Mark:4:1-20

acv@Mark:4:1 @ And again he began to teach by the sea. And a great multitude was gathered to him, so as for him, after entering into the boat, to sit on the sea, and all the multitude was by the sea on the land.

acv@Mark:4:2 @ And he taught them many things in parables, and said to them in his teaching,

acv@Mark:4:3 @ Listen. Behold, the man who sows went forth to sow.

acv@Mark:4:4 @ And it came to pass during the sowing, some fell by the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

acv@Mark:4:5 @ And others fell on the rocky ground where it had not much soil. And straightaway it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.

acv@Mark:4:6 @ And when the sun was risen it was scorched, and because it had no root it dried out.

acv@Mark:4:7 @ And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it gave no fruit.

acv@Mark:4:8 @ And others fell into the good ground and gave fruit, coming up and increasing, and brought forth, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.

acv@Mark:4:9 @ And he said, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

acv@Mark:4:10 @ And when he became alone, those around him, with the twelve, asked him the parable.

acv@Mark:4:11 @ And he said to them, To you is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those outside, all things occur in parables.

acv@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 the sins would be forgiven them.

acv@Mark:4:13 @ And he says to them, Do ye not know this parable? And how will ye understand all the parables?

acv@Mark:4:14 @ The man who sows sows the word.

acv@Mark:4:15 @ And these are those by the path where the word is sown. And whenever they may hear, straightaway Satan comes, and takes away the word that has been sown in their hearts.

acv@Mark:4:16 @ And these in like manner are those being sown upon the rocky places, who, whenever they may hear the word, straightaway receive it with joy.

acv@Mark:4:17 @ And they have no root in themselves, but are temporary. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution develops because of the word, straightaway they are caused to stumble.

acv@Mark:4:18 @ And these are those being sown in the thorns, who hear the word,

acv@Mark:4:19 @ and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of wealth, and the cravings about other things entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

acv@Mark:4:20 @ And these are those that were sown upon the good ground, who hear the word and receive it, and bear fruit, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.
