Book 41 : MARK - Chapter 004
004:001
And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them
in his doctrine
004:002
Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow
004:003
And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side,
and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up
004:004
And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth;
and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of
earth
004:005
But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had
no root, it withered away
004:006
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked
it, and it yielded no fruit
004:007
And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang
up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some
sixty, and some an hundred
004:008
And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him
hear
004:009
And when he was alone, they that were about him with the
twelve asked of him the parable
004:010
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the
mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without,
all these things are done in parables
004:011
That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they
may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be
converted, and their sins should be forgiven them
004:012
And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then
will ye know all parables
004:013
The sower soweth the word
004:014
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown;
but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh
away the word that was sown in their hearts
004:015
And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground;
who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it
with gladness
004:016
And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time:
afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the
word's sake, immediately they are offended
004:017
And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear
the word
004:018
And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,
and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and
it becometh unfruitful
004:019
And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear
the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some
thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred
004:020
And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a
bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick
004:021
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;
neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come
abroad
004:022
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear
004:023
And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you
that hear shall more be given
004:024
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not,
from him shall be taken even that which he hath
004:025
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast
seed into the ground
004:026
And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should
spring and grow up, he knoweth not how
004:027
For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the
blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear
004:028
But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in
the sickle, because the harvest is come
004:029
And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or
with what comparison shall we compare it
004:030
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in
the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth
004:031
But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than
all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls
of the air may lodge under the shadow of it
004:032
And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as
they were able to hear it
004:033
But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they
were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples
004:034
And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them,
Let us pass over unto the other side
004:035
And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even
as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other
little ships
004:036
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into
the ship, so that it was now full
004:037
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow:
and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not
that we perish
004:038
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea,
Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great
calm
004:039
And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that
ye have no faith
004:040
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What
manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey
him
