Mark:4:1-20
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And he began (
5662 )
again to teach (
5721 )
by the sea side :
and there was gathered (
5681 )
unto him a great multitude ,
so that he entered (
5631 )
into a ship ,
and sat (
5738 )
in the sea ;
and the whole multitude was (
5713 )
by the sea on the land .
*
And he taught (
5707 )
them many things by parables ,
and said (
5707 )
unto them in his doctrine ,
*
Hearken (
5720 );
Behold (
5628 ),
there went out (
5627 )
a sower (
5723 )
to sow (
5658 ):
*
And it came to pass (
5633 ),
as he sowed (
5721 ),
some fell (
5627 )
by the way side ,
and the fowls of the air came (
5627 )
and devoured it up (
5627 ).
*
And some fell (
5627 )
on stony ground ,
where it had (
5707 )
not much earth ;
and immediately it sprang up (
5656 ),
because it had (
5721 )
no depth of earth :
*
But when the sun was up (
5660 ),
it was scorched (
5681 );
and because it had (
5721 )
no root ,
it withered away (
5681 ).
*
And some fell (
5627 )
among thorns ,
and the thorns grew up (
5627 ),
and choked (
5656 )
it ,
and it yielded (
5656 )
no fruit .
*
And other fell (
5627 )
on good ground ,
and did yield (
5707 )
fruit that sprang up (
5723 )
and increased (
5723 );
and brought forth (
5707 ),
some thirty ,
and some sixty ,
and some an hundred .
*
And he said (
5707 )
unto them ,
He that hath (
5723 )
ears to hear (
5721 ),
let him hear (
5720 ).
*
And when he was (
5633 )
alone ,
they that were about him with the twelve asked (
5656 )
of him the parable .
*
And he said (
5707 )
unto them ,
Unto you it is given (
5769 )
to know (
5629 )
the mystery of the kingdom of God :
but unto them that are without ,
all these things are done (
5736 )
in parables :
*
That seeing (
5723 )
they may see (
5725 ),
and not perceive (
5632 );
and hearing (
5723 )
they may hear (
5725 ),
and not understand (
5725 );
lest at any time they should be converted (
5661 ),
and their sins should be forgiven (
5686 )
them .
*
And he said (
5719 )
unto them ,
Know ye (
5758 )
not this parable ?
and how then will ye know (
5695 )
all parables ?
*
The sower (
5723 )
soweth (
5719 )
the word .
*
And these are they (
5748 )
by the way side ,
where the word is sown (
5743 );
but when they have heard (
5661 ),
Satan cometh (
5736 )
immediately ,
and taketh away (
5719 )
the word that was sown (
5772 )
in their hearts .
*
And these are they (
5748 )
likewise which are sown (
5746 )
on stony ground ;
who ,
when they have heard (
5661 )
the word ,
immediately receive (
5719 )
it with gladness ;
*
And have (
5719 )
no root in themselves ,
and so endure (
5748 )
but for a time :
afterward ,
when affliction or persecution ariseth (
5637 )
for the words sake ,
immediately they are offended (
5743 ).
*
And these are (
5748 )
they which are (
5748 )
sown (
5746 )
among thorns ;
such as hear (
5723 )
the word ,
*
And the cares of this world ,
and the deceitfulness of riches ,
and the lusts of other things entering in (
5740 ),
choke (
5719 )
the word ,
and it becometh (
5736 )
unfruitful .
*
And these are (
5748 )
they which are sown (
5651 )
on good ground ;
such as hear (
5719 )
the word ,
and receive (
5736 )
it ,
and bring forth fruit (
5719 ),
some thirtyfold ,
some sixty ,
and some an hundred .
