emtv - Mark:4:1-20

emtv@Mark:4:1 @ And again He began to teach beside the sea. And a large crowd was gathered to Him, so that He got aboard into the boat, and sat on the sea; and all the crowd was upon the land by the sea.

emtv@Mark:4:2 @ And He was teaching them many [things] by parables, and said to them in His teaching:

emtv@Mark:4:3 @ "Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow.

emtv@Mark:4:4 @ And it happened, as he sowed, that some [seed] fell alongside the road; and the birds came and devoured it.

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

emtv@Mark:4:6 @ But when the sun rose it was scorched, and because it had no root it was withered up.

emtv@Mark:4:7 @ And some [seed ]fell into the thorns; and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

emtv@Mark:4:8 @ But other [seed ]fell on good ground, and it was yielding fruit coming up and growing, and it was producing-some thirty[fold], some sixty[,] and some a hundred."

emtv@Mark:4:9 @ And He said, "He that has ears to hear, let him hear!"

emtv@Mark:4:10 @ But when He was by himself, those around Him together with the twelve asked Him about the parable.

emtv@Mark:4:11 @ And He said to them, "Unto you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come to be [spoken] in parables,

emtv@Mark:4:12 @ so that 'Seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand; Lest they should turn, and their sins be forgiven them.' "

emtv@Mark:4:13 @ And He said to them, "Do you not know this parable? How then will you know all the parables?

emtv@Mark:4:14 @ The sower sows the word.

emtv@Mark:4:15 @ And these are the [seeds] beside the road where the word is sown, and whenever they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which was sown in their hearts.

emtv@Mark:4:16 @ And these are similarly the [seeds] being sown on stony ground which, whenever they hear the word, immediately they receive it with joy;

emtv@Mark:4:17 @ and they have no root in themselves, but are shortlived. Afterward, when trials or persecution arise because of the word, immediately they fall away.

emtv@Mark:4:18 @ And these are the [seeds] being sown in the thorns; they are the [ones] who are hearing the word,

emtv@Mark:4:19 @ and the anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things coming in choke out the word, and it becomes fruitless.

emtv@Mark:4:20 @ And these are the [seeds] sown on good ground, such as who hear the word and welcome it, and bear fruit: some thirty [fold], some sixty, and some a hundred."
