And there is gathered unto him a very great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land. 2 And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his teaching, 3 Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow: 4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some seed fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it. 5 And other fell on the rocky ground, where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth: 6 And when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 And other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and *choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8 And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold. 9 And he said, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow; and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them: 5 And others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6 And when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up, and *choked them : 8 And others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some * hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He that hath ears1, let him hear. VIII. 4-8. 4 And when a great multitude came together, and they of every city resorted unto him, he spake by a parable: 8 And other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. XIII. 10, 11, 13, ...15. 10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him... 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 15...Lest haply they should... 1 Some ancient authorities add here, and in ver. 43, to hear: as in Mark iv. 9, Luke viii. 8. VIII. 9-15. 9 And his disciples asked him, what this parable might be. 10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. St. Mark. [Portions not found in Matthew or Luke.] St. Mark. [Complete.] IV. IV. 10-20. 13 And he saith unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how shall ye know all the parables? 14 The sower soweth the word. 15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; and when they have heard, straightway cometh Satan, and taketh away the word which hath been sown in them. 16 And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy ; 17 And they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble. 18 And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word, 19 And the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 20 And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundred fold. 21 And he said unto them (Gr. that) Is the...brought (Gr. comes) to (Gr. in order that)...under the (bed) and not to (Gr. in order that)... IV. 21-25. 21 And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, and not to be put on the stand? Mark iv. 17, Matt. xiii. 21, endure (Gr. are), endureth (Gr. is). Mark iv. 17, Matt xiii. 21, for a while represents an adjective in Greek. 1 Or, age. |
