rwbs@Mark:4:1 @ And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered to him a great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat on the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

rwbs@Mark:4:2 @ And he taught them many things by parables, and said to them in his doctrine,

rwbs@Mark:4:3 @ Hearken; Behold, a sower went out to sow:

rwbs@Mark:4:4 @ And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it.

rwbs@Mark:4:5 @ And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

rwbs@Mark:4:6 @ But when the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

rwbs@Mark:4:7 @ And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

rwbs@Mark:4:8 @ And other fell on good ground, and yielded fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

rwbs@Mark:4:9 @ And he said to them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

rwbs@Mark:4:10 @ And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

rwbs@Mark:4:11 @ And he said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are outside, all things are done in parables:

rwbs@Mark:4:12 @ 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 sins should be forgiven them.

rwbs@Mark:4:13 @ And he said to them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

rwbs@Mark:4:14 @ The sower soweth the word.

rwbs@Mark:4:15 @ 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.

rwbs@Mark:4:16 @ And these are they likewise who are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

rwbs@Mark:4:17 @ 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 fall away. (note:)offended: or, stumbled, or, caused to fall into sin(:note)

rwbs@Mark:4:18 @ And these are they who are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

rwbs@Mark:4:19 @ 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. (note:)lusts: or, inordinate desires(:note)

rwbs@Mark:4:20 @ And these are they who are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

rwbs@Mark:4:21 @ And he said to them, Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket, or under a bed? and not to be set on a lampstand? (note:)bushel: the word in the original signifieth a less measure(:note)

rwbs@Mark:4:22 @ For there is nothing hid, which shall not be revealed; neither hath any thing been kept secret, but that it should come to light.

rwbs@Mark:4:23 @ If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.

rwbs@Mark:4:24 @ And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear: with the measure which ye measure, it shall be measured to you: and to you that hear shall more be given.

rwbs@Mark:4:25 @ For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

rwbs@Mark:4:26 @ And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

rwbs@Mark:4:27 @ And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

rwbs@Mark:4:28 @ For the earth bringeth forth fruit of itself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the ripe grain in the head.

rwbs@Mark:4:29 @ But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. (note:)brought…: or, ripe(:note)

rwbs@Mark:4:30 @ And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

rwbs@Mark:4:31 @ like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth:

rwbs@Mark:4:32 @ 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 its shadow.

rwbs@Mark:4:33 @ And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear.

rwbs@Mark:4:34 @ But without a parable he spoke not to them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

rwbs@Mark:4:35 @ And the same day, when the evening was come, he saith to them, Let us pass over to the other side.

rwbs@Mark:4:36 @ And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the boat. And there were also with him other little boats.

rwbs@Mark:4:37 @ And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was now full.

rwbs@Mark:4:38 @ And he was in the stern of the boat, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

rwbs@Mark:4:39 @ And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

rwbs@Mark:4:40 @ And he said to them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

rwbs@Mark:4:41 @ And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
