| Mark 4:12 | that "`They may look and look but not see, and listen and listen but not understand, lest perchance they should return and be pardoned.'" | that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest haply they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them. | that 'seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sins should be forgiven them.'" |

| Mark 4:22 | Why, there is nothing hidden except with a view to its being ultimately disclosed, nor has anything been made a secret but that it may at last come to light. | For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was [anything] made secret, but that it should come to light. | For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light. |

With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you who hear. |
| Mark 4:25 | For those who have will have more given them; and from those who have not, even what they have will be taken away." | For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. | For whoever has, to him will more be given, and he who has not, from him will be taken away even that which he has." |
| Mark 4:26 | Another saying of His was this: "The Kingdom of God is as if a man scattered seed over the ground: | And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth; | He said, "So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed on the earth, |
| Mark 4:27 | he spends days and nights, now awake, now asleep, while the seed sprouts and grows tall, he knows not how. | and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how. | and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he doesn't know how. |
| Mark 4:28 | Of itself the land produces the crop first the blade, then the ear; afterwards the perfect grain is seen in the ear. | The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. | For the earth bears fruit: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. |
| Mark 4:29 | But no sooner is the crop ripe, than he sends the reapers, because the time of harvest has come." | But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come. | But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come." |

Or by what parable will we compare it? |
| Mark 4:31 | It is like a mustard-seed, which, when sown in the earth, is the smallest of all the seeds in the world; | It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth, | It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth, |
| Mark 4:32 | yet when sown it springs up and becomes larger than all the herbs, and throws out great branches, so that the birds build under its shadow." | yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof. | yet when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow." |
| Mark 4:33 | With many such parables He used to speak the Message to them according to their capacity for receiving it. | And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it; | With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it. |
| Mark 4:34 | But except in figurative language He spoke nothing to them; while to His own disciples He expounded everything, in private. | and without a parable spake he not unto them: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things. | Without a parable he didn't speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained all things. |
| Mark 4:35 | The same day, in the evening, He said to them, "Let us cross to the other side." | And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the other side. | On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let's go over to the other side." |

| Mark 4:37 | But a heavy squall came on, and the waves were now dashing into the boat, so that it was fast filling. | And there ariseth a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat was now filling. | There arose a great wind storm, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled. |

| Mark 4:41 | Then they were filled with terror, and began to say to one another, "Who is this, then? For even wind and sea obey Him." | And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? | They were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?" |
