Mark 4
1 Jesus began teaching beside the Sea again. So many people came to listen to him that he climbed into a boat and sat in it on the water while the crowd listened from the shore.
ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲁⲣⲭⲉⲥⲑⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲉϯⲥⲃⲱ ϩⲁⲧⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲁⲗⲉ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲉ͡ⲓ ⲛϥ̅ϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ϩⲓⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲛ̅ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ
2 He illustrated his teachings using many stories.
ⲃ̅ⲁϥϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲥⲃⲱ
3 “Listen,” he said. “A sower went out to sow.
ⲅ̅ϫⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲧϫⲟ ⲉⲧϫⲟ.
4 Now as he was scattering the seeds, some fell on the path, and birds came and ate them up.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲟ, ⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁϥϩⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ϩⲁⲗⲁⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲙⲟⲩ
5 Other seeds fell on stony ground where there wasn't much earth. In the shallow soil the plants started growing quickly, but because the soil wasn't deep
ⲉ̅ⲕⲉⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲕⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϯⲟⲩⲱ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲉⲓ ⲉⲧⲃⲉϫⲉⲙⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲕⲁϩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ
6 they were scorched when the sun came up. Since they didn't have any real roots, they soon withered.

7 Other seeds fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked the sprouting seeds, so they produced nothing.
ⲍ̅ⲕⲉⲩⲁ ⲁϥϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲉⲓ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲛⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ϣⲟⲛⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲟϭⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϯⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ
8 Other seeds fell on good soil where they sprouted and grew. They produced a harvest of some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred times what was planted.
ⲏ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲩⲁⲩⲝⲁⲛⲉ ⲁⲩϯⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲉⲙⲁⲁⲃ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲥⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣⲉ.
9 If you have ears to hear, listen to what I'm saying.”
ⲑ̅ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅.
10 When he was by himself, his twelve disciples and the others who were with him asked him what the illustrations meant.
ⲓ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲕⲁⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉⲧⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ
11 He told them, “The mystery of God's kingdom has been given to you to understand. But outsiders only have the stories,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧϩⲓⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϫⲓϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ
12 so that even though they see, they don't really ‘see,’ and even though they hear, they don't understand, otherwise they might turn to me and be forgiven.”
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲩⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲛⲟⲉⲓ. ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲕⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲕⲱ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
13 “Don't you understand this story?” Jesus asked them. “If you can't, how are you going to understand all the other stories?
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲱⲥ ⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲟⲩ
14 The sower sows the word.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲉⲧϫⲟ ⲉϥϫⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ.
15 The seeds on the path where the word is sown illustrate those who hear the message, but then Satan immediately comes along and takes away the word that's been sown in them.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲧϩⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉϣⲁⲩϫⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϣⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ⲛϥ̅ϥⲓⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ
16 Likewise the seeds on the rocky ground illustrate those who hear the word, and happily accept it right away.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲓϫⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲩϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ
17 But since they have no real roots, they only last for a while until trouble or persecution comes, and then they quickly fall away.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲏ̑ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲱⲅⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲩⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲓⲍⲉ.
18 Those sown among the thorns illustrate those who hear the word,
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛϣⲟⲛⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ
19 but worries of this world, the temptation of wealth, and other distractions choke the growth of the word, and it becomes unproductive. (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲛⲙ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲁⲧⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛⲧ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲱϭⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ϯⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ (aiōn g165)
20 But the seeds sown on good soil illustrate those who hear the word, accept it, and are productive—producing thirty, sixty, and hundred times what was originally sown.

21 Who puts a lamp under a bucket, or beneath a bed?” Jesus asked them. “No, you put a lamp up on a lamp-stand.

22 Everything that is hidden will be revealed, and everything that is secret will be brought out into the open.

23 If you have ears to hear, listen to what I'm saying!

24 Pay attention to what you're hearing,” he told them, “for you will be given according to how much you want to receive, measure for measure.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ϩⲙⲡ̅ϣⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
25 More will be given to those who already have understanding, but those who don't want to know will have what little understanding they have taken from them.

26 God's kingdom is like a man sowing seed in the ground,” Jesus said.

27 “He goes to bed and gets up, day after day, but the man has no knowledge of how the seeds sprout and grow.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅ ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲉⲡⲉϭⲣⲟϭ ϯⲟⲩⲱ ⲛϥⲣ̅ⲛⲟϭ ⲉⲛϥ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ
28 The earth produces a harvest by itself. First a shoot appears, then the heads of grain, and then the heads of grain ripen.

29 When the grain is ripe, the farmer reaps it with a sickle, because the harvest is ready.

30 What can we compare God's kingdom to? What illustration shall we use?” he asked.

33 Jesus used many of these illustrated stories when he spoke to the people so they would understand as much as they could.

34 In fact, when he spoke publicly, he only used stories; however in private he explained everything to his disciples.

35 Later that day, in the evening, he said to his disciples, “Let's go across to the other side of the Sea.”

36 Leaving the crowd behind, the disciples went with Jesus and got into a boat. Other boats went with them.

37 Soon a terrible storm started blowing, and waves crashed against the boat, filling it with water.

38 Jesus was asleep in the stern, resting his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting at him, “Teacher, don't you care that we're about to drown?”

39 Jesus woke up. He told the wind to die down and told the waves, “Be quiet! Be still.” The wind stopped, and the water became completely calm.

40 “Why are you so frightened? Haven't you learned to trust me?” he asked them.

41 They were stunned and terrified. They asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
