nasb Mark:4:21-25
nasb@Mark:4:21 @And He was saying to them, " A lamp is not brought to be put under a basket, is it, or under a bed? Is it not brought to be put on the lampstand?
nasb@Mark:4:22" @ For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light.
nasb@Mark:4:23" @ If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
nasb@Mark:4:24 @And He was saying to them, "Take care what you listen to. By your standard of measure it will be measured to you; and more will be given you besides.
nasb@Mark:4:25" @ For whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him."
nasb@Mark:4:26 @And He was saying, "The kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil;
nasb@Mark:4:27 @and he goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows--how, he himself does not know.
nasb@Mark:4:28" @The soil produces crops by itself; first the blade, then the head, then the mature grain in the head.
nasb@Mark:4:29" @But when the crop permits, he immediately puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."
nasb@Mark:4:30 @And He said, "How shall we picture the kingdom of God, or by what parable shall we present it?
nasb@Mark:4:31" @It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil,
nasb@Mark:4:32 @yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR can NEST UNDER ITS SHADE."
nasb@Mark:4:33 @With many such parables He was speaking the word to them, so far as they were able to hear it;
nasb@Mark:4:34 @and He did not speak to them without a parable; but He was explaining everything privately to His own disciples.
nasb@Mark:4:35 @On that day, when evening came, He said to them, "Let us go over to the other side."
nasb@Mark:4:36 @Leaving the crowd, they took Him along with them in the boat, just as He was; and other boats were with Him.
nasb@Mark:4:37 @And there arose a fierce gale of wind, and the waves were breaking over the boat so much that the boat was already filling up.
nasb@Mark:4:38 @Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him and said to Him, "Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?"
nasb@Mark:4:39 @And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Hush, be still." And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm.
nasb@Mark:4:40 @And He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
nasb@Mark:4:41 @They became very much afraid and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey HimNULL"
