Mark 4

1 The parable of the sower, 14 and the meaning thereof. 21 We must communicate the light of our knowledge to others. 26 The parable of the seed growing secretly, 30 and of the mustard seed. 35 Christ stilleth the tempest on the sea.

 4:1 ¶ And 2532 he began 756 z5662 again 3825 to teach 1321 z5721 by 3844 the x3588 sea side: 2281 and 2532 there was gathered 4863 z5681 unto 4314 him 846 a great 4183 multitude, 3793 so that 5620 he 846 entered 1684 z5631 into 1519 a ship, 4143 and sat 2521 z5738 in 1722 the x3588 sea; 2281 and 2532 the x3588 whole 3956 multitude 3793 was 2258 z5713 by 4314 the x3588 sea 2281 on 1909 the x3588 land. 1093

 4:2 And 2532 he taught 1321 z5707 them 846 many things 4183 by 1722 parables, 3850 and 2532 said 3004 z5707 unto them 846 in 1722 his y846 x848 doctrine, 1322

 4:3 Hearken; 191 z5720 Behold, 2400 z5628 there went out 1831 z5627 a sower 4687 z5723 to sow: 4687 z5658

 4:4 And 2532 it came to pass, 1096 z5633 as y1722 he sowed, 4687 z5721 some 3739 3303 fell 4098 z5627 by 3844 the x3588 way side, 3598 and 2532 the x3588 fowls 4071 of the x3588 air 3772 came 2064 z5627 and 2532 devoured y2719 z0 it y846 up. 2719 z5627 x846

 4:5 And 1161 some 243 fell 4098 z5627 on 1909 stony ground, 4075 where 3699 it had 2192 z5707 not 3756 much 4183 earth; 1093 and 2532 immediately 2112 it sprang up, 1816 z5656 because y1223 it had 2192 z5721 no 3361 depth 899 of earth: 1093

 4:6 But 1161 when y393 z0 the sun 2246 was up, 393 z5660 it was scorched; 2739 z5681 and 2532 because y1223 it had 2192 z5721 no 3361 root, 4491 it withered away. 3583 z5681

 4:7 And 2532 some 243 fell 4098 z5627 among 1519 thorns, 173 and 2532 the x3588 thorns 173 grew up, 305 z5627 and 2532 choked 4846 z5656 it, 846 and 2532 it yielded 1325 z5656 no 3756 fruit. 2590

 4:8 And 2532 other 243 fell 4098 z5627 on 1519 good 2570 ground, 1093 and 2532 did yield 1325 z5707 fruit 2590 that sprang up 305 z5723 and 2532 increased; 837 z5723 and 2532 brought forth, 5342 z5707 some 1520 thirty, 5144 and 2532 some 1520 sixty, 1835 and 2532 some 1520 a hundred. 1540

 4:9 And 2532 he said 3004 z5707 unto them, 846 He that hath 2192 z5723 ears 3775 to hear, 191 z5721 let him hear. 191 z5720

 4:10 And 1161 when 3753 he was 1096 z5633 alone, 2651 they x3588 that were about 4012 him 846 with 4862 the x3588 twelve 1427 asked 2065 z5656 of him 846 the x3588 parable. 3850

 4:11 And 2532 he said 3004 z5707 unto them, 846 Unto you 5213 it is given 1325 z5769 to know 1097 z5629 the x3588 mystery 3466 of the x3588 kingdom 932 of God: 2316 but 1161 unto them 1565 that x3588 are without, 1854 all [these] things 3956 are done 1096 z5736 in 1722 parables: 3850

 4:12 That 2443 seeing 991 z5723 they may see, 991 z5725 and 2532 not 3361 perceive; 1492 z5632 and 2532 hearing 191 z5723 they may hear, 191 z5725 and 2532 not 3361 understand; 4920 z5725 lest at any time 3379 they should be converted, 1994 z5661 and 2532 [their] sins 265 should be forgiven 863 z5686 them. 846

 4:13 And 2532 he said 3004 z5719 unto them, 846 Know x1492 ye y1492 z5758 not 3756 this 5026 parable? 3850 and 2532 how x4459 then y4459 will ye know 1097 z5695 all 3956 parables? 3850

 4:14 ¶ The x3588 sower 4687 z5723 soweth 4687 z5719 the x3588 word. 3056

 4:15 And 1161 these 3778 are x1526 they y1526 z5748 x3588 by 3844 the x3588 way side, 3598 where 3699 the x3588 word 3056 is sown; 4687 z5743 but 2532 when 3752 they have heard, 191 z5661 Satan 4567 cometh 2064 z5736 immediately, 2112 and 2532 taketh away 142 z5719 the x3588 word 3056 that was sown 4687 z5772 in 1722 their 846 hearts. 2588

 4:16 And 2532 these 3778 are x1526 they y1526 z5748 likewise y3668 which are sown 4687 z5746 x3668 on 1909 stony ground; 4075 who, 3739 when 3752 they have heard 191 z5661 the x3588 word, 3056 immediately 2112 receive 2983 z5719 it 846 with 3326 gladness; 5479

 4:17 And 2532 have 2192 z5719 no 3756 root 4491 in 1722 themselves, 1438 and 235 so x1526 endure y1526 z5748 but for a time: 4340 afterward, 1534 when affliction 2347 or 2228 persecution 1375 ariseth 1096 z5637 for y1223 the word's sake, 3056 x1223 x3588 immediately 2112 they are offended. 4624 z5743

 4:18 And 2532 these 3778 are 1526 z5748 they which are y1526 z5748 sown 4687 z5746 among 1519 thorns; 173 such as y3778 hear 191 z5723 the x3588 word, 3056

 4:19 And 2532 the x3588 cares 3308 of this 5127 world, 165 and 2532 the x3588 deceitfulness 539 of riches, 4149 and 2532 the x3588 lusts 1939 of 4012 other things 3062 entering in, 1531 z5740 choke 4846 z5719 the x3588 word, 3056 and 2532 it becometh 1096 z5736 unfruitful. 175

 4:20 And 2532 these 3778 are 1526 z5748 they which are sown 4687 z5651 on 1909 good 2570 ground; 1093 such as 3748 hear 191 z5719 the x3588 word, 3056 and 2532 receive 3858 z5736 [it], and 2532 bring forth fruit, 2592 z5719 some 1520 thirtyfold, 5144 x2532 some 1520 y2532 sixty, 1835 and 2532 some 1520 a hundred. 1540

 4:21 ¶ And 2532 he said 3004 z5707 unto them, 846 Is y3385 a x3385 candle 3088 brought 2064 z5736 to 2443 be put 5087 z5686 under 5259 a bushel, 3426 or 2228 under 5259 a bed? 2825 and not 3756 to 2443 be set 2007 z5686 on 1909 a candlestick? 3087

 4:22 For 1063 there is 2076 z5748 nothing 3756 x5100 hid, 2927 y5100 which 3739 shall y5319 z0 not 3362 be manifested; 5319 z5686 neither 3761 was x1096 any thing kept y1096 z5633 secret, 614 but 235 that 2443 it should come 2064 z5632 abroad. 1519 5318

 4:23 If any man 1536 have 2192 z5719 ears 3775 to hear, 191 z5721 let him hear. 191 z5720

 4:24 And 2532 he said 3004 z5707 unto them, 846 Take heed 991 z5720 what 5101 ye hear: 191 z5719 with 1722 what 3739 measure 3358 ye mete, 3354 z5719 it shall be measured 3354 z5701 to you: 5213 and 2532 unto you 5213 that hear 191 z5723 shall more be given. 4369 z5701

 4:25 For 1063 y302 he x3739 x302 that y3739 hath, 2192 z5725 to him 846 shall be given: 1325 z5701 and 2532 he x3739 that y3739 hath 2192 z5719 not, 3756 from 575 him 846 shall be taken 142 z5701 even 2532 that which 3739 he hath. 2192 z5719

 4:26 ¶ And 2532 he said, 3004 z5707 So 3779 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 kingdom 932 of God, 2316 as 5613 if 1437 a man 444 should cast 906 z5632 seed 4703 into 1909 the x3588 ground; 1093

 4:27 And 2532 should sleep, 2518 z5725 and 2532 rise 1453 z5747 night 3571 and 2532 day, 2250 and 2532 the x3588 seed 4703 should spring 985 z5725 and 2532 grow up, 3373 z5747 he 846 knoweth 1492 z5758 not 3756 how. 5613

 4:28 For 1063 the x3588 earth 1093 bringeth forth fruit 2592 z5719 of herself; 844 first 4412 the blade, 5528 then 1534 the ear, 4719 after x1534 that y1534 the x3588 full 4134 corn 4621 in 1722 the x3588 ear. 4719

 4:29 But 1161 when 3752 the x3588 fruit 2590 is brought forth, 3860 z5632 immediately 2112 he putteth in 649 z5719 the x3588 sickle, 1407 because 3754 the x3588 harvest 2326 is come. 3936 z5758

 4:30 ¶ And 2532 he said, 3004 z5707 Whereunto 5101 shall we liken 3666 z5661 the x3588 kingdom 932 of God? 2316 or 2228 with 1722 what 4169 comparison 3850 shall we compare 3846 z5632 it? 846

 4:31 [It is] like 5613 a grain 2848 of mustard seed, 4615 which, 3739 when 3752 it is sown 4687 z5652 in 1909 the x3588 earth, 1093 is x2076 less 3398 than all 3956 the x3588 seeds 4690 that x3588 be 2076 z5748 in 1909 the x3588 earth: 1093

 4:32 But 2532 when 3752 it is sown, 4687 z5652 it groweth up, 305 z5719 and 2532 becometh 1096 z5736 greater x3187 than y3187 all 3956 herbs, 3001 and 2532 shooteth out 4160 z5719 great 3173 branches; 2798 so that 5620 the x3588 fowls 4071 of the x3588 air 3772 may 1410 z5738 lodge 2681 z5721 under 5259 the x3588 shadow 4639 of it. 846

 4:33 And 2532 with many 4183 such 5108 parables 3850 spake x2980 he y2980 z5707 the x3588 word 3056 unto them, 846 as 2531 they were able 1410 z5711 to hear 191 z5721 [it].

 4:34 But 1161 without 5565 a parable 3850 spake 2980 z5707 he not 3756 unto them: 846 and 1161 when they were alone, 2398 2596 he expounded 1956 z5707 all things 3956 to his y846 x848 disciples. 3101

 4:35 And 2532 the 1722 same 1565 day, 2250 when the even 3798 was come, 1096 z5637 he saith 3004 z5719 unto them, 846 Let us pass over 1330 z5632 unto 1519 the x3588 other side. 4008

 4:36 And 2532 when they had sent away 863 z5631 the x3588 multitude, 3793 they took 3880 z5719 him 846 even as 5613 he was 2258 z5713 in 1722 the x3588 ship. 4143 And 1161 there were 2258 z5713 also 2532 with 3326 him 846 other 243 little ships. 4142

 4:37 And 2532 there arose 1096 z5736 a great 3173 storm 2978 of wind, 417 and 1161 the x3588 waves 2949 beat 1911 z5707 into 1519 the x3588 ship, 4143 so that 5620 it 846 was y1072 z0 now y2235 full. 1072 z5745 x2235

 4:38 And 2532 he 846 was 2258 z5713 in 1909 the x3588 hinder part of the ship, 4403 asleep 2518 z5723 on 1909 a pillow: 4344 and 2532 they awake 1326 z5719 him, 846 and 2532 say 3004 z5719 unto him, 846 Master, 1320 carest 3199 z5719 thou 4671 not 3756 that 3754 we perish? 622 z5731

 4:39 And 2532 he arose, 1326 z5685 and rebuked 2008 z5656 the x3588 wind, 417 and 2532 said 2036 z5627 unto the x3588 sea, 2281 Peace, 4623 z5720 be still. 5392 z5770 And 2532 the x3588 wind 417 ceased, 2869 z5656 and 2532 there was 1096 z5633 a great 3173 calm. 1055

 4:40 And 2532 he said 2036 z5627 unto them, 846 Why 5101 are x2075 ye y2075 z5748 so 3779 fearful? 1169 how x4459 is it y4459 that ye have 2192 z5719 no 3756 faith? 4102

 4:41 And 2532 they feared 5399 z5675 exceedingly, 5401 3173 and 2532 said 3004 z5707 one y240 z0 to y4314 another, 240 x4314 What y5101 manner of man y686 x5101 is 2076 z5748 this, 3778 that 3754 even 2532 the x3588 wind 417 and 2532 the x3588 sea 2281 obey 5219 z5719 him? 846
