Chapter 4

¹ AND again he began to teach by the sea side; and a great multitude was gathered together unto him, so that he went up into a ship, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude was upon the land by the sea side.
² And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his doctrine:
³ Hear ye: Behold, the sower went out to sow.
⁴ And whilst he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate it up.
⁵ And other some fell upon stony ground, where it had not much earth; and it shot up immediately, because it had no depth of earth.
⁶ And when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
⁷ And some fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
⁸ And some fell upon good ground; and brought forth fruit that grew up, and increased and yielded, one thirty, another sixty, and another a hundred.
⁹ And he said: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
¹⁰ And when he was alone, the twelve that were with him asked him the parable.
¹¹ And he said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all things are done in parables:
¹² That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand: lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
¹³ And he saith to them: Are you ignorant of this parable? and how shall you know all parables?
¹⁴ He that soweth, soweth the word.
¹⁵ And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown, and as soon as they have heard, immediately Satan cometh and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
¹⁶ And these likewise are they that are sown on the stony ground: who when they have heard the word, immediately recieve it with joy.
¹⁷ And they have no root in themselves, but are only for a time: and then when tribulation and persecution ariseth for the word they are presently scandalized.
¹⁸ And others there are who are sown among thorns: these are they that hear the word,
¹⁹ And the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts after other things entering in choke the word, and it is made fruitless.
²⁰ And these are they who are sown upon the good ground, who hear the word, and receive it, and yield fruit, the one thirty, another sixty, and another a hundred.
²¹ And he said to them: Doth a candle come in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
²² For there is nothing hid, which shall not be made manifest: neither was it made secret, but that it may come abroad.
²³ If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
²⁴ And he said to them: Take heed what you hear. In what measure you shall mete, it shall be measured to you again, and more shall be given to you.
²⁵ For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken away from him.
²⁶ And he said: So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the earth,
²⁷ And should sleep, and rise, night and day, and the seed should spring, and grow up whilst he knoweth not.
²⁸ For the earth of itself bringeth forth fruit, first the blade, then the ear, afterwards the full corn in the ear.
²⁹ And when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
³⁰ And he said: To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what parable shall we compare it?
³¹ It is as a grain of mustard seed: which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth:
³² And when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches, so that the birds of the air may dwell under the shadow thereof.
³³ And with many such parables, he spoke to them the word, according as they were able to hear.
³⁴ And without parable he did not speak unto them; but apart, he explained all things to his disciples.
³⁵ And he saith to them that day, when evening was come: Let us pass over to the other side.
³⁶ And sending away the multitude, they take him even as he was in the ship: and there were other ships with him.
³⁷ And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that the ship was filled.
³⁸ And he was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow; and they awake him, and say to him: Master, doth it not concern thee that we perish?
³⁹ And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be still. And the wind ceased: and there was made a great calm.
⁴⁰ And he said to them: Why are you fearful? have you not faith yet? And they feared exceedingly: and they said one to another: Who is this (thinkest thou) that both wind and sea obey him?

Chapter 4

¹ And he began again to teach by the sea-side: and there was gathered to him a great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat on the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea, on the land.
² And he taught them many things by parables, and said to them in his doctrine,
³ Hearken; Behold, a sower went out to sow:
⁴ And it came to pass as he sowed, some fell by the way-side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it.
⁵ And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth.
⁶ But when the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
⁷ And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
⁸ And other fell on good ground, and yielded fruit that sprang up, and increased, and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundred.
⁹ And he said to them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
¹⁰ And when he was alone, they that were about him, with the twelve, asked of him the parable.
¹¹ And he said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
¹² That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
¹³ And he said to them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
¹⁴ The sower soweth the word.
¹⁵ And these are they by the way-side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
¹⁶ And these are they likewise who are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
¹⁷ And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they relapse.
¹⁸ And these are they who are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
¹⁹ And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
²⁰ And these are they who are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty-fold, some sixty, and some a hundred.
²¹ And he said to them, Is a candle brought to be put under a close vessel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
²² For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither hath any thing been kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
²³ If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.
²⁴ And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear: With the measure which ye give, it shall be measured to you: and to you that hear shall more be given.
²⁵ For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
²⁶ And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
²⁷ And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
²⁸ For the earth bringeth forth fruit of itself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
²⁹ But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
³⁰ And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
³¹ It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth.
³² But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under its shade.
³³ And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
³⁴ But without a parable he spoke not to them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
³⁵ And the same day, when the evening was come, he saith to them, Let us pass over to the other side.
³⁶ And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the boat. And there were also with him other small boats.
³⁷ And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was now full.
³⁸ And he was in the hinder part of the boat, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
³⁹ And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be still: and the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
⁴⁰ And he said to them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
⁴¹ And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

Chapter 4

¹ he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.
² taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
³ Behold, the farmer went out to sow,
⁴ it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
⁵ fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
⁶ the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
⁷ fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
⁸ 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."
⁹ said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
¹⁰ he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
¹¹ 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,
¹² '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.'"
¹³ said to them, "Don't you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
¹⁴ farmer sows the word.
¹⁵ ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
¹⁶ in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
¹⁷ have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
¹⁸ are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
¹⁹ 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.
²⁰ which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times."
²¹ said to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn't it put on a stand?
²² there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.
²³ any man has ears to hear, let him hear."
²⁴ 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.
²⁵ whoever has, to him will more be given, and he who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away from him."
²⁶ said, "The Kingdom of God is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
²⁷ should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he doesn't know how.
²⁸ the earth bears fruit: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
²⁹ when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."
³⁰ said, "How will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
³¹ 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,
³² 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."
³³ many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
³⁴ a parable he didn't speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
³⁵ that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let's go over to the other side."
³⁶ the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
³⁷ big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
³⁸ 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?"
³⁹ awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
⁴⁰ said to them, "Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?"
⁴¹ were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

Chapter 4

¹ 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.
² And he taught them many things in parables. And he said to them in his doctrine,
³ Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow.
⁴ And it came to pass as he sowed, one fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured it.
⁵ 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;
⁶ and when the sun arose it was burnt up, and because of its not having any root, it withered.
⁷ And another fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
⁸ 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.
⁹ And he said, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
¹⁰ And when he was alone, those about him with the twelve asked him [as to] the parables.
¹¹ 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,
¹² 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.
¹³ And he says to them, Do ye not know this parable? and how will ye be acquainted with all the parables?
¹⁴ The sower sows the word:
¹⁵ 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.
¹⁶ And these are they in like manner who are sown upon the rocky places, who when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy,
¹⁷ 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.
¹⁸ And others are they who are sown among the thorns: these are they who have heard the word,
¹⁹ 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.
²⁰ 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].
²¹ 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?
²² 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.
²³ If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.
²⁴ 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.
²⁵ For whosoever has, to him shall be given; and he who has not, even what he has shall be taken from him.
²⁶ And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast the seed upon the earth,
²⁷ and should sleep and rise up night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he does not know how.
²⁸ The earth bears fruit of itself, first [the] blade, then an ear, then full corn in the ear.
²⁹ But when the fruit is produced, immediately he sends the sickle, for the harvest is come.
³⁰ And he said, How should we liken the kingdom of God, or with what comparison should we compare it?
³¹ 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,
³² 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.
³³ And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear,
³⁴ but without a parable spoke he not to them; and in private he explained all things to his disciples.
³⁵ And on that day, when evening was come, he says to them, Let us go over to the other side:
³⁶ and having sent away the crowd, they take him with [them], as he was, in the ship. But other ships also were with him.
³⁷ And there comes a violent gust of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it already filled.
³⁸ 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?
³⁹ 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.
⁴⁰ And he said to them, Why are ye [thus] fearful? how [is it] ye have not faith?
⁴¹ And they feared [with] great fear, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

³ Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow:
⁴ and it came to pass, as he sowed, some [seed] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it.
⁵ 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:
⁶ and when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
⁷ And other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
⁸ And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
⁹ And he said, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
¹⁰ And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parables.
¹¹ 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:

Chapter 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.
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:
³ A man went out to put seed in the earth:
⁴ And while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside, and the birds came and took it for food.
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:
⁶ And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root, it became dry and dead.
⁷ And some went among the thorns, and the thorns came up, and it had no room for growth and gave no fruit.
⁸ And some, falling on good earth, gave fruit, coming up and increasing, and giving thirty, sixty, and a hundred times as much.
⁹ And he said to them, Whoever has ears, let him give ear.
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.
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;
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.
¹³ And he said to them, If you are not clear about this story, how will you be clear about the others?
¹⁴ The seed is the word.
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.
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;
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.
¹⁸ And others are those planted among the thorns; these are they who have given ear to the word,
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.
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.
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?
²² There is nothing covered which will not be seen openly, and nothing has been made secret which will not come to light.
²³ If any man has ears, let him give ear.
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.
²⁵ He who has, to him will be given: and he who has not, from him will be taken even that which he has.
²⁶ And he said, Such is the kingdom of God, as if a man put seed in the earth,
²⁷ And went to sleep and got up, night and day, and the seed came to growth, though he had no idea how.
²⁸ The earth gives fruit by herself; first the leaf, then the head, then the full grain.
²⁹ But when the grain is ready, he quickly sends men to get it cut, because the time for cutting has come.
³⁰ And he said, What picture may we give of the kingdom of God, or with what story may we make it clear?
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,
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.
³³ And with a number of such stories he gave them his teaching, as they were able to take it:
³⁴ And without a story he said nothing to them: but privately to his disciples he made all things clear.
³⁵ And on that day, when the evening had come, he said to them, Let us go over to the other side.
³⁶ And going away from the people, they took him with them, as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
³⁷ And a great storm of wind came up, and the waves came into the boat, so that the boat was now becoming full.
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?
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.
⁴⁰ And he said to them, Why are you full of fear? have you still no faith?
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?
