG2532 inG1722 HisG846 teachingG1322 He saidG2036, 3“ListenG191G2400! AG3588 farmerG4687 went outG1831 to sow his seedG4687. 4AndG2532 asG1722 he was sowingG4687, someG3739 seed fellG4098 alongG3844 theG3588 pathG3598, andG2532 theG3588 birdsG4071 cameG2064 andG2532 devouredG2719 itG846.

SomeG243 fellG4098 onG1909 rocky groundG4075, whereG3699 it did not haveG3756G2192 muchG4183 soilG1093. It sprang upG1816 quicklyG2112 becauseG1223 the soilG1093 was shallowG3361G3588G2192G899. 6ButG2532 whenG3753 theG3588 sunG2246 roseG393, the seedlings were scorchedG2739, andG2532 they witheredG3583 becauseG1223 they hadG2192 noG3361 rootG4491.

7

OtherG243 seed fellG4098 amongG1519 thornsG173, which grew upG305 andG2532 chokedG4846 the seedlings, andG2532 they yieldedG1325 noG3756 cropG2590.

8StillG2532 otherG243 seed fellG4098 onG1519 goodG2570 soilG1093, where it sproutedG305, grew upG837, andG2532 producedG1325 a cropG2590—oneG1520 bearingG5342 thirtyfoldG5144, anotherG1520 sixtyfoldG1835, andG2532 anotherG1520 a hundredfoldG1540.”

9ThenG2532 Jesus saidG2036, “He whoG3739 hasG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.”
