Mark 4:26-41

26And He was sayingG3004, “The kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is likeG3779G5613 a manG444 who castsG906 seedG4703 upon the soilG1093; 27and he goesG2518 to bedG2518 at nightG3571 and getsG1453 up by dayG2250, and the seedG4703 sproutsG985 and growsG3373--howG5613, he himselfG846 does not knowG3609. 28The soilG1093 producesG2592 cropsG2592 by itselfG844; firstG4413 the bladeG5528, thenG1535 the headG4719, thenG1535 the matureG4134 grainG4621 in the headG4719. 29But whenG3752 the cropG2590 permitsG3860, he immediatelyG2117 12putsG649 in the sickleG1407, becauseG3754 the harvestG2326 has comeG3936.”

303And He saidG3004, “HowG4459 shall we 45pictureG3666 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, orG2228 by whatG5101 parableG3850 shall we presentG5087 it? 31It is likeG5613 a mustardG4615 seedG2848, whichG3739, whenG3752 sownG4687 upon the soilG1093, though it is smallerG3398 than allG3956 the seedsG4690 that are upon the soilG1093, 32yetG2532 whenG3752 it is sownG4687, it growsG305 up and becomesG1096 largerG3173 than allG3956 the gardenG3001 plantsG3001 and formsG4160 largeG3173 branchesG2798; soG5620 that 6the birdsG4071 of the 7airG3772 canG1410 nestG2681 underG5259 its shadeG4639.”

33With manyG4183 suchG5108 parablesG3850 He was speakingG2980 the wordG3056 to them, soG2531 far as they were ableG1410 to hearG191 it; 34and He did not speakG2980 to them 8withoutG5565 a parableG3850; but He was 9explainingG1956 everythingG3956 privatelyG2596G2398 to His ownG2398 disciplesG3101.

3510On that dayG2250, when eveningG3798 cameG1096, He saidG3004 to them, “Let us goG1330 overG1330 to the otherG4008 sideG4008.” 3611LeavingG863 the crowdG3793, they tookG3880 Him alongG3880 with them 12in the boatG4143, justG5613 as He was; and otherG243 boatsG4143 were with Him. 37And there aroseG1096 a fierceG3173 galeG2978 of windG417, and the wavesG2949 were breakingG1911 overG1911 the boatG4143 soG5620 much that the boatG4143 was alreadyG2235 fillingG1072 up. 38Jesus HimselfG846 was in the sternG4403, asleepG2518 on the cushionG4344; and they wokeG1453 Him and saidG3004 to Him, “TeacherG1320, do You not careG3199 that we are perishingG622?” 39And He gotG1326 up and 13rebukedG2008 the windG417 and saidG3004 to the seaG2281, “HushG4623, be stillG5392.” And the windG417 diedG2869 downG2869 and 14it becameG1096 perfectlyG3173 calmG1055. 40And He saidG3004 to them, “WhyG5101 are you 15afraidG1169? 16Do you stillG3768 haveG2192 noG3768 faithG4102?” 41They became veryG3173 muchG3173 afraidG5399 and saidG3004 to oneG240 anotherG240, “WhoG5101 thenG686 is thisG3778, that evenG2532 the windG417 and the seaG2281 obeyG5219 Him?”
