Mark:4:1-20

asv@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.
