ylt @Mark:4:1 @And again he began to teach by the sea , and there was gathered unto him a great multitude , so that he , having gone into the boat , sat in the sea , and all the multitude was near the sea , on the land , ylt @Mark:4:2 @and he taught them many things in similes , and he said to them in his teaching : ylt @Mark:4:3 @'Hearken , lo , the sower went forth to sow ; ylt @Mark:4:4 @and it came to pass , in the sowing , some fell by the way , and the fowls of the heaven did come and devour it ; ylt @Mark:4:5 @and other fell upon the rocky ground , where it had not much earth , and immediately it sprang forth , because of not having depth of earth , ylt @Mark:4:6 @and the sun having risen , it was scorched , and because of not having root it did wither ; ylt @Mark:4:7 @and other fell toward the thorns , and the thorns did come up , and choke it , and fruit it gave not ; ylt @Mark:4:8 @and other fell to the good ground , and was giving fruit , coming up and increasing , and it bare , one thirty-fold , and one sixty , and one an hundred .' ylt @Mark:4:9 @And he said to them , 'He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear .' ylt @Mark:4:10 @And when he was alone , those about him , with the twelve , did ask him of the simile , ylt @Mark:4:11 @and he said to them , 'To you it hath been given to know the secret of the reign of God , but to those who are without , in similes are all the things done ; ylt @Mark:4:12 @that seeing they may see and not perceive , and hearing they may hear and not understand , lest they may turn , and the sins may be forgiven them .' ylt @Mark:4:13 @And he saith to them , 'Have ye not known this simile ? and how shall ye know all the similes ? ylt @Mark:4:14 @He who is sowing doth sow the word ; ylt @Mark:4:15 @and these are they by the way where the word is sown : and whenever they may hear , immediately cometh the Adversary , and he taketh away the word that hath been sown in their hearts . ylt @Mark:4:16 @'And these are they , in like manner , who on the rocky ground are sown : who , whenever they may hear the word , immediately with joy do receive it , ylt @Mark:4:17 @and have not root in themselves , but are temporary ; afterward tribulation or persecution having come because of the word , immediately they are stumbled . ylt @Mark:4:18 @'And these are they who toward the thorns are sown : these are they who are hearing the word , ylt @Mark:4:19 @and the anxieties of this age , and the deceitfulness of the riches , and the desires concerning the other things , entering in , choke the word , and it becometh unfruitful . ylt @Mark:4:20 @'And these are they who on the good ground have been sown : who do hear the word , and receive , and do bear fruit , one thirty-fold , and one sixty , and one an hundred .'
