Mark 4

1AndG2532 he beganG756 againG3825 to teachG1321 byG3844 the sea sideG3588G2281: andG2532 there was gatheredG4863 untoG4314 himG846 aG3793 greatG4183 multitudeG3793, so thatG5620 heG846 enteredG1684 intoG1519 a shipG3588G4143, and satG2521 inG1722 the seaG3588G2281; andG2532 theG3588G3793 wholeG3956 multitudeG3588G3793 wasG1510 byG4314 the seaG3588G2281 onG1909 the landG3588G1093. 2AndG2532 he taughtG1321 themG846 many thingsG4183 byG1722 parablesG3850, andG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846 inG1722 hisG846 doctrineG3588G1322, 3HearkenG191; BeholdG3708, there went outG1831 a sowerG4687 to sowG4687: 4AndG2532 it came to passG1096, asG1722 he sowedG4687, someG3739G3303 fellG4098 byG3844 the way sideG3588G3598, andG2532 the fowlsG3588G4071 of the airG3588G3772 cameG2064 andG2532 devouredG2719 itG846 upG2719. 5AndG1161 someG243 fellG4098 onG1909 stony groundG4075, whereG3699 it hadG2192 notG3756 muchG4183 earthG1093; andG2532 immediatelyG2112 it sprang upG1816, becauseG1223 it hadG2192 noG3361 depthG899 of earthG1093: 6ButG1161 whenG393 the sunG2246 was upG393, it was scorchedG2739; andG2532 becauseG1223 it hadG2192 noG3361 rootG4491, it withered awayG3583. 7AndG2532 someG243 fellG4098 amongG1519 thornsG3588G173, andG2532 the thornsG3588G173 grew upG305, andG2532 chokedG4846 itG846, andG2532 it yieldedG1325 noG3756 fruitG2590. 8AndG2532 otherG243 fellG4098 onG1519 goodG3588G2570 groundG3588G1093, andG2532 did yieldG1325 fruitG2590 that sprang upG305 andG2532 increasedG837; andG2532 brought forthG5342, someG1520 thirtyG5144, andG2532 someG1520 sixtyG1835, andG2532 someG1520 an hundredG1540. 9AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, He that hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191. 10AndG1161 whenG3753 he wasG1096 aloneG2651, they that were aboutG4012 himG846 withG4862 the twelveG1427 askedG2065 of himG846 the parableG3588G3850. 11AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, Unto youG4771 it is givenG1325 to knowG1097 the mysteryG3588G3466 of the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316: butG1161 unto themG1565 that are withoutG1854, allG3956 these thingsG3956 are doneG1096 inG1722 parablesG3850: 12ThatG2443 seeingG991 they may seeG991, andG2532 notG3361 perceiveG3708; andG2532 hearingG191 they may hearG191, andG2532 notG3361 understandG4920; lest at any timeG3379 they should be convertedG1994, andG2532 their sinsG3588G265 should be forgivenG863 themG846. 13AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, Know yeG1492 notG3756 thisG3778 parableG3588G3850? andG2532 how thenG4459 will ye knowG1097 allG3956 parablesG3588G3850?

14The sowerG4687 sowethG4687 the wordG3588G3056. 15AndG1161 theseG3778 are theyG1510 byG3844 the way sideG3588G3598, whereG3699 the wordG3588G3056 is sownG4687; butG2532 whenG3752 they have heardG191, SatanG3588G4567 comethG2064 immediatelyG2112, andG2532 taketh awayG142 the wordG3588G3056 that was sownG4687 inG1722 theirG846 heartsG3588G2588. 16AndG2532 theseG3778 are theyG1510 likewiseG3668 which are sownG4687 onG1909 stony groundG4075; whoG3739, whenG3752 they have heardG191 the wordG3588G3056, immediatelyG2112 receiveG2983 itG846 withG3326 gladnessG5479; 17AndG2532 haveG2192 noG3756 rootG4491 inG1722 themselvesG1438, and soG235 endureG1510 butG235 for a timeG4340: afterwardG1534, whenG1096 afflictionG2347 orG2228 persecutionG1375 arisethG1096 forG1223 the word’s sakeG3588G3056, immediatelyG2112 they are offendedG4624. 18AndG2532 theseG3778 are theyG1510 which are sownG3588G4687 amongG1519 thornsG3588G173; such as hearG3588G191 the wordG3588G3056, 19AndG2532 the caresG3588G3308 of thisG3778 worldG3588G165, andG2532 the deceitfulnessG3588G539 of richesG3588G4149, andG2532 the lustsG1939 ofG4012 other thingsG3062 entering inG1531, chokeG4846 the wordG3588G3056, andG2532 it becomethG1096 unfruitfulG175. 20AndG2532 theseG3778 areG1510 they which are sownG3588G4687 onG1909 goodG3588G2570 groundG3588G1093; such asG3748 hearG191 the wordG3588G3056, andG2532 receiveG3858 it, andG2532 bring forth fruitG2592, someG1520 thirtyfoldG5144, someG1520 sixtyG1835, andG2532 someG1520 an hundredG1540.

21AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, IsG3385 a candleG3588G3088 broughtG2064 toG2443 be putG5087 underG5259 a bushelG3588G3426, orG2228 underG5259 a bedG3588G2825? and notG3756 toG2443 be setG2007 onG1909 a candlestickG3588G3087? 22ForG1063 there isG1510 nothingG3756G5100 hidG2927, whichG3739 shallG1437 notG3361 be manifestedG5319; neitherG3761 was any thing keptG1096 secretG614, butG235 thatG2443G1519 it should comeG2064 abroadG5318. 23IfG1487 any manG5100 haveG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191. 24AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, Take heedG991 whatG5101 ye hearG191: withG1722 whatG3739 measureG3358 ye meteG3354, it shall be measuredG3354 to youG4771: andG2532 unto youG4771 that hearG191 shall more be givenG4369. 25ForG1063 he thatG302 hathG2192, to himG846 shall be givenG1325: andG2532 he thatG3739 hathG2192 notG3756, fromG575 himG846 shall be takenG142 evenG2532 that whichG3739 he hathG2192.

26AndG2532 he saidG3004, SoG3779 isG1510 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316, asG5613 ifG1437 a manG444 should castG906 seedG3588G4703 intoG1909 the groundG3588G1093; 27AndG2532 should sleepG2518, andG2532 riseG1453 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250, andG2532 the seedG3588G4703 should springG985 andG2532 grow upG3373, heG846 knowethG1492 notG3756 howG5613. 28ForG1063 the earthG3588G1093 bringeth forth fruitG2592 of herselfG844; firstG4412 the bladeG5528, thenG1534 the earG4719, after thatG1534 theG4621 fullG4134 grainG4621 inG1722 the headG3588G4719. 29ButG1161 whenG3752 the fruitG3588G2590 is brought forthG3860, immediatelyG2112 he putteth inG649 the sickleG3588G1407, becauseG3754 the harvestG3588G2326 is comeG3936.

30AndG2532 he saidG3004, WhereuntoG5101 shall we likenG3666 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316? orG2228 withG1722 whatG4169 comparisonG3850 shall we compareG3846 itG846? 31It is likeG5613 a grainG2848 of mustard seedG4615, whichG3739, whenG3752 it is sownG4687 inG1909 the earthG3588G1093, isG1510 less thanG3398 allG3956 the seedsG3588G4690 that beG3588 inG1909 the earthG3588G1093: 32ButG2532 whenG3752 it is sownG4687, it groweth upG305, andG2532 becomethG1096 greater thanG3173 allG3956 herbsG3588G3001, andG2532 shooteth outG4160 greatG3173 branchesG2798; so thatG5620 the fowlsG3588G4071 of the airG3588G3772 mayG1410 lodgeG2681 underG5259 the shadowG3588G4639 of itG846. 33AndG2532 withG5108 manyG4183 suchG5108 parablesG3850 spake heG2980 the wordG3588G3056 unto themG846, asG2531 they were ableG1410 to hearG191 it. 34ButG1161 withoutG5565 a parableG3850 spake heG2980 notG3756 unto themG846: andG2596 whenG1161 they were aloneG2398, he expoundedG1956 all thingsG3956 toG3588G3101 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101. 35AndG2532 theG3588G2250 sameG1565 dayG3588G2250, whenG1096 the evenG3798 was comeG1096, he saithG3004 unto themG846, Let us pass overG1330 untoG1519 the other sideG4008. 36AndG2532 when they had sent awayG863 the multitudeG3588G3793, they tookG3880 himG846 even asG5613 he wasG1510 inG1722 the shipG3588G4143. AndG2532 there wereG1510 alsoG1161 withG3326 himG846 otherG243 little shipsG4142. 37AndG2532 there aroseG1096 aG2978 greatG3173 stormG2978 of windG417, andG1161 the wavesG2949 beatG1911 intoG1519 the shipG3588G4143, so thatG5620 itG846 wasG1072 nowG2235 fullG1072. 38AndG2532 heG846 wasG1510 inG1909 the hinder part of the shipG3588G4403, asleepG2518 onG1909 a pillowG3588G4344: andG2532 they awakeG1326 himG846, andG2532 sayG3004 unto himG846, MasterG1320, carestG3199 thouG4771 notG3756 thatG3754 we perishG622? 39AndG2532 he aroseG1326, andG2532 rebukedG2008 the windG3588G417, andG2532 saidG3004 unto the seaG3588G2281, PeaceG4623, be stillG5392. AndG2532 the windG3588G417 ceasedG2869, andG2532 there wasG1096 aG1055 greatG3173 calmG1055. 40AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, WhyG5101 are yeG1510 soG3779 fearfulG1169? how is it thatG4459 ye haveG2192 noG3756 faithG4102? 41AndG2532 they fearedG5399 exceedinglyG3173, andG2532 saidG3004 oneG240 toG4314 anotherG240, WhatG5101 mannerG687 of man isG1510 thisG3778, thatG3754 evenG2532 the windG3588G417 andG2532 the seaG3588G2281 obeyG5219 himG846?
