 <<  Markus 4 >> 

1AGAIN JESUS began to teach beside the lake. And a very great crowd gathered about Him, so that He got into a ship in order to sit in it on the sea, and the whole crowd was at the lakeside on the shore.

2And He taught them many things in parables (illustrations or comparisons put beside truths to explain them), and in His teaching He said to them:

3Give attention to this! Behold, a sower went out to sow.

4And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

5Other seed [of the same kind] fell on ground full of rocks, where it had not much soil; and at once it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil;

6And when the sun came up, it was scorched, and because it had not taken root, it withered away.

7Other seed [of the same kind] fell among thorn plants, and the thistles grew {and} pressed together {and} utterly choked {and} suffocated it, and it yielded no grain.

8And other seed [of the same kind] fell into good (well-adapted) soil and brought forth grain, growing up and increasing, and yielded up to thirty times as much, and sixty times as much, and even a hundred times as much as had been sown.

9And He said, He who has ears to hear, let him be hearing [and let him consider, and comprehend].

10And as soon as He was alone, those who were around Him, with the Twelve [apostles], began to ask Him about the parables.

11And He said to them, To you has been entrusted the mystery of the kingdom of God [that is, the secret counsels of God which are hidden from the ungodly]; but for those outside [of our circle] everything becomes a parable,

12In order that they may [indeed] look {and} look but not see {and} perceive, and may hear {and} hear but not grasp {and} comprehend, lest haply they should turn again, and it [their willful rejection of the truth] should be forgiven them.

13And He said to them, Do you not discern {and} understand this parable? How then is it possible for you to discern {and} understand all the parables?

14The sower sows the Word.

15The ones along the path are those who have the Word sown [in their hearts], but when they hear, Satan comes at once and [by force] takes away the message which is sown in them.

16And in the same way the ones sown upon stony ground are those who, when they hear the Word, at once receive {and} accept {and} welcome it with joy;

17And they have no real root in themselves, and so they endure for a little while; then when trouble or persecution arises on account of the Word, they immediately are offended (become displeased, indignant, resentful) {and} they stumble {and} fall away.

18And the ones sown among the thorns are others who hear the Word;

19Then the cares {and} anxieties of the world {and} distractions of the age, and the pleasure {and} delight {and} false glamour {and} deceitfulness of riches, and the craving {and} passionate desire for other things creep in and choke {and} suffocate the Word, and it becomes fruitless.

20And those sown on the good (well-adapted) soil are the ones who hear the Word and receive {and} accept {and} welcome it and bear fruit--some thirty times as much as was sown, some sixty times as much, and some [even] a hundred times as much.

21And He said to them, Is the lamp brought in to be put under a peck measure or under a bed, and not [to be put] on the lampstand?

22[Things are hidden temporarily only as a means to revelation.] For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed, nor is anything [temporarily] kept secret except in order that it may be made known.

23If any man has ears to hear, let him be listening {and} let him perceive {and} comprehend.

24And He said to them, Be careful what you are hearing. The measure [of thought and study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you--and more [besides] will be given to you {who hear.}

25For to him who has will more be given; and from him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away [by force],

26And He said, The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed upon the ground,

27And then continues sleeping and rising night and day while the seed sprouts and grows {and} increases--he knows not how.

28The earth produces [acting] by itself--first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

29But when the grain is ripe {and} permits, immediately he sends forth [the reapers] {and} puts in the sickle, because the harvest stands ready.

30And He said, With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use to illustrate {and} explain it?

31It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all seeds upon the earth;

32Yet after it is sown, it grows up and becomes the greatest of all garden herbs and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air are able to make nests {and} dwell in its shade.

33With many such parables [Jesus] spoke the Word to them, as they were able to hear {and} to comprehend {and} understand.

34He did not tell them anything without a parable; but privately to His disciples (those who were peculiarly His own) He explained everything [fully].

35On that same day [when] evening had come, He said to them, Let us go over to the other side [of the lake].

36And leaving the throng, they took Him with them, [just] as He was, in the boat [in which He was sitting]. And other boats were with Him.

37And a furious storm of wind [of hurricane proportions] arose, and the waves kept beating into the boat, so that it was already becoming filled.

38But He [Himself] was in the stern [of the boat], asleep on the [leather] cushion; and they awoke Him and said to Him, Master, do You not care that we are perishing?

39And He arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, Hush now! Be still (muzzled)! And the wind ceased (sank to rest as if exhausted by its beating) and there was [immediately] a great calm (a perfect peacefulness).

40He said to them, Why are you so timid {and} fearful? How is it that you have no faith (no firmly relying trust)?

41And they were filled with great awe {and} feared exceedingly and said one to another, Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey Him?
