Mark:4:1 @
And again he began to teach by the sea side .
And there is gathered unto him a very great multitude ,
so that he entered into a boat ,
and sat in the sea ;
and all the multitude were by the sea on the land .
asv @
Mark:4:2 @
And he taught them many things in parables ,
and said unto them in his teaching ,
asv @
Mark:4:3 @
Hearken :
Behold ,
the sower went forth to sow :
asv @
Mark:4:4 @
and it came to pass ,
as he sowed ,
some [
seed ]
fell by the way side ,
and the birds came and devoured it .
asv @
Mark:4:5 @
And other fell on the rocky [
ground ],
where it had not much earth ;
and straightway it sprang up ,
because it had no deepness of earth :
asv @
Mark:4:6 @
and when the sun was risen ,
it was scorched ;
and because it had no root ,
it withered away .
asv @
Mark:4:7 @
And other fell among the thorns ,
and the thorns grew up ,
and choked it ,
and it yielded no fruit .
asv @
Mark:4:8 @
And others fell into the good ground ,
and yielded fruit ,
growing up and increasing ;
and brought forth ,
thirtyfold ,
and sixtyfold ,
and a hundredfold .
asv @
Mark:4:9 @
And he said ,
Who hath ears to hear ,
let him hear .
asv @
Mark:4:10 @
And when he was alone ,
they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parables .
asv @
Mark:4:11 @
And he said unto them ,
Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God :
but unto them that are without ,
all things are done in parables :
asv @
Mark:4:12 @
that seeing they may see ,
and not perceive ;
and hearing they may hear ,
and not understand ;
lest haply they should turn again ,
and it should be forgiven them .
asv @
Mark:4:13 @
And he saith unto them ,
Know ye not this parable ?
and how shall ye know all the parables ?
asv @
Mark:4:14 @
The sower soweth the word .
asv @
Mark:4:15 @
And these are they by the way side ,
where the word is sown ;
and when they have heard ,
straightway cometh Satan ,
and taketh away the word which hath been sown in them .
asv @
Mark:4:16 @
And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky [
places ],
who ,
when they have heard the word ,
straightway receive it with joy ;
asv @
Mark:4:17 @
and they have no root in themselves ,
but endure for a while ;
then ,
when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word ,
straightway they stumble .
asv @
Mark:4:18 @
And others are they that are sown among the thorns ;
these are they that have heard the word ,
asv @
Mark:4:19 @
and the cares of the world ,
and the deceitfulness of riches ,
and the lusts of other things entering in ,
choke the word ,
and it becometh unfruitful .
asv @
Mark:4:20 @
And those are they that were sown upon the good ground ;
such as hear the word ,
and accept it ,
and bear fruit ,
thirtyfold ,
and sixtyfold ,
and a hundredfold .
