1And[G2532]he[G846]began[G756]again[G3825] to teach[G1321]by[G3844] the sea[G2281]side[G2281]: and[G2532] there was[G2258]gathered[G4863]unto[G4314]him[G846] a great[G4183]multitude[G3793], so that[G5620]he[G846]entered[G1684]into[G1519] a ship[G4143], and[G2532]sat[G2521]in[G1722] the sea[G2281]; and[G2532] the whole[G3956]multitude[G3793]was[G2258]by[G4314] the sea[G2281]on[G1909] the land[G1093].
2And[G2532] he taught[G1321]them[G846] many things[G4183]by[G1722]parables[G3850], and[G2532]said[G3004] unto them[G846]in[G1722]his[G846]doctrine[G1322],
3Hearken[G191]; Behold[G2400], there went out[G1831] a sower[G4687] to sow[G4687]:
4And[G2532]it[G846]came[G2064] to pass[G1096], as[G1722] he sowed[G4687], some[G3739]fell[G4098]by[G3844] the way side[G3598], and[G2532] the fowls[G4071] of the air[G3772]came[G2064]and[G2532]devoured[G2719]it[G846]up[G2719].
5And[G1161]some[G243]fell[G4098]on[G1909] stony ground[G4075], where[G3699] it had[G2192]not[G3756]much[G4183]earth[G1093]; and[G2532]immediately[G2112] it sprang up[G1816], because[G1223] it had[G2192]no[G3361]depth[G899] of earth[G1093]:
6But[G1161]when[G393] the sun[G2246] was up[G393], it was scorched[G2739]; and[G2532]because[G1223] it had[G2192]no[G3361]root[G4491], it withered away[G3583].
7And[G2532]some[G243]fell[G4098]among[G1519]thorns[G173], and[G2532] the thorns[G173] grew up[G305], and[G2532]choked[G4846]it[G846], and[G2532]it[G846]yielded[G1325]no[G3756]fruit[G2590].
8And[G2532]other[G243]fell[G4098]on[G1519]good[G2570]ground[G1093], and[G2532] did yield[G1325]fruit[G2590] that sprang up[G305]and[G2532]increased[G837]; and[G2532] brought forth[G5342], some[G1520]thirty[G5144], and[G2532]some[G1520]sixty[G1835], and[G2532]some[G1520] an hundred[G1540].
9And[G2532] he said[G3004] unto them[G846], He that hath[G2192]ears[G3775] to hear[G191], let him hear[G191].
10And[G1161]when[G3753] he was[G1096]alone[G2651], they that were about[G4012]him[G846]with[G4862] the twelve[G1427]asked[G2065] of him[G846] the parable[G3850].
11And[G2532] he said[G3004] unto them[G846], Unto you[G5213] it is given[G1325] to know[G1097] the mystery[G3466] of the kingdom[G932] of God[G2316]: but[G1161] unto them[G1565] that are without[G1854], all these things[G3956] are done[G1096]in[G1722]parables[G3850]:
12That[G2443]seeing[G991] they may see[G991], and[G2532]not[G3361]perceive[G1492]; and[G2532]hearing[G191] they may hear[G191], and[G2532]not[G3361]understand[G4920]; lest at any time[G3379] they should be converted[G1994], and[G2532] their sins[G265] should be forgiven[G863]them[G846].
13And[G2532] he said[G3004] unto them[G846], Know[G1097]ye[G1492]not[G3756]this[G5026]parable?[G3850]and[G2532] how then[G4459] will ye[G1492]know[G1097]all[G3956]parables?[G3850]
14
The sower[G4687]soweth[G4687] the word[G3056].
15And[G1161]these[G3778] are they[G1526]by[G3844] the way side[G3598], where[G3699] the word[G3056] is sown[G4687]; but[G2532]when[G3752]they[G1526] have heard[G191], Satan[G4567]cometh[G2064]immediately[G2112], and[G2532] taketh away[G142] the word[G3056] that was sown[G4687]in[G1722]their[G846]hearts[G2588].
16And[G2532]these[G3778] are they[G1526]likewise[G3668] which are sown[G4687]on[G1909] stony ground[G4075]; who[G3739], when[G3752]they[G1526] have heard[G191] the word[G3056], immediately[G2112]receive[G2983]it[G846]with[G3326]gladness[G5479];
17And[G2532]have[G2192]no[G3756]root[G4491]in[G1722]themselves[G1438], and[G235] so endure[G1526] but for[G1223] a time[G4340]: afterward[G1534], when affliction[G2347]or[G2228]persecution[G1375]ariseth[G1096]for[G1223] the word's sake[G3056], immediately[G2112] they are offended[G4624].
18And[G2532]these[G3778]are[G1526] they which are[G1526]sown[G4687]among[G1519]thorns[G173]; such as[G3778]hear[G191] the word[G3056],
19And[G2532] the cares[G3308]of[G4012]this[G5127]world[G165], and[G2532] the deceitfulness[G539]of[G4012]riches[G4149], and[G2532] the lusts[G1939]of[G4012] other things[G3062] entering in[G1531], choke[G4846] the word[G3056], and[G2532] it becometh[G1096]unfruitful[G175].
20And[G2532]these[G3778]are[G1526] they which are[G1526]sown[G4687]on[G1909]good[G2570]ground[G1093]; such as[G3748]hear[G191] the word[G3056], and[G2532]receive[G3858] it, and[G2532] bring forth fruit[G2592], some[G1520]thirtyfold[G5144], some[G2532]sixty[G1835], and[G2532]some[G2532] an hundred[G1540].
21And[G2532] he said[G3004] unto them[G846], Is[G3385] a candle[G3088]brought[G2064]to[G2443] be put[G5087]under[G5259] a bushel[G3426], or[G2228]under[G5259] a bed?[G2825]and[G2532]not[G3756]to[G2443] be set[G2007]on[G1909] a candlestick?[G3087]
22For[G1063] there is[G2076]nothing[G3756]hid[G2927], which[G3739]shall[G5319]not[G3362] be manifested[G5319]; neither[G3761] was any thing kept[G1096]secret[G614], but[G235]that[G2443] it should come[G2064]abroad[G1519].
23
If any man[G1536]have[G2192]ears[G3775] to hear[G191], let him hear[G191].
24And[G2532] he said[G3004] unto them[G846], Take heed[G991]what[G5101] ye hear[G191]: with[G1722]what[G3739]measure[G3358] ye mete[G3354], it shall be measured[G3354] to you[G5213]: and[G2532] unto you[G5213] that hear[G191] shall more be given[G4369].
25For[G1063] he that[G3739]hath[G2192], to him[G846] shall be given[G1325]: and[G2532] he that[G3739]hath[G2192]not[G3756], from[G575]him[G846] shall be taken[G142]even[G2532]that[G3739]which[G3739] he hath[G2192].
26And[G2532] he said[G3004], So[G3779]is[G2076] the kingdom[G932] of God[G2316], as[G5613]if[G1437] a man[G444] should cast[G906]seed[G4703]into[G1909] the ground[G1093];
27And[G2532] should sleep[G2518], and[G2532]rise[G1453]night[G3571]and[G2532]day[G2250], and[G2532] the seed[G4703] should spring[G985]and[G2532] grow up[G3373], he[G846]knoweth[G1492]not[G3756]how[G5613].
28For[G1063] the earth[G1093] bringeth forth fruit[G2592] of herself[G844]; first[G4412] the blade[G5528], then[G1534] the ear[G4719], after that[G1534] the full[G4134]corn[G4621]in[G1722] the ear[G4719].
29But[G1161]when[G3752] the fruit[G2590] is brought forth[G3860], immediately[G2112] he putteth in[G649] the sickle[G1407], because[G3754] the harvest[G2326] is come[G3936].
30And[G2532] he said[G3004], Whereunto[G5101] shall we liken[G3666] the kingdom[G932] of God?[G2316]or[G2228]with[G1722]what[G4169]comparison[G3850] shall we compare[G3846]it?[G846]
31
It is like[G5613] a grain[G2848] of mustard seed[G4615], which[G3739], when[G3752] it is sown[G4687]in[G1909] the earth[G1093], is less[G3398] than all[G3956] the seeds[G4690] that be[G2076]in[G1909] the earth[G1093]:
32But[G2532]when[G3752]it[G846] is sown[G4687], it[G846] groweth up[G305], and[G2532]becometh[G1096] greater than[G3187]all[G3956]herbs[G3001], and[G2532] shooteth out[G4160]great[G3173]branches[G2798]; so that[G5620] the fowls[G4071] of the air[G3772]may[G1410]lodge[G2681]under[G5259] the shadow[G4639] of it[G846].
33And[G2532] with many[G4183]such[G5108]parables[G3850] spake he[G2980] the word[G3056] unto them[G846], as[G2531] they were able[G1410] to hear[G191] it.
34But[G1161]without[G5565] a parable[G3850]spake[G2980] he not[G3756] unto them[G846]: and[G1161] when they were alone[G2398], he expounded[G1956] all things[G3956] to his[G846]disciples[G3101].
35And[G2532]the[G1722]same[G1565]day[G2250], when the[G1722]even[G3798] was come[G1096], he saith[G3004]unto[G1519]them[G846], Let us pass over[G1330]unto[G1519]the[G1722] other side[G4008].
36And[G2532] when they had sent away[G863] the multitude[G3793], they took[G3880]him[G846] even as[G5613] he was[G2258]in[G1722] the ship[G4143]. And[G1161] there were[G2258]also[G2532]with[G3326]him[G846]other[G243] little ships[G4142].
37And[G2532] there arose[G1096] a great[G3173]storm[G2978] of wind[G417], and[G1161] the waves[G2949]beat[G1911]into[G1519] the ship[G4143], so that[G5620]it[G846]was[G1072]now[G2235]full[G1072].
38And[G2532]he[G846]was[G2258]in[G1909] the hinder part of the ship[G4403], asleep[G2518]on[G1909] a pillow[G4344]: and[G2532] they awake[G1326]him[G846], and[G2532]say[G3004] unto him[G846], Master[G1320], carest[G3199]thou[G4671]not[G3756]that[G3754] we perish?[G622]
39And[G2532] he arose[G1326], and[G2532]rebuked[G2008] the wind[G417], and[G2532]said[G2036] unto the sea[G2281], Peace[G4623], be still[G5392]. And[G2532] the wind[G417]ceased[G2869], and[G2532] there was[G1096] a great[G3173]calm[G1055].
40And[G2532] he said[G2036] unto them[G846], Why[G5101] are ye[G2075]so[G3779]fearful?[G1169] how is it[G4459] that ye[G2075]have[G2192]no[G3756]faith?[G4102]
41And[G2532] they feared[G5399]exceedingly[G5401], and[G2532]said[G3004]one[G240]to[G4314]another[G240], What[G5101] manner of man[G686]is[G2076]this[G3778], that[G3754]even[G2532] the wind[G417]and[G2532] the sea[G2281]obey[G5219]him?[G846]
