Mark 4:9-23

9And He was sayingG3004, “1He whoG3739 hasG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, 2let him hearG191.”

10As soonG3753 as He was aloneG3441, 3His followersG3588G4012, alongG4862 with the twelveG1427 disciples, 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 for 4thoseG1565 who are outsideG1854, everythingG3956 comesG1096 5in parablesG3850, 12soG2443 thatG2443 6while seeingG991 they may seeG991, and not perceiveG3708, and while hearingG191, they may hearG191, and not understandG4920, otherwiseG3379 they might returnG1994 and it would be forgivenG863 them.”

137And 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 8SatanG4567 comesG2064 and takesG142 awayG142 the wordG3056 which has been sownG4687 in them. 16And in a similarG3668 wayG3668 theseG3778 are the ones sownG4687 with seed on the rockyG4075 places, whoG3739, whenG3752 they hearG191 the wordG3056, immediatelyG2117 receiveG2983 it with joyG5479; 17and yet they haveG2192 noG3756 firm rootG4491 in themselvesG1438, but are only temporaryG4340; thenG1534, when afflictionG2347 orG2228 persecutionG1375 occursG1096 becauseG1223 of the wordG3056, immediatelyG2117 they 9fallG4624 awayG4624. 18And othersG243 are the ones sownG4687 with seed amongG1519 the thornsG173; theseG3778 are the ones who have heardG191 the wordG3056, 19but the worriesG3308 of 10the 11worldG165, and the 12deceitfulnessG539 of wealthG4149, and the desiresG1939 for otherG3062 thingsG3062 enterG1531 and chokeG4846 the wordG3056, and it 13becomesG1096 unfruitfulG175. 20And thoseG1565 are the ones sownG4687 with seed on the goodG2570 soilG1093; and they hearG191 the wordG3056 and acceptG3858 it and 14bearG2592 fruitG2592, thirtyG5144, sixtyG1835, and a hundredG1540 times as much.”

21And He was sayingG3004 to them, “15A lampG3088 is not broughtG2064 to be putG5087 underG5259 a 16basketG3426, orG2228 underG5259 a bedG2825, is it? Is it not brought to be putG5087 on the lampstandG3087? 2217For nothingG3756G5100 is hiddenG2927, exceptG1437G3361 to be revealedG5319; norG3761 has anything beenG1096 secretG614, but that it would comeG2064 to lightG5318. 2318IfG1487 anyoneG5100 hasG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, 19let him hearG191.”
