4:1 | And <2532> he began <756> (5662) again <3825> to teach <1321> (5721) by <3844> the sea side <2281>: and <2532> there was gathered <4863> (5681) unto <4314> him <846> a great <4183> multitude <3793>, so that <5620> he <846> entered <1684> (5631) into <1519> a ship <4143>, and sat <2521> (5738) in <1722> the sea <2281>; and <2532> the whole <3956> multitude <3793> was <2258> (5713) by <4314> the sea <2281> on <1909> the land <1093>. |
4:2 | And <2532> he taught <1321> (5707) them <846> many things <4183> by <1722> parables <3850>, and <2532> said <3004> (5707) unto them <846> in <1722> his <846> doctrine <1322>, |
4:3 | Hearken <191> (5720); Behold <2400> (5628), there went out <1831> (5627) a sower <4687> (5723) to sow <4687> (5658): |
4:4 | And <2532> it came to pass <1096> (5633), as <1722> he sowed <4687> (5721), some <3739> <3303> fell <4098> (5627) by <3844> the way side <3598>, and <2532> the fowls <4071> of the air <3772> came <2064> (5627) and <2532> devoured <2719> (0) it <846> up <2719> (5627). |
4:5 | And <1161> some <243> fell <4098> (5627) on <1909> stony ground <4075>, where <3699> it had <2192> (5707) not <3756> much <4183> earth <1093>; and <2532> immediately <2112> it sprang up <1816> (5656), because <1223> it had <2192> (5721) no <3361> depth <899> of earth <1093>: |
4:6 | But <1161> when <393> (0) the sun <2246> was up <393> (5660), it was scorched <2739> (5681); and <2532> because <1223> it had <2192> (5721) no <3361> root <4491>, it withered away <3583> (5681). |
4:7 | And <2532> some <243> fell <4098> (5627) among <1519> thorns <173>, and <2532> the thorns <173> grew up <305> (5627), and <2532> choked <4846> (5656) it <846>, and <2532> it yielded <1325> (5656) no <3756> fruit <2590>. |
4:8 | And <2532> other <243> fell <4098> (5627) on <1519> good <2570> ground <1093>, and <2532> did yield <1325> (5707) fruit <2590> that sprang up <305> (5723) and <2532> increased <837> (5723); and <2532> brought forth <5342> (5707), some <1520> thirty <5144>, and <2532> some <1520> sixty <1835>, and <2532> some <1520> an hundred <1540>. |
4:9 | And <2532> he said <3004> (5707) unto them <846>, He that hath <2192> (5723) ears <3775> to hear <191> (5721), let him hear <191> (5720). |
4:10 | And <1161> when <3753> he was <1096> (5633) alone <2651>, they that were about <4012> him <846> with <4862> the twelve <1427> asked <2065> (5656) of him <846> the parable <3850>. |
4:11 | And <2532> he said <3004> (5707) unto them <846>, Unto you <5213> it is given <1325> (5769) to know <1097> (5629) the mystery <3466> of the kingdom <932> of God <2316>: but <1161> unto them <1565> that are without <1854>, all [these] things <3956> are done <1096> (5736) in <1722> parables <3850>: |
4:12 | That <2443> seeing <991> (5723) they may see <991> (5725), and <2532> not <3361> perceive <1492> (5632); and <2532> hearing <191> (5723) they may hear <191> (5725), and <2532> not <3361> understand <4920> (5725); lest at any time <3379> they should be converted <1994> (5661), and <2532> [their] sins <265> should be forgiven <863> (5686) them <846>. |
4:13 | And <2532> he said <3004> (5719) unto them <846>, Know ye <1492> (5758) not <3756> this <5026> parable <3850>? and <2532> how then <4459> will ye know <1097> (5695) all <3956> parables <3850>? |
4:14 | The sower <4687> (5723) soweth <4687> (5719) the word <3056>. |
4:15 | And <1161> these <3778> are they <1526> (5748) by <3844> the way side <3598>, where <3699> the word <3056> is sown <4687> (5743); but <2532> when <3752> they have heard <191> (5661), Satan <4567> cometh <2064> (5736) immediately <2112>, and <2532> taketh away <142> (5719) the word <3056> that was sown <4687> (5772) in <1722> their <846> hearts <2588>. |
4:16 | And <2532> these <3778> are they <1526> (5748) likewise <3668> which are sown <4687> (5746) on <1909> stony ground <4075>; who <3739>, when <3752> they have heard <191> (5661) the word <3056>, immediately <2112> receive <2983> (5719) it <846> with <3326> gladness <5479>; |
4:17 | And <2532> have <2192> (5719) no <3756> root <4491> in <1722> themselves <1438>, and <235> so endure <1526> (5748) but for a time <4340>: afterward <1534>, when affliction <2347> or <2228> persecution <1375> ariseth <1096> (5637) for <1223> the word's sake <3056>, immediately <2112> they are offended <4624> (5743). {offended: or, stumbled, or, caused to fall into sin} |
4:18 | And <2532> these <3778> are <1526> (5748) they which are <1526> (5748) sown <4687> (5746) among <1519> thorns <173>; such as <3778> hear <191> (5723) the word <3056>, |
4:19 | And <2532> the cares <3308> of this <5127> world <165>, and <2532> the deceitfulness <539> of riches <4149>, and <2532> the lusts <1939> of <4012> other things <3062> entering in <1531> (5740), choke <4846> (5719) the word <3056>, and <2532> it becometh <1096> (5736) unfruitful <175>. {lusts: or, inordinate desires} |
4:20 | And <2532> these <3778> are <1526> (5748) they which are sown <4687> (5651) on <1909> good <2570> ground <1093>; such as <3748> hear <191> (5719) the word <3056>, and <2532> receive <3858> (5736) [it], and <2532> bring forth fruit <2592> (5719), some <1520> thirtyfold <5144>, some <2532> <1520> sixty <1835>, and <2532> some <1520> an hundred <1540>. |
4:21 | And <2532> he said <3004> (5707) unto them <846>, Is <3385> a candle <3088> brought <2064> (5736) to <2443> be put <5087> (5686) under <5259> a bushel <3426>, or <2228> under <5259> a bed <2825>? and not <3756> to <2443> be set <2007> (5686) on <1909> a candlestick <3087>? {bushel: the word in the original signifieth a less measure} |
4:22 | For <1063> there is <2076> (5748) nothing <3756> hid <2927> <5100>, which <3739> shall <5319> (0) not <3362> be manifested <5319> (5686); neither <3761> was any thing kept <1096> (5633) secret <614>, but <235> that <2443> it should come <2064> (5632) abroad <1519> <5318>. |
4:23 | If any man <1536> have <2192> (5719) ears <3775> to hear <191> (5721), let him hear <191> (5720). |
4:24 | And <2532> he said <3004> (5707) unto them <846>, Take heed <991> (5720) what <5101> ye hear <191> (5719): with <1722> what <3739> measure <3358> ye mete <3354> (5719), it shall be measured <3354> (5701) to you <5213>: and <2532> unto you <5213> that hear <191> (5723) shall more be given <4369> (5701). |
4:25 | For <1063> <302> he that <3739> hath <2192> (5725), to him <846> shall be given <1325> (5701): and <2532> he that <3739> hath <2192> (5719) not <3756>, from <575> him <846> shall be taken <142> (5701) even <2532> that which <3739> he hath <2192> (5719). |
4:26 | And <2532> he said <3004> (5707), So <3779> is <2076> (5748) the kingdom <932> of God <2316>, as <5613> if <1437> a man <444> should cast <906> (5632) seed <4703> into <1909> the ground <1093>; |
4:27 | And <2532> should sleep <2518> (5725), and <2532> rise <1453> (5747) night <3571> and <2532> day <2250>, and <2532> the seed <4703> should spring <985> (5725) and <2532> grow up <3373> (5747), he <846> knoweth <1492> (5758) not <3756> how <5613>. |
4:28 | For <1063> the earth <1093> bringeth forth fruit <2592> (5719) of herself <844>; first <4412> the blade <5528>, then <1534> the ear <4719>, after that <1534> the full <4134> corn <4621> in <1722> the ear <4719>. |
4:29 | But <1161> when <3752> the fruit <2590> is brought forth <3860> (5632), immediately <2112> he putteth in <649> (5719) the sickle <1407>, because <3754> the harvest <2326> is come <3936> (5758). {brought...: or, ripe} |
4:30 | And <2532> he said <3004> (5707), Whereunto <5101> shall we liken <3666> (5661) the kingdom <932> of God <2316>? or <2228> with <1722> what <4169> comparison <3850> shall we compare <3846> (5632) it <846>? |
4:31 | [It is] like <5613> a grain <2848> of mustard seed <4615>, which <3739>, when <3752> it is sown <4687> (5652) in <1909> the earth <1093>, is less <3398> than all <3956> the seeds <4690> that be <2076> (5748) in <1909> the earth <1093>: |
4:32 | But <2532> when <3752> it is sown <4687> (5652), it groweth up <305> (5719), and <2532> becometh <1096> (5736) greater than <3187> all <3956> herbs <3001>, and <2532> shooteth out <4160> (5719) great <3173> branches <2798>; so that <5620> the fowls <4071> of the air <3772> may <1410> (5738) lodge <2681> (5721) under <5259> the shadow <4639> of it <846>. |
4:33 | And <2532> with many <4183> such <5108> parables <3850> spake he <2980> (5707) the word <3056> unto them <846>, as <2531> they were able <1410> (5711) to hear <191> (5721) [it]. |
4:34 | But <1161> without <5565> a parable <3850> spake <2980> (5707) he not <3756> unto them <846>: and <1161> when they were alone <2398> <2596>, he expounded <1956> (5707) all things <3956> to his <846> disciples <3101>. |
4:35 | And <2532> the <1722> same <1565> day <2250>, when the even <3798> was come <1096> (5637), he saith <3004> (5719) unto them <846>, Let us pass over <1330> (5632) unto <1519> the other side <4008>. |
4:36 | And <2532> when they had sent away <863> (5631) the multitude <3793>, they took <3880> (5719) him <846> even as <5613> he was <2258> (5713) in <1722> the ship <4143>. And <1161> there were <2258> (5713) also <2532> with <3326> him <846> other <243> little ships <4142>. |
4:37 | And <2532> there arose <1096> (5736) a great <3173> storm <2978> of wind <417>, and <1161> the waves <2949> beat <1911> (5707) into <1519> the ship <4143>, so that <5620> it <846> was <1072> (0) now <2235> full <1072> (5745). |
4:38 | And <2532> he <846> was <2258> (5713) in <1909> the hinder part of the ship <4403>, asleep <2518> (5723) on <1909> a pillow <4344>: and <2532> they awake <1326> (5719) him <846>, and <2532> say <3004> (5719) unto him <846>, Master <1320>, carest <3199> (5719) thou <4671> not <3756> that <3754> we perish <622> (5731)? |
4:39 | And <2532> he arose <1326> (5685), and rebuked <2008> (5656) the wind <417>, and <2532> said <2036> (5627) unto the sea <2281>, Peace <4623> (5720), be still <5392> (5770). And <2532> the wind <417> ceased <2869> (5656), and <2532> there was <1096> (5633) a great <3173> calm <1055>. |
4:40 | And <2532> he said <2036> (5627) unto them <846>, Why <5101> are ye <2075> (5748) so <3779> fearful <1169>? how is it <4459> that ye have <2192> (5719) no <3756> faith <4102>? |
4:41 | And <2532> they feared <5399> (5675) exceedingly <5401> <3173>, and <2532> said <3004> (5707) one <240> (0) to <4314> another <240>, What <5101> manner of man <686> is <2076> (5748) this <3778>, that <3754> even <2532> the wind <417> and <2532> the sea <2281> obey <5219> (5719) him <846>? |
