| Mark 4:1 | Once more He began to teach by the side of the Lake, and a vast multitude of people came together to listen to Him. He therefore went on board the boat and sat there, a little way from the land; and all the people were on the shore close to the water. | And again he began to teach by the sea side. And there is gathered unto him a very great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land. | And again he began to teach by the sea, and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he, having gone into the boat, sat in the sea, and all the multitude was near the sea, on the land, |
| Mark 4:2 | Then He proceeded to teach them many lessons in figurative language; and in His teaching He said, | And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his teaching, | and he taught them many things in similes, and he said to them in his teaching: |
| Mark 4:3 | "Listen: the sower goes out to sow. | Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow: | `Hearken, lo, the sower went forth to sow; |
| Mark 4:4 | As he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and the birds come and peck it up. | and it came to pass, as he sowed, some [seed] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it. | and it came to pass, in the sowing, some fell by the way, and the fowls of the heaven did come and devour it; |
| Mark 4:5 | Some falls on the rocky ground where it finds but little earth, and it shoots up quickly because it has no depth of soil; | And other fell on the rocky [ground], where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth: | and other fell upon the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprang forth, because of not having depth of earth, |
| Mark 4:6 | but when the sun is risen, it is scorched, and through having no root it withers away. | and when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. | and the sun having risen, it was scorched, and because of not having root it did wither; |
| Mark 4:7 | Some, again, falls among the thorns; and the thorns spring up and stifle it, so that it yields no crop. | And other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. | and other fell toward the thorns, and the thorns did come up, and choke it, and fruit it gave not; |
| Mark 4:8 | But some of the seed falls into good ground, and gives a return: it comes up and increases, and yields thirty, sixty, or a hundred-fold." | And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold. | and other fell to the good ground, and was giving fruit, coming up and increasing, and it bare, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.` |
| Mark 4:9 | "Listen," He added, "every one who has ears to listen with!" | And he said, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. | And he said to them, `He who is having ears to hear let him hear.` |
| Mark 4:10 | When He was alone, the Twelve and the others who were about Him requested Him to explain His figurative language. | And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parables. | And when he was alone, those about him, with the twelve, did ask him of the simile, |
| Mark 4:11 | "To you," He replied, "has been entrusted the secret truth concerning the Kingdom of God; but to those others outside your number all this is spoken in figurative language; | And he said unto them, Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables: | and he said to them, `To you it hath been given to know the secret of the reign of God, but to those who are without, in similes are all the things done; |
| 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 they may turn, and the sins may be forgiven them.` |
| Mark 4:13 | "Do you all miss the meaning of this parable?" He added; "how then will you understand the rest of my parables?" | And he saith unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how shall ye know all the parables? | And he saith to them, `Have ye not known this simile? and how shall ye know all the similes? |
| Mark 4:14 | "What the sower sows is the Message. | The sower soweth the word. | He who is sowing doth sow the word; |
| Mark 4:15 | Those who receive the seed by the way-side are those in whom the Message is sown, but, when they have heard it, Satan comes at once and carries away the Message sown in them. | And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; and when they have heard, straightway cometh Satan, and taketh away the word which hath been sown in them. | and these are they by the way where the word is sown: and whenever they may hear, immediately cometh the Adversary, and he taketh away the word that hath been sown in their hearts. |
| Mark 4:16 | In the same way those who receive the seed on the rocky places are those who, when they have heard the Message, at once accept it joyfully, | And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky [places], who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy; | `And these are they, in like manner, who on the rocky ground are sown: who, whenever they may hear the word, immediately with joy do receive it, |
| Mark 4:17 | but they have no root within them. They last for a time; then, when suffering or persecution comes because of the Message, they are immediately overthrown. | and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble. | and have not root in themselves, but are temporary; afterward tribulation or persecution having come because of the word, immediately they are stumbled. |
| Mark 4:18 | Others there are who receive the seed among the thorns: these are they who have heard the Message, | And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word, | `And these are they who toward the thorns are sown: these are they who are hearing the word, |
| Mark 4:19 | but worldly cares and the deceitfulness of wealth and the excessive pursuit of other objects come in and stifle the Message, and it becomes unfruitful. | and the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. | and the anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, and the desires concerning the other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. |
| Mark 4:20 | Those, on the other hand, who have received the seed on the good ground, are all who hear the Message and welcome it, and yield a return of thirty, sixty, or a hundred fold." | And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold. | `And these are they who on the good ground have been sown: who do hear the word, and receive, and do bear fruit, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.` |
| Mark 4:21 | He went on to say, "Is the lamp brought in in order to be put under the bushel or under the bed? Is it not rather in order that it may be placed on the lampstand? | And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, [and] not to be put on the stand? | And he said to them, `Doth the lamp come that under the measure it may be put, or under the couch not that it may be put on the lamp-stand? |
| 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 not anything hid that may not be manifested, nor was anything kept hid but that it may come to light. |
| Mark 4:23 | Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!" | If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear. | If any hath ears to hear let him hear.` |
| Mark 4:24 | He also said to them, "Take care what you hear. With what measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and that with interest. | And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete it shall be measured unto you; and more shall be given unto you. | And he said to them, `Take heed what ye hear; in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you; and to you who hear it shall be added; |
| 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 may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever hath not, also that which he hath shall be taken from him.` |
| 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; | And he said, `Thus is the reign of God: as if a man may cast the 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 may sleep, and may rise night and day, and the seed spring up and grow, he hath not known 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 of itself doth the earth bear fruit, first a blade, afterwards an ear, afterwards full corn 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. | and whenever the fruit may yield itself, immediately he doth send forth the sickle, because the harvest hath come.` |
| Mark 4:30 | Another saying of His was this: "How are we to picture the Kingdom of God? or by what figure of speech shall we represent it? | And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth? | And he said, `To what may we liken the reign of God, or in what simile may 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, | As a grain of mustard, which, whenever it may be sown on the earth, is less than any of 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. | and whenever it may be sown, it cometh up, and doth become greater than any of the herbs, and doth make great branches, so that under its shade the fowls of the heaven are able to rest.` |
| 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; | And with many such similes he was speaking to them the word, as they were able to hear, |
| 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. | and without a simile he was not speaking to them, and by themselves, to his disciples he was expounding all. |
| 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. | And he saith to them on that day, evening having come, `We may pass over to the other side;` |
| Mark 4:36 | So they got away from the crowd, and took Him as He was in the boat; and other boats accompanied Him. | And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him. | and having let away the multitude, they take him up as he was in the boat, and other little boats also were with him. |
| 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. | And there cometh a great storm of wind, and the waves were beating on the boat, so that it is now being filled, |
| Mark 4:38 | But He Himself was in the stern asleep, with His head on the cushion: so they woke Him. "Rabbi," they cried, "is it nothing to you that we are drowning?" | And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion: and they awake him, and say unto him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish? | and he himself was upon the stern, upon the pillow sleeping, and they wake him up, and say to him, `Teacher, art thou not caring that we perish?` |
| Mark 4:39 | So He roused Himself and rebuked the wind, and said to the waves, "Silence! Be still!" The wind sank, and a perfect calm set in. | And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. | And having waked up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, `Peace, be stilled;` and the wind did lull, and there was a great calm: |
| Mark 4:40 | "Why are you so timid?" He asked; "have you still no faith?" | And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith? | and he said to them, `Why are ye so fearful? how have ye not faith?` |
| 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? | and they feared a great fear, and said one to another, `Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea do obey him?` |
