< Mark 4 >

1 And again He began to teach beside the sea. And (are gathered together *N+kO) to Him a crowd (greatest *N+KO) so that He into a boat having climbed sitting in the sea, and all the crowd close to the sea on the land (was. *N+kO)
Once again Jesus began to teach beside the sea, and such a large crowd gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people crowded along the shore.
2 And He was teaching them in parables many things and He was saying to them in the teaching of Him;
And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,
3 do listen! Behold went out the [one] sowing (of the *ko) to sow;
“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.
4 And it came to pass while sowing, some fell along the road, and came the birds (heaven *K) and devoured it.
And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 (And *no) other (however *k) fell upon the rocky place (and *o) where not it had soil much, and immediately it sprang up because of the not having depth of soil.
Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
6 (And *N+kO) (after *NO) (rose *N+kO) (the *no) (sun it was scorched *N+kO) and because of not having root it withered away.
But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
7 And other fell among the thorns, and grew up the thorns and choked it, and fruit no it yielded.
Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.
8 And (others *N+kO) fell into the soil good and was yielding fruit growing up and (increasing *N+k+o) and was bearing (one *N+K+o) thirtyfold and (one *N+K+o) sixty and (one *N+K+o) a hundred.
Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprouted, grew up, and produced a crop—one bearing thirtyfold, another sixtyfold, and another a hundredfold.”
9 And He was saying (to them: *k) ([He] who has *N+kO) ears to hear he should hear.
Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10 (And *no) when (now *k) He was (utterly *N+KO) (alone, they were asking *N+kO) Him those around Him with the Twelve (about the *N+kO) (parables. *N+KO)
As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.
11 And He was saying to them; To you (to know *k) the mystery has been given of the kingdom of God, To those however who are outside in parables everything is done
He replied, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables,
12 so that Looking they may look and not they may perceive and hearing they may hear and not they may understand otherwise otherwise they may turn and may be forgiven to them’ (sins. *k)
so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”
13 And He says to them; Not understand you parable this? And how all the parables will you understand?
Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?
14 The [one] sowing the word sows.
The farmer sows the word.
15 These now are they along the road where is sown the word, and when they may hear, immediately comes Satan and takes away the word sown (in *N+kO) (hearts *K) (them. *N+k+o)
Some are like the seeds along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
16 And these are (likewise *KO) those upon the rocky places sown, who when they may hear the word, immediately with joy receive it
Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.
17 and not they have root in themselves but temporary are. then when was happening tribulation or persecution on account of the word, immediately they fall away.
But they themselves have no root, and they remain for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
18 And (another *N+KO) are those among the thorns sown; These are those the word (hearing, *N+kO)
Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,
19 and the cares of the (age *NK+O) (this *k) and the deceit of the riches and of the other things desires entering in they choke the word, and unfruitful it becomes. (aiōn g165)
but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desire for other things come in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 And (those *N+kO) are those upon the soil good having been sown, such as hear the word and receive [it] and bring forth fruit (one *N+KO) thirtyfold and (one *N+KO) sixty and (one *N+KO) a hundred.
Still others are like the seeds sown on good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and produce a crop—thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a hundredfold.”
21 And He was saying to them (that: *o) surely not ever is brought in the lamp so that under the basket it may be put or under the bed? Surely that upon the lampstand (may it be put? *N+kO)
Jesus also said to them, “Does anyone bring in a lamp to put it under a basket or under a bed? Doesn’t he set it on a stand?
22 Nothing for there is (anything *k) hidden (which *k) only unless (in order *NO) it shall be made manifest, nor has taken place a secret thing but that it shall come to light.
For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.
23 If anyone has ears to hear he should hear.
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24 And He was saying to them; do take heed what you hear. With what measure you measure it will be measured to you and more will be added to you (who are hearing. *K)
He went on to say, “Pay attention to what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and even more will be added to you.
25 Who[ever] for (maybe *k) (has, *N+kO) it will be given to him; and he who not has, even (what *N+kO) he has will be taken away from him.
For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
26 And He was saying; Thus is the kingdom of God, as (if *ko) a man shall cast the seed upon the earth
Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.
27 and he may sleep and he may be risen night and day, and the seed may sprout and it may grow how not knows he himself.
Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.
28 Of itself (for *k) the earth brings forth fruit — first a plant then an ear then full (grain *NK+o) in the ear.
All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.
29 When then it may produce the fruit, immediately he sends the sickle for has come the harvest.
And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
30 And He was saying; (how *N+kO) shall we liken the kingdom of God Or in (which *N+kO) it parable (let us present *N+kO)
Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?
31 As (a grain *NK+o) of mustard which when it may be sown upon the earth, (smaller than is *N+kO) all the seeds which [are] upon the earth.
It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.
32 and when it may be sown, it grows up and becomes (greater *N+kO) than all the garden plants and it produces branches great so that to be able under the shadow of it the birds of the air to perch.
But after it is planted, it grows to be the largest of all garden plants and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air nest in its shade.”
33 And with such parables many He was speaking to them the word even as they were able to hear.
With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.
34 Without then parables not was He speaking to them; in private however (to [His] own *N+kO) disciples He was explaining all things.
He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.
35 And He says to them on that [very] day evening having come; let us pass over to the other side.
When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”
36 And having dismissed the crowd they take with [them] Him since He was in the boat, also other (now *k) (boats *N+kO) were with Him.
After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him.
37 And comes a storm violent of wind (And *no) the (now *k) waves were breaking over the boat so that already is being filled up (the *no) (boat. *N+KO)
Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.
38 And He himself was (in *N+kO) the stern on the cushion sleeping. And (they wake *N+kO) Him and say to Him; Teacher, not is it concern to You that we perish?
But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?”
39 And having been awoken He rebuked the wind and said to the sea; Silence! you must be still! And abated the wind, and there was a calm great.
Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the sea. “Silence!” He commanded. “Be still!” And the wind died down, and it was perfectly calm.
40 And He said to them; Why fearful are you? (Still not *N+KO) (how not *K) have you faith?
“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”
41 And they feared [with] fear great and were saying to each other; Who then this is that even the wind and the sea (it obeys *N+kO) Him?
Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
