Mark 4
1 And again he began to teach by the sea. And a great crowd was gathered together to him, so that going on board ship he sat in the sea, and all the crowd were close to the sea on the land.
Καὶ πάλιν ἤρξατο διδάσκειν παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν. καὶ ⸀συνάγεταιπρὸς αὐτὸν ὄχλος ⸀πλεῖστος ὥστε αὐτὸν ⸂εἰς πλοῖον ἐμβάντα καθῆσθαι ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος πρὸς τὴν θάλασσαν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ⸀ἦσαν
2 And he taught them many things in parables. And he said to them in his doctrine,
καὶ ἐδίδασκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν παραβολαῖς πολλά, καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ·
3 Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow.
Ἀκούετε. ἰδοὺ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ ⸀σπείρωνσπεῖραι.
4 And it came to pass as he sowed, one fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured it.
καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ σπείρειν ὃ μὲν ἔπεσεν παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν, καὶ ἦλθεν τὰ πετεινὰ καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτό.
5 And another fell on the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprung up out [of the ground] because it had no depth of earth;
⸂καὶ ἄλλο ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸ πετρῶδες ⸀ὅπουοὐκ εἶχεν γῆν πολλήν, καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἐξανέτειλεν διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν βάθος γῆς·
6 and when the sun arose it was burnt up, and because of its not having any root, it withered.
⸂καὶ ὅτε ἀνέτειλεν ὁ ἥλιος ⸀ἐκαυματίσθηκαὶ διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν ῥίζαν ἐξηράνθη.
7 And another fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
καὶ ἄλλο ἔπεσεν εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας, καὶ ἀνέβησαν αἱ ἄκανθαι καὶ συνέπνιξαν αὐτό, καὶ καρπὸν οὐκ ἔδωκεν.
8 And another fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and bore, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.
καὶ ⸀ἄλλαἔπεσεν εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν καλήν, καὶ ἐδίδου καρπὸν ἀναβαίνοντα καὶ ⸀αὐξανόμενα καὶ ἔφερεν ⸂ἓν τριάκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑξήκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑκατόν.
9 And he said, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
καὶ ἔλεγεν· ⸂Ὃς ἔχει ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω.
10 And when he was alone, those about him with the twelve asked him [as to] the parables.
⸂Καὶ ὅτε ἐγένετο κατὰ μόνας, ⸀ἠρώτωναὐτὸν οἱ περὶ αὐτὸν σὺν τοῖς δώδεκα ⸂τὰς παραβολάς.
11 And he said to them, To you is given [to know] the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them who are without, all things are done in parables,
καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· Ὑμῖν ⸂τὸ μυστήριον δέδοται τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ· ἐκείνοις δὲ τοῖς ἔξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τὰ πάντα γίνεται,
12 that beholding they may behold and not see, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest it may be, they should be converted and they should be forgiven.
ἵνα βλέποντες βλέπωσι καὶ μὴ ἴδωσιν, καὶ ἀκούοντες ἀκούωσι καὶ μὴ συνιῶσιν, μήποτε ἐπιστρέψωσιν καὶ ἀφεθῇ ⸀αὐτοῖς
13 And he says to them, Do ye not know this parable? and how will ye be acquainted with all the parables?
Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Οὐκ οἴδατε τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην, καὶ πῶς πάσας τὰς παραβολὰς γνώσεσθε;
14 The sower sows the word:
ὁ σπείρων τὸν λόγον σπείρει.
15 and these are they by the wayside where the word is sown, and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
οὗτοι δέ εἰσιν οἱ παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ὅπου σπείρεται ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὅταν ἀκούσωσιν ⸀εὐθὺςἔρχεται ὁ Σατανᾶς καὶ αἴρει τὸν λόγον τὸν ἐσπαρμένον ⸂εἰς αὐτούς.
16 And these are they in like manner who are sown upon the rocky places, who when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy,
καὶ οὗτοί εἰσιν ⸀ὁμοίωςοἱ ἐπὶ τὰ πετρώδη σπειρόμενοι, οἳ ὅταν ἀκούσωσιν τὸν λόγον ⸀εὐθὺςμετὰ χαρᾶς λαμβάνουσιν αὐτόν,
17 and they have no root in themselves, but are for a time: then, tribulation arising, or persecution on account of the word, immediately they are offended.
καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσιν ῥίζαν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἀλλὰ πρόσκαιροί εἰσιν, εἶτα γενομένης θλίψεως ἢ διωγμοῦ διὰ τὸν λόγον ⸀εὐθὺςσκανδαλίζονται.
18 And others are they who are sown among the thorns: these are they who have heard the word,
καὶ ⸀ἄλλοιεἰσὶν οἱ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας σπειρόμενοι· ⸂οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ τὸν λόγον ⸀ἀκούσαντες
19 and the cares of life, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
καὶ αἱ μέριμναι τοῦ ⸀αἰῶνοςκαὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου καὶ αἱ περὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἐπιθυμίαι εἰσπορευόμεναι συμπνίγουσιν τὸν λόγον, καὶ ἄκαρπος γίνεται. (aiōn g165)
20 And these are they who have been sown on the good ground, such as hear the word and receive it, and bear fruit; one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred [fold].
καὶ ⸀ἐκεῖνοίεἰσιν οἱ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τὴν καλὴν σπαρέντες, οἵτινες ἀκούουσιν τὸν λόγον καὶ παραδέχονται καὶ καρποφοροῦσιν ⸂ἓν τριάκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑξήκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑκατόν.
21 And he said to them, Does the lamp come that it should be put under the bushel or under the couch? [Is it] not that it should be set upon the lamp-stand?
Καὶ ἔλεγεν ⸀αὐτοῖς Μήτι ⸂ἔρχεται ὁ λύχνος ἵνα ὑπὸ τὸν μόδιον τεθῇἢ ὑπὸ τὴν κλίνην, οὐχ ἵνα ἐπὶ τὴν λυχνίαν ⸀τεθῇ;
22 For there is nothing hidden which shall not be made manifest; nor does any secret thing take place, but that it should come to light.
οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ⸀κρυπτὸνἐὰν μὴ ⸀ἵναφανερωθῇ, οὐδὲ ἐγένετο ἀπόκρυφον ἀλλʼ ἵνα ⸂ἔλθῃ εἰς φανερόν.
23 If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.
εἴ τις ἔχει ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω.
24 And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear; with what measure ye mete, it shall be meted to you; and there shall be [more] added to you.
καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· Βλέπετε τί ἀκούετε. ἐν ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε μετρηθήσεται ὑμῖνκαὶ προστεθήσεται ⸀ὑμῖν.
25 For whosoever has, to him shall be given; and he who has not, even what he has shall be taken from him.
ὃς γὰρ ⸀ἔχει δοθήσεται αὐτῷ· καὶ ὃ οὐκ ἔχει, καὶ ⸀ὃ ἔχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.
26 And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast the seed upon the earth,
Καὶ ἔλεγεν· Οὕτως ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ⸀ὡςἄνθρωπος βάλῃ τὸν σπόρον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
27 and should sleep and rise up night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he does not know how.
καὶ καθεύδῃ καὶ ἐγείρηται νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν, καὶ ὁ σπόρος ⸀βλαστᾷκαὶ μηκύνηται ὡς οὐκ οἶδεν αὐτός.
28 The earth bears fruit of itself, first [the] blade, then an ear, then full corn in the ear.
⸀αὐτομάτηἡ γῆ καρποφορεῖ, πρῶτον χόρτον, ⸂εἶτα στάχυν, εἶτα ⸂πλήρης σῖτον ἐν τῷ στάχυϊ.
29 But when the fruit is produced, immediately he sends the sickle, for the harvest is come.
ὅταν δὲ ⸀παραδοῖὁ καρπός, ⸀εὐθὺςἀποστέλλει τὸ δρέπανον, ὅτι παρέστηκεν ὁ θερισμός.
30 And he said, How should we liken the kingdom of God, or with what comparison should we compare it?
Καὶ ἔλεγεν· ⸀Πῶςὁμοιώσωμεν τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ, ἢ ἐν ⸀τίνι⸂αὐτὴν παραβολῇ θῶμεν;
31 As to a grain of mustard [seed], which, when it is sown upon the earth, is less than all seeds which are upon the earth,
ὡς ⸀κόκκῳσινάπεως, ὃς ὅταν σπαρῇ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ⸂μικρότερον ὂν πάντων τῶν ⸀σπερμάτων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς—
32 and when it has been sown, mounts up and becomes greater than all herbs, and produces great branches, so that the birds of heaven can roost under its shadow.
καὶ ὅταν σπαρῇ, ἀναβαίνει καὶ γίνεται ⸂μεῖζον πάντων τῶν λαχάνων καὶ ποιεῖ κλάδους μεγάλους, ὥστε δύνασθαι ὑπὸ τὴν σκιὰν αὐτοῦ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατασκηνοῦν.
33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear,
Καὶ τοιαύταις παραβολαῖς πολλαῖς ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς τὸν λόγον, καθὼς ἠδύναντο ἀκούειν·
34 but without a parable spoke he not to them; and in private he explained all things to his disciples.
χωρὶς δὲ παραβολῆς οὐκ ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς, κατʼ ἰδίαν δὲ τοῖς ⸂ἰδίοις μαθηταῖς ἐπέλυεν πάντα.
35 And on that day, when evening was come, he says to them, Let us go over to the other side:
Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὀψίας γενομένης· Διέλθωμεν εἰς τὸ πέραν.
36 and having sent away the crowd, they take him with [them], as he was, in the ship. But other ships also were with him.
καὶ ἀφέντες τὸν ὄχλον παραλαμβάνουσιν αὐτὸν ὡς ἦν ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ, καὶ ἄλλα ⸀πλοῖαἦν μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
37 And there comes a violent gust of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it already filled.
καὶ γίνεται λαῖλαψ ⸂μεγάλη ἀνέμου, ⸂καὶ τὰ κύματα ἐπέβαλλεν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, ὥστε ⸂ἤδη γεμίζεσθαι τὸ πλοῖον.
38 And he was in the stern sleeping on the cushion. And they awake him up and say to him, Teacher, dost thou not care that we are perishing?
καὶ ⸂αὐτὸς ἦν ⸀ἐντῇ πρύμνῃ ἐπὶ τὸ προσκεφάλαιον καθεύδων· καὶ ⸀ἐγείρουσιναὐτὸν καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· Διδάσκαλε, οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἀπολλύμεθα;
39 And awaking up he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Silence; be mute. And the wind fell, and there was a great calm.
καὶ διεγερθεὶς ἐπετίμησεν τῷ ἀνέμῳ καὶ εἶπεν τῇ θαλάσσῃ· Σιώπα, πεφίμωσο. καὶ ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος, καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη μεγάλη.
40 And he said to them, Why are ye [thus] fearful? how [is it] ye have not faith?
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Τί δειλοί ἐστε; ⸀οὔπωἔχετε πίστιν;
41 And they feared [with] great fear, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν φόβον μέγαν, καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς ἀλλήλους· Τίς ἄρα οὗτός ἐστιν ὅτι καὶ ὁ ἄνεμος καὶ ἡ θάλασσα ⸀ὑπακούειαὐτῷ;
