1
He began
to teach
again
by the sea.
And such a very large
crowd
gathered
to Him that He got
into a boat
in the sea
and sat down;
and the whole
crowd
was by the sea
on the land.
2
And He was teaching
them many things
in parables,
and was saying
to them in His teaching,
3
"Listen
to this! Behold,
the sower
went
out to sow;
4
as he was sowing,
some
seed fell
beside
the road,
and the birds
came
and ate
it up.
5
"Other
seed fell
on the rocky
ground where
it did
no
t have
much
soil;
and immediately
it sprang
up because
it had
no
depth
of soil.
6
"And after
the sun
had risen,
it was scorched;
and because
it had
no
root,
it withered away.
7
"Other
seed fell
among
the thorns,
and the thorns
came
up and choked
it, and it yielded
no
crop.
8
"Other
seeds fell
into the good
soil,
and as they grew
up and increased,
they yielded
a crop
and produced
thirty,
sixty,
and a hundredfold."
9
And He was saying,
"He who
has
ears
to hear,
let him hear."
10
As soon
as He was alone,
His followers,
along
with the twelve,
began asking
Him about the parables.
11
And He was saying
to them, "To you has been given
the mystery
of the kingdom
of God,
but those
who are outside
get
everything
in parables,
12
so
that WHILE SEEING,
THEY MAY SEE
AND NOT PERCEIVE,
AND WHILE HEARING,
THEY MAY HEAR
AND NOT UNDERSTAND,
OTHERWISE
THEY MIGHT RETURN
AND BE FORGIVEN."
13
And He said
to them, "Do you not understand
this
parable?
How
will you understand
all
the parables?
14
"The sower
sows
the word.
15
"These
are the ones who
are beside
the road
where
the word
is sown;
and when
they hear,
immediately
Satan
comes
and takes away
the word
which has been sown
in them.
16
"In a similar way
these
are the ones on whom seed was sown
on the rocky
places, who,
when
they hear
the word,
immediately
receive
it with joy;
17
and they have
no
firm root
in themselves,
but are only temp
or
ary;
then,
when affliction
or
persecution
arises
because
of the w
or
d,
immediately
they fall away.
18
"And others
are the ones on whom seed was sown
among
the thorns;
these
are the ones who have heard
the word,
19
but the worries
of the world,
and the deceitfulness
of riches,
and the desires
for other things
enter
in and choke
the word,
and it becomes
unfruitful.
20
"And those
are the ones on whom seed was sown
on the good
soil;
and they hear
the word
and accept
it and bear fruit,
thirty,
sixty,
and a hundredfold."
21
And He was saying
to them, "A lamp
is not brought
to be put
under
a basket,
is it, or
under
a bed?
Is it not brought
to be put
on the lampstand?
22
"For nothing
is hidden,
except
to be revealed;
nor
has anything been
secret,
but that it would come
to light.
23
"If
anyone
has
ears
to hear,
let him hear."
24
And He was saying
to them, "Take care
what
you listen
to. By your standard
of measure
it will be measured
to you; and more will be given you besides.
25
"For whoever
has,
to him more shall be given;
and whoever
does not have,
even
what
he has
shall be taken away
from him."
26
And He was saying,
"The kingdom
of God
is like
a man
who casts
seed
upon the soil;
27
and he goes to bed
at night
and gets
up by day,
and the seed
sprouts
and grows--
how,
he himself
does not know.
28
"The soil
produces crops
by itself;
first
the blade,
then
the head,
then
the mature
grain
in the head.
29
"But when
the crop
permits,
he immediately
puts
in the sickle,
because
the harvest
has come."
30
And He said,
"How
shall we picture
the kingdom
of God,
or
by what
parable
shall we present
it?
31
"It is like
a mustard
seed,
which,
when
sown
upon the soil,
though it is smaller
than all
the seeds
that are
upon the soil,
32
yet
when
it is
so
wn,
it grows
up and becomes
large
r
than all
the garden plants
and forms
large
branches;
so
that THE BIRDS
OF THE AIR
can
NEST
UNDER
ITS SHADE."
33
With many
such
parables
He was speaking
the word
to them, so
far as they were able
to hear
it;
34
and He did not speak
to them without
a parable;
but He was explaining
everything
privately
to His own
disciples.
35
On that day,
when evening
came,
He said
to them, "Let us go over
to the other side."
36
Leaving
the crowd,
they took Him along
with them in the boat,
just
as He was; and other
boats
were with Him.
37
And there arose
a fierce
gale
of wind,
and the waves
were breaking over
the boat
so
much that
the boat
was already
filling
up.
38
Jesus Himself
was in the stern,
asleep
on the cushion;
and they woke
Him and said
to Him, "Teacher,
do You not care
that we are perishing?"
39
And He got
up and rebuked
the wind
and said
to the sea,
"Hush,
be still."
And
the wind
died down
and it became
perfectly
calm.
40
And He said
to them, "Why
are you afraid?
Do you still
have
no
faith?"
41
They became very much
afraid
and said
to one another,
"Who
then
is this,
that even
the wind
and the sea
obey
Him?"
