41_MAR_04_01 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 .
41_MAR_04_02 And he taught them Many things by parables , And said unto them in his doctrine ,
41_MAR_04_03 hearken ; behold , there went out A sower to sow :
41_MAR_04_04 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 .
41_MAR_04_05 And some fell on stony ground , where it had not much earth ; And immediately it sprang up , because it had no depth of earth :
41_MAR_04_06 but when the sun was up , it was scorched ; And because it had no root , it withered away .
41_MAR_04_07 And some fell among thorns , And the thorns grew up , And choked it , And it yielded no fruit .
41_MAR_04_08 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 .
41_MAR_04_09 And he said unto them , he that hath ears to hear , let him hear .
41_MAR_04_10 And when he was alone , they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable .
41_MAR_04_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 :
41_MAR_04_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 .
41_MAR_04_13 And he said unto them , know ye not this parable ? And how Then will ye know all parables ?
41_MAR_04_14 the sower soweth the word .
41_MAR_04_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 .
41_MAR_04_16 And These are they Likewise which are sown on stony ground ; who , when they have heard the word , immediately receive it with gladness ;
41_MAR_04_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 .
41_MAR_04_18 And These are they which are sown among thorns ; such as hear the word ,
41_MAR_04_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 .
41_MAR_04_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 .
41_MAR_04_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 ?
41_MAR_04_22 for there Is nothing hid , which shall not be manifested ; neither was any thing kept secret , but that it should come abroad .
41_MAR_04_23 if any man have ears to hear , let him hear .
41_MAR_04_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 .
41_MAR_04_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 .
41_MAR_04_26 And he said , So Is the kingdom of God , as if A man should cast seed into the ground ;
41_MAR_04_27 And should Sleep , And rise night And day , And the seed should spring And grow up , he knoweth not how .
41_MAR_04_28 for the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself ; first the blade , Then the ear , after that the full corn in the ear .
41_MAR_04_29 but when the fruit Is brought forth , immediately he putteth in the sickle , because the harvest Is come .
41_MAR_04_30 And he said , whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God ? or with what comparison shall we compare it ?
41_MAR_04_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 :
41_MAR_04_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 .
41_MAR_04_33 And with Many such parables spake he the word unto them , as they were able to hear [ it ] .
41_MAR_04_34 but without A parable spake he not unto them : And when they were alone , he expounded all things to his disciples .
41_MAR_04_35 And the same day , when the even was come , he saith unto them , let us pass over unto the other side .
41_MAR_04_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 .
41_MAR_04_37 And there arose A great storm of wind , And the waves beat into the ship , So that it was now full .
41_MAR_04_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 ?
41_MAR_04_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 .
41_MAR_04_40 And he said unto them , why are ye So fearful ? how Is it that ye have no faith ?
41_MAR_04_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 ?
