PARABLE OF THE SOWER--REASON FOR TEACHING IN PARABLES--PARABLES OF THE SEED GROWING WE KNOW NOT HOW, AND OF THE MUSTARD SEED. ( = Mat. 13:1-23, 31, 32; Luk 8:4-18). (Mark 4:1-34)
And he began again to teach by the seaside: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude--or, according to another well-supported reading, "a mighty" or "immense multitude."
so that he entered into a ship--rather, "the ship," meaning the one mentioned in Mar 3:9. (See on Mat 12:15).
and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land--crowded on the seashore to listen to Him. (See on Mat 13:1-2.) |

Mat 13:1; Luk 8:4. |
1 [1161] The same [1722] [1565] day [2250] went [1831] Jesus [2424] out of [575] the house [3614], and sat [2521] by [3844] the sea side [2281].
2 And [2532] great [4183] multitudes [3793] were gathered together [4863] unto [4314] him [846], so that [5620] he [846] went [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], and sat [2521]; and [2532] the whole [3956] multitude [3793] stood [2476] on [1909] the shore [123].
15 But [1161] when Jesus [2424] knew [1097] it, he withdrew himself [402] from thence [1564]: and [2532] great [4183] multitudes [3793] followed [190] him [846], and [2532] he healed [2323] them [846] all [3956];
9 And [2532] he spake [2036] to his [846] disciples [3101], that [2443] a small ship [4142] should wait on [4342] him [846] because [1223] of the multitude [3793], lest [3363] they should throng [2346] him [846].
4 And [1161] when much [4183] people [3793] were gathered together [4896], and [2532] were come [1975] to [4314] him [846] out of every [2596] city [4172], he spake [2036] by [1223] a parable [3850]:
5 A sower [4687] went out [1831] to sow [4687] his [846] seed [4703]: and [2532] as [1722] he [846] sowed [4687], some [3739] [3303] fell [4098] by [3844] the way side [3598]; and [2532] it was trodden down [2662], and [2532] the fowls [4071] of the air [3772] devoured [2719] it [846].
6 And [2532] some [2087] fell [4098] upon [1909] a rock [4073]; and [2532] as soon as it was sprung up [5453], it withered away [3583], because [1223] it lacked [3361] [2192] moisture [2429].
7 And [2532] some [2087] fell [4098] among [1722] [3319] thorns [173]; and [2532] the thorns [173] sprang up with it [4855], and choked [638] [1970] it [846].
8 And [2532] other [2087] fell [4098] on [1909] good [18] ground [1093], and [2532] sprang up [5453], and bare [4160] fruit [2590] an hundredfold [1542]. And when he had said [3004] these things [5023], he cried [5455], He that hath [2192] ears [3775] to hear [191], let him hear [191].
9 And [1161] his [846] disciples [3101] asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004], What [5101] might [1498] this [3778] parable [3850] be [1498]?
10 And [1161] he said [2036], Unto you [5213] it is given [1325] to know [1097] the mysteries [3466] of the kingdom [932] of God [2316]: but [1161] to others [3062] in [1722] parables [3850]; that [2443] seeing [991] they might [991] not [3361] see [991], and [2532] hearing [191] they might [4920] not [3361] understand [4920].
11 Now [1161] the parable [3850] is [2076] this [3778]: The seed [4703] is [2076] the word [3056] of God [2316].
12 Those [1161] by [3844] the way side [3598] are [1526] they that hear [191]; then [1534] cometh [2064] the devil [1228], and [2532] taketh away [142] the word [3056] out of [575] their [846] hearts [2588], lest [3363] they should believe [4100] and be saved [4982].
13 [1161] They on [1909] the rock [4073] are they, which [3739], when [3752] they hear [191], receive [1209] the word [3056] with [3326] joy [5479]; and [2532] these [3778] have [2192] no [3756] root [4491], which [3739] for [4314] a while [2540] believe [4100], and [2532] in [1722] time [2540] of temptation [3986] fall away [868].
14 And [1161] that which fell [4098] among [1519] thorns [173] are [1526] they [3778], which, when they have heard [191], go forth [4198], and [2532] are choked [4846] with [5259] cares [3308] and [2532] riches [4149] and [2532] pleasures [2237] of this life [979], and [2532] bring [5052] no [3756] fruit to perfection [5052].
15 But [1161] that on [1722] the good [2570] ground [1093] are [1526] they [3778], which [3748] in [1722] an honest [2570] and [2532] good [18] heart [2588], having heard [191] the word [3056], keep [2722] it, and [2532] bring forth fruit [2592] with [1722] patience [5281].
16 [1161] No man [3762], when he hath lighted [681] a candle [3088], covereth [2572] it [846] with a vessel [4632], or [2228] putteth [5087] it under [5270] a bed [2825]; but [235] setteth [2007] it on [1909] a candlestick [3087], that [2443] they which enter in [1531] may see [991] the light [5457].
17 For [1063] nothing [3756] is [2076] secret [2927], that [3739] shall [1096] not [3756] be made [1096] manifest [5318]; neither [3761] any thing hid [614], that [3739] shall [1097] not [3756] be known [1097] and [2532] come [2064] abroad [1519] [5318].
18 Take heed [991] therefore [3767] how [4459] ye hear [191]: for [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] hath [2192], to him [846] shall be given [1325]; and [2532] whosoever [3739] [302] hath [2192] not [3361], from [575] him [846] shall be taken [142] even [2532] that which [3739] he seemeth [1380] to have [2192].
1 [1161] The same [1722] [1565] day [2250] went [1831] Jesus [2424] out of [575] the house [3614], and sat [2521] by [3844] the sea side [2281].
2 And [2532] great [4183] multitudes [3793] were gathered together [4863] unto [4314] him [846], so that [5620] he [846] went [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], and sat [2521]; and [2532] the whole [3956] multitude [3793] stood [2476] on [1909] the shore [123].
3 And [2532] he spake [2980] many things [4183] unto them [846] in [1722] parables [3850], saying [3004], Behold [2400], a sower [4687] went forth [1831] to sow [4687];
4 And [2532] when [1722] he [846] sowed [4687], some [3739] [3303] seeds fell [4098] by [3844] the way side [3598], and [2532] the fowls [4071] came [2064] and [2532] devoured [2719] them [846] up [2719]:
5 Some [1161] [243] fell [4098] upon [1909] stony places [4075], where [3699] they had [2192] not [3756] much [4183] earth [1093]: and [2532] forthwith [2112] they sprung up [1816], because [1223] they had [2192] no [3361] deepness [899] of earth [1093]:
6 And [1161] when the sun [2246] was up [393], they were scorched [2739]; and [2532] because [1223] they had [2192] no [3361] root [4491], they withered away [3583].
7 And [1161] some [243] fell [4098] among [1909] thorns [173]; and [2532] the thorns [173] sprung up [305], and [2532] choked [638] them [846]:
8 But [1161] other [243] fell [4098] into [1909] good [2570] ground [1093], and [2532] brought forth [1325] fruit [2590], some [3739] [3303] an hundredfold [1540], [1161] some [3739] sixtyfold [1835], [1161] some [3739] thirtyfold [5144].
9 Who [3588] hath [2192] ears [3775] to hear [191], let him hear [191].
1 [1161] The same [1722] [1565] day [2250] went [1831] Jesus [2424] out of [575] the house [3614], and sat [2521] by [3844] the sea side [2281].
2 And [2532] great [4183] multitudes [3793] were gathered together [4863] unto [4314] him [846], so that [5620] he [846] went [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], and sat [2521]; and [2532] the whole [3956] multitude [3793] stood [2476] on [1909] the shore [123].
3 And [2532] he spake [2980] many things [4183] unto them [846] in [1722] parables [3850], saying [3004], Behold [2400], a sower [4687] went forth [1831] to sow [4687];
4 And [2532] when [1722] he [846] sowed [4687], some [3739] [3303] seeds fell [4098] by [3844] the way side [3598], and [2532] the fowls [4071] came [2064] and [2532] devoured [2719] them [846] up [2719]:
5 Some [1161] [243] fell [4098] upon [1909] stony places [4075], where [3699] they had [2192] not [3756] much [4183] earth [1093]: and [2532] forthwith [2112] they sprung up [1816], because [1223] they had [2192] no [3361] deepness [899] of earth [1093]:
6 And [1161] when the sun [2246] was up [393], they were scorched [2739]; and [2532] because [1223] they had [2192] no [3361] root [4491], they withered away [3583].
7 And [1161] some [243] fell [4098] among [1909] thorns [173]; and [2532] the thorns [173] sprung up [305], and [2532] choked [638] them [846]:
8 But [1161] other [243] fell [4098] into [1909] good [2570] ground [1093], and [2532] brought forth [1325] fruit [2590], some [3739] [3303] an hundredfold [1540], [1161] some [3739] sixtyfold [1835], [1161] some [3739] thirtyfold [5144].
9 Who [3588] hath [2192] ears [3775] to hear [191], let him hear [191].
7 But [2532] Jesus [2424] withdrew himself [402] with [3326] his [846] disciples [3101] to [4314] the sea [2281]: and [2532] a great [4183] multitude [4128] from [575] Galilee [1056] followed [190] him [846], and [2532] from [575] Judaea [2449],
8 And [2532] from [575] Jerusalem [2414], and [2532] from [575] Idumaea [2401], and [2532] from beyond [4008] Jordan [2446]; and [2532] they about [4012] Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605], a great [4183] multitude [4128], when they had heard [191] what great things [3745] he did [4160], came [2064] unto [4314] him [846].
9 And [2532] he spake [2036] to his [846] disciples [3101], that [2443] a small ship [4142] should wait on [4342] him [846] because [1223] of the multitude [3793], lest [3363] they should throng [2346] him [846].
4 And [1161] when much [4183] people [3793] were gathered together [4896], and [2532] were come [1975] to [4314] him [846] out of every [2596] city [4172], he spake [2036] by [1223] a parable [3850]:
1 [1161] The same [1722] [1565] day [2250] went [1831] Jesus [2424] out of [575] the house [3614], and sat [2521] by [3844] the sea side [2281].
