drb @Mark:4:1 @And again he began to teach by the sea side ; and a great multitude was gathered together unto him , so that he went up into a ship , and sat in the sea ; and all the multitude was upon the land by the sea side . drb @Mark:4:2 @And he taught them many things in parables , and said unto them in his doctrine : drb @Mark:4:3 @Hear ye : Behold , the sower went out to sow . drb @Mark:4:4 @And whilst he sowed , some fell by the way side , and the birds of the air came and ate it up . drb @Mark:4:5 @And other some fell upon stony ground , where it had not much earth ; and it shot up immediately , because it had no depth of earth . drb @Mark:4:6 @And when the sun was risen , it was scorched ; and because it had no root , it withered away . drb @Mark:4:7 @And some fell among thorns ; and the thorns grew up , and choked it , and it yielded no fruit . drb @Mark:4:8 @And some fell upon good ground ; and brought forth fruit that grew up , and increased and yielded , one thirty , another sixty , and another a hundred . drb @Mark:4:9 @And he said : He that hath ears to hear , let him hear . drb @Mark:4:10 @And when he was alone , the twelve that were with him asked him the parable drb @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 without , all things are done in parables : drb @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 their sins should be forgiven them . drb @Mark:4:13 @And he saith to them : Are you ignorant of this parable ? and how shall you know all parables ? drb @Mark:4:14 @He that soweth , soweth the word . drb @Mark:4:15 @And these are they by the way side , where the word is sown , and as soon as they have heard , immediately Satan cometh and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts . drb @Mark:4:16 @And these likewise are they that are sown on the stony ground : who when they have heard the word , immediately recieve it with joy . drb @Mark:4:17 @And they have no root in themselves , but are only for a time : and then when tribulation and persecution ariseth for the word they are presently scandalized . drb @Mark:4:18 @And others there are who are sown among thorns : these are they that hear the word , drb @Mark:4:19 @And the cares of the world , and the deceitfulness of riches , and the lusts after other things entering in choke the word , and it is made fruitless . drb @Mark:4:20 @And these are they who are sown upon the good ground , who hear the word , and receive it , and yield fruit , the one thirty , another sixty , and another a hundred .
