| 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. 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. | Again he began to teach by the seaside.

| 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, one fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured it. | and it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured 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 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; | Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil. |
| Mark 4:6 | but when the sun is risen, it is scorched, and through having no root it withers away. | and when the sun arose it was burnt up, and because of its not having any root, it withered. | When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. |
| Mark 4:7 | Some, again, falls among the thorns; and the thorns spring up and stifle it, so that it yields no crop. | And another fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. | Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. |
| 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 another fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and bore, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred. | Others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some brought forth thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much." |
| Mark 4:9 | "Listen," He added, "every one who has ears to listen with!" | And he said, He that has ears to hear, let him hear. | He said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear." |

| 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 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, | He said to them, "To you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables, |
| 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 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. | 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 4:13 | "Do you all miss the meaning of this parable?" He added; "how then will you understand the rest of my parables?" | And he says to them, Do ye not know this parable? and how will ye be acquainted with all the parables? | He said to them, "Don't you understand this parable?

| Mark 4:14 | "What the sower sows is the Message. | The sower sows the word: | The farmer sows 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 wayside where the word is sown, and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. | These are they by the road, where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them. |

| 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 are for a time: then, tribulation arising, or persecution on account of the word, immediately they are offended. | They have no root in themselves, but endure for a while, then, when oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble. |
| 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 who are sown among the thorns: these are they who have heard the word, | Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard 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 life, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. | and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes 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 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]. | These are those who were sown on the good ground: such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times." |
| 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 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? | He said to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under the bed? Isn't it put on the lampstand? |
| 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 hidden which shall not be made manifest; nor does any secret thing take place, 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. |
| Mark 4:23 | Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!" | If any one have ears to hear, let him hear. | If any man has 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 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. | He said to them, "Take heed what you hear. 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 whosoever has, to him shall be given; and he who has not, even what he has shall be taken from him. | 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, Thus is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast the 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 up night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he does not know 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 bears fruit of itself, first [the] blade, then an ear, then full corn 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 produced, immediately he sends the sickle, for the harvest is come. | But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has 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 should we liken the kingdom of God, or with what comparison should we compare it? | He said, "How will we liken the kingdom of God? 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; | 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, | 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." | 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. | 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 he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear, | 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. | but without a parable spoke he not to them; and in private he explained all things to his disciples. | 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 evening was come, he says to them, Let us go over to the other side: | On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let's go 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 having sent away the crowd, they take him with [them], as he was, in the ship. But other ships also were with him. | Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also 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 comes a violent gust of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it already filled. | There arose a great wind storm, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already 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* 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? | He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, don't you care that we are dying?" |
| 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 awaking up he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Silence; be mute. And the wind fell, and there was a great calm. | He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace. Be still." The wind ceased, and there was a great calm. |
| Mark 4:40 | "Why are you so timid?" He asked; "have you still no faith?" | And he said to them, Why are ye [thus] fearful? how [is it] ye have not faith? | He said to them, "Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no 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 [with] great fear, 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?" |
