Mark 4:2-20

2And He was teachingG1321 them manyG4183 thingsG4183 in 1parablesG3850, and was sayingG3004 to them in His teachingG1322, 3“ListenG191 to this! BeholdG2400, the sowerG4687 wentG1831 out to sowG4687; 4as he was sowingG4687, someG3739G3303 seed fellG4098 besideG3844 the roadG3598, and the birdsG4071 cameG2064 and ateG2719 it up. 5OtherG243 seed fellG4098 on the rockyG4075 ground whereG3699 it did not haveG2192 muchG4183 soilG1093; and immediatelyG2117 it sprangG1816 up becauseG1223 it hadG2192 noG3361 depthG899 of soilG1093. 6And afterG3753 the sunG2246 had risenG393, it was scorchedG2739; and becauseG1223 it hadG2192 noG3361 rootG4491, it witheredG3583 awayG3583. 7OtherG243 seed fellG4098 amongG1519 the thornsG173, and the thornsG173 cameG305 up and chokedG4846 it, and it yieldedG1325 noG3756 cropG2590. 8OtherG243 seeds fellG4098 into the goodG2570 soilG1093, and as they grewG305 up and increasedG837, they yieldedG1325 a cropG2590 and producedG5342 thirtyG5144, sixtyG1835, and a hundredfoldG1540.” 9And He was sayingG3004, “2He whoG3739 hasG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, 3let him hearG191.”

10As soonG3753 as He was aloneG3441, 4His followersG3588G4012, alongG4862 with the twelveG1427, began askingG2065 Him about the parablesG3850. 11And He was sayingG3004 to them, “To you has been givenG1325 the mysteryG3466 of the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, but 5thoseG1565 who are outsideG1854 getG1096 everythingG3956 6in parablesG3850, 12soG2443 that 7while seeingG991, they may seeG991 and not perceiveG3708, and while hearingG191, they may hearG191 and not understandG4920, otherwiseG3379 they might returnG1994 and be forgivenG863.”

138And He saidG3004 to them, “Do you not understandG3609 thisG3778 parableG3850? HowG4459 will you understandG1097 allG3956 the parablesG3850? 14The sowerG4687 sowsG4687 the wordG3056. 15TheseG3778 are the ones whoG3588 are besideG3844 the roadG3598 whereG3699 the wordG3056 is sownG4687; and whenG3752 they hearG191, immediatelyG2117 9SatanG4567 comesG2064 and takesG142 awayG142 the wordG3056 which has been sownG4687 in them. 16In a similarG3668 wayG3668 theseG3778 are the ones on whom seed was sownG4687 on the rockyG4075 places, whoG3739, whenG3752 they hearG191 the wordG3056, immediatelyG2117 receiveG2983 it with joyG5479; 17and they haveG2192 noG3756 firm rootG4491 in themselvesG1438, but are only temporaryG4340; thenG1534, when afflictionG2347 orG2228 persecutionG1375 arisesG1096 becauseG1223 of the wordG3056, immediatelyG2117 they 10fallG4624 awayG4624. 18And othersG243 are the ones on whom seed was sownG4687 amongG1519 the thornsG173; theseG3778 are the ones who have heardG191 the wordG3056, 19but the worriesG3308 of 11the 12worldG165, and the 13deceitfulnessG539 of richesG4149, and the desiresG1939 for otherG3062 thingsG3062 enterG1531 in and chokeG4846 the wordG3056, and it becomesG1096 unfruitfulG175. 20And thoseG1565 are the ones on whom seed was sownG4687 on the goodG2570 soilG1093; and they hearG191 the wordG3056 and acceptG3858 it and 14bearG2592 fruitG2592, thirtyG5144, sixtyG1835, and a hundredfoldG1540.”
