Mk Chapter 4 Verses 1-41

4:1
And
again
he
was
teaching
by
the
seaside.
And
a
very
great
number
of
people
had
come to
him,
so
that
he
got
into
a
boat
on
the
sea
and
took
his
seat;
and
all
the
people
were
on
the
land
by
the
seaside.
4:2
And
he
gave
them
teaching
about
a
number
of
things
in
the
form
of
stories,
and
said
to
them
in
his
teaching,
Give
ear:
4:3
A
man
went out
to
put
seed
in
the
earth:
4:4
And
while
he
was
doing
it,
some
was
dropped
by
the
wayside,
and
the
birds
came
and
took
it
for
food.
4:5
And
some
went
on
the
stones,
where
it
had not
much
earth;
and
it
came
up
straight away,
because
the
earth
was
not
deep:
4:6
And
when
the
sun
was
high,
it
was
burned;
and
because
it
had
no
root,
it
became
dry
and
dead.
4:7
And
some
went
among
the
thorns,
and
the
thorns
came
up,
and
it
had
no
room
for
growth
and
gave
no
fruit.
4:8
And
some,
falling
on
good
earth,
gave
fruit,
coming
up
and
increasing,
and
giving
thirty,
sixty,
and
a hundred
times
as
much.
4:9
And
he
said
to
them,
Whoever
has
ears,
let
him
give
ear.
4:10
And
when
he
was
by himself,
those
who
were
round
him
with
the
twelve
put
questions
to
him
about
the
purpose
of
the
stories.
4:11
And
he
said
to
them,
To
you
is
given
the
secret
of
the
kingdom
of
God,
but
to
those
who
are
outside,
all
things
are
given
in
the
form
of
stories;
4:12
So
that
seeing
they
may
see,
and
it
will not
be
clear
to
them;
and
hearing
it,
they
will not
get
the
sense;
for
fear
that
they
may
be
turned
again
to
me
and
have
forgiveness.
4:13
And
he
said
to
them,
If
you
are not
clear
about
this
story,
how
will you
be
clear
about
the
others?
4:14
The
seed
is
the
word.
4:15
And
these
are
they
by
the
wayside,
where
the
word
is
planted;
and
when
they
have
given
ear,
the
Evil
One
comes
straight away
and
takes away
the
word
which
has been
planted
in
them.
4:16
And
in
the
same way,
these
are
they
who
are
planted
on
the
stones,
who,
when
the
word
has
come to
their
ears,
straight away
take
it
with
joy;
4:17
And
they
have
no
root
in
themselves,
but
go
on
for
a
time;
then,
when
trouble
comes
or
pain,
because
of
the
word,
they
quickly
become
full
of
doubts.
4:18
And
others
are
those
planted
among
the
thorns;
these
are
they
who
have
given
ear
to
the
word,
4:19
And
the
cares
of
this
life,
and
the
deceits
of
wealth,
and
the
desire
for
other
things
coming in,
put
a
stop
to
the
growth
of
the
word,
and
it
gives
no
fruit.
4:20
And
these
are
they
who
were
planted
on
the
good
earth;
such as
give
ear
to
the
word,
and
take
it
into
their
hearts,
and
give
fruit,
thirty
and
sixty
and
a hundred
times
as
much.
4:21
And
he
said
to
them,
When
the
light
comes in,
do
people
put
it
under
a
vessel,
or
under
the
bed,
and
not
on
its
table?
4:22
There
is
nothing
covered
which
will not
be
seen
openly,
and
nothing
has been
made
secret
which
will not come
to
light.
4:23
If
any
man
has
ears,
let
him
give
ear.
4:24
And
he
said
to
them,
Take care
what
you
give
ear
to:
in
the
same
measure
as
you
give
you
will
get,
and
more
will
be
given
to
you.
4:25
He
who
has,
to
him
will
be
given:
and
he
who
has not,
from
him
will
be
taken
even
that
which
he
has.
4:26
And
he
said,
Such
is
the
kingdom
of
God,
as
if
a
man
put
seed
in
the
earth,
4:27
And
went to
sleep
and
got up,
night and day,
and
the
seed
came to
growth,
though
he
had
no
idea
how.
4:28
The
earth
gives
fruit
by herself;
first
the
leaf,
then
the
head,
then
the
full
grain.
4:29
But
when
the
grain
is
ready,
he
quickly
sends
men
to
get
it
cut,
because
the
time
for
cutting
has
come.
4:30
And
he
said,
What
picture
may
we
give
of
the
kingdom
of
God,
or
with
what
story
may
we
make
it
clear?
4:31
It
is
like
a
grain
of
mustard
seed,
which,
when
it
is
put in
the
earth,
is
smaller than
all
the
seeds
on
the
earth,
4:32
But
when
it
is
planted,
it
comes
up,
and
becomes
taller
than
all
the
plants,
and
puts
out
great
branches,
so
that
the
birds
of
heaven
are able
to
take
rest
in
its
shade.
4:33
And
with
a
number
of
such
stories
he
gave
them
his
teaching,
as
they
were able
to
take
it:
4:34
And
without
a
story
he
said
nothing
to
them:
but
privately
to
his
disciples
he
made
all
things
clear.
4:35
And
on
that
day,
when
the
evening
had
come,
he
said
to
them,
Let
us
go
over
to
the
other side.
4:36
And
going away
from
the
people,
they
took
him
with
them,
as
he
was,
in
the
boat.
And
other
boats
were
with
him.
4:37
And
a
great
storm
of
wind
came
up,
and
the
waves
came
into
the
boat,
so
that
the
boat
was
now
becoming
full.
4:38
And
he
himself
was
in
the
back of
the
boat,
sleeping
on
the
cushion:
and
they,
awaking
him,
said,
Master,
is
it
nothing
to
you
that
we
are
in
danger
of
destruction?
4:39
And
he
came out
of
his
sleep,
and
gave
strong
orders
to
the
wind,
and
said
to
the
sea,
Peace,
be
at
rest.
And
the
wind
went down,
and
there
was
a
great
calm.
4:40
And
he
said
to
them,
Why
are you
full
of
fear?
have
you
still
no
faith?
4:41
And
their
fear
was
great,
and
they
said
one
to
another,
Who
then
is
this,
that
even
the
wind
and
the
sea
do
his
orders?
