MRK 4:1
Mark 4:1
|
|
And he began again to teach by the sea side:
and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship,
and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:2
Mark 4:2
|
|
And he taught them many things by parables,
and said unto them in his doctrine, |
|
|
|
MRK 4:3
Mark 4:3
|
|
Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: |
|
|
|
MRK 4:4
Mark 4:4
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:5
Mark 4:5
|
|
And some fell on stony ground, where it had
not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: |
|
|
|
MRK 4:6
Mark 4:6
|
|
But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and
because it had no root, it withered away. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:7
Mark 4:7
|
|
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew
up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:8
Mark 4:8
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:9
Mark 4:9
|
|
And he said unto them, He that hath ears to
hear, let him hear. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:10
Mark 4:10
|
|
And when he was alone, they that were about
him with the twelve asked of him the parable. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:11
Mark 4:11
|
|
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: |
|
|
|
MRK 4:12
Mark 4:12
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:13
Mark 4:13
|
|
And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable?
and how then will ye know all parables? |
|
|
|
MRK 4:14
Mark 4:14
|
|
The sower soweth the word. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:15
Mark 4:15
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:16
Mark 4:16
|
|
And these are they likewise which are sown on
stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with
gladness; |
|
|
|
MRK 4:17
Mark 4:17
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:18
Mark 4:18
|
|
And these are they which are sown among thorns;
such as hear the word, |
|
|
|
MRK 4:19
Mark 4:19
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:20
Mark 4:20
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:21
Mark 4:21
|
|
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? |
|
|
|
MRK 4:22
Mark 4:22
|
|
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be
manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:23
Mark 4:23
|
|
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:24
Mark 4:24
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:25
Mark 4:25
|
|
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and
he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:26
Mark 4:26
|
|
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if
a man should cast seed into the ground; |
|
|
|
MRK 4:27
Mark 4:27
|
|
And should sleep, and rise night and day, and
the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:28
Mark 4:28
|
|
For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself;
first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:29
Mark 4:29
|
|
But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately
he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:30
Mark 4:30
|
|
And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom
of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? |
|
|
|
MRK 4:31
Mark 4:31
|
|
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: |
|
|
|
MRK 4:32
Mark 4:32
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:33
Mark 4:33
|
|
And with many such parables spake he the word
unto them, as they were able to hear it. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:34
Mark 4:34
|
|
But without a parable spake he not unto them:
and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:35
Mark 4:35
|
|
And the same day, when the even was come, he
saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:36
Mark 4:36
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:37
Mark 4:37
|
|
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the
waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:38
Mark 4:38
|
|
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? |
|
|
|
MRK 4:39
Mark 4:39
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
MRK 4:40
Mark 4:40
|
|
And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful?
how is it that ye have no faith? |
|
|
|
MRK 4:41
Mark 4:41
|
|
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to
another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? |
