4 And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming unto him, he spake by a simile:
And when a very great multitude was gathered together, and hastened out of the cities unto him, he spoke by a similitude.
5 'The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the heaven did devour it.
The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 'And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it did wither, through not having moisture.
And other some fell upon a rock: and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 'And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, did choke it.
And other some fell among thorns, and the thorns growing up with it, choked it.
8 'And other fell upon the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit an hundred fold.' These things saying, he was calling, 'He having ears to hear — let him hear.'
And other some fell upon good ground; and being sprung up, yielded fruit a hundredfold. Saying these things, he cried out: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 And his disciples were questioning him, saying, 'What may this simile be?'
And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.
10 And he said, 'To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see, and hearing may not understand.
11 'And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God,
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 and those beside the way are those hearing, then cometh the Devil, and taketh up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.
And they by the way side are they that hear; then the devil cometh, and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved.
13 'And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
Now they upon the rock, are they who when they hear, receive the word with joy: and these have no roots; for they believe for a while, and in time of temptation, they fall away.
14 'And that which fell to the thorns: These are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and bear not to completion.
And that which fell among thorns, are they who have heard, and going their way, are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and yield no fruit.
15 'And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain [it], and bear fruit in continuance.
But that on the good ground, are they who in a good and perfect heart, hearing the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit in patience.
16 'And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a vessel, or under a couch doth put [it]; but upon a lamp-stand he doth put [it], that those coming in may see the light,
Now no man lighting a candle covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it upon a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.
17 for nothing is secret, that shall not become manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known, and become manifest.
For there is not any thing secret that shall not be made manifest, nor hidden, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 'See, therefore, how ye hear, for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.'
Take heed therefore how you hear. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given: and whosoever hath not, that also which he thinketh he hath, shall be taken away from him.
19 And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude,

20 and it was told him, saying, 'Thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, wishing to see thee;'

21 and he answering said unto them, 'My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.'
Who answering, said to them: My mother and my brethren are they who hear the word of God, and do it.

And when they were sailing, he slept; and there came down a storm of wind upon the lake, and they were filled, and were in danger.

And he said to them: Where is your faith? Who being afraid, wondered, saying one to another: Who is this, (think you), that he commandeth both the winds and the sea, and they obey him?

The devils therefore went out of the man, and entered into the swine; and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were stifled.

Which when they that fed them saw done, they fled away, and told it in the city and in the villages.

And they also that had seen, told them how he had been healed from the legion.
37 And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back.
And all the multitude of the country of the Gerasens besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear. And he, going up into the ship, returned back again.
38 And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,
Now the man, out of whom the devils were departed, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying:
39 'Turn back to thy house, and tell how great things God did to thee;' and he went away through all the city proclaiming how great things Jesus did to him.
Return to thy house, and tell how great things God hath done to thee. And he went through the whole city, publishing how great things Jesus had done to him.
