Mark Chapter 4 - King James Strong Number Version

1: And <G2532> he began <G0756> <G5662> again <G3825> to teach <G1321> <G5721> by <G3844> the sea side <G2281>: and <G2532> there was gathered <G4863> <G5681> unto <G4314> him <G0846> a great <G4183> multitude <G3793>, so that <G5620> he entered <G1684> <G5631> into <G1519> a ship <G4143>, and sat <G2521> <G5738> in <G1722> the sea <G2281>; and <G2532> the whole <G3956> multitude <G3793> was <G2258> <G5713> by <G4314> the sea <G2281> on <G1909> the land <G1093>.
2: And <G2532> he taught <G1321> <G5707> them <G0846> many things <G4183> by <G1722> parables <G3850>, and <G2532> said <G3004> <G5707> unto them <G0846> in <G1722> his <G0848> doctrine <G1322>,
3: Hearken <G0191> <G5720>; Behold <G2400> <G5628>, there went out <G1831> <G5627> a sower <G4687> <G5723> to sow <G4687> <G5658>:
4: And <G2532> it came to pass <G1096> <G5633>, as <G1722> he sowed <G4687> <G5721>, some <G3739> <G3303> fell <G4098> <G5627> by <G3844> the way side <G3598>, and <G2532> the fowls <G4071> of the air <G3772> came <G2064> <G5627> and <G2532> devoured <G2719> <G0000> it <G0846> up <G2719> <G5627>.
5: And <G1161> some <G0243> fell <G4098> <G5627> on <G1909> stony ground <G4075>, where <G3699> it had <G2192> <G5707> not <G3756> much <G4183> earth <G1093>; and <G2532> immediately <G2112> it sprang up <G1816> <G5656>, because <G1223> it had <G2192> <G5721> no <G3361> depth <G0899> of earth <G1093>:
6: But <G1161> when <G0393> <G0000> the sun <G2246> was up <G0393> <G5660>, it was scorched <G2739> <G5681>; and <G2532> because <G1223> it had <G2192> <G5721> no <G3361> root <G4491>, it withered away <G3583> <G5681>.
7: And <G2532> some <G0243> fell <G4098> <G5627> among <G1519> thorns <G0173>, and <G2532> the thorns <G0173> grew up <G0305> <G5627>, and <G2532> choked <G4846> <G5656> it <G0846>, and <G2532> it yielded <G1325> <G5656> no <G3756> fruit <G2590>.
8: And <G2532> other <G0243> fell <G4098> <G5627> on <G1519> good <G2570> ground <G1093>, and <G2532> did yield <G1325> <G5707> fruit <G2590> that sprang up <G0305> <G5723> and <G2532> increased <G0837> <G5723>; and <G2532> brought forth <G5342> <G5707>, some <G1520> thirty <G5144>, and <G2532> some <G1520> sixty <G1835>, and <G2532> some <G1520> an hundred <G1540>.
9: And <G2532> he said <G3004> <G5707> unto them <G0846>, He that hath <G2192> <G5723> ears <G3775> to hear <G0191> <G5721>, let him hear <G0191> <G5720>.
10: And <G1161> when <G3753> he was <G1096> <G5633> alone <G2651>, they that were about <G4012> him with <G4862> the twelve <G1427> asked <G2065> <G5656> of him <G0846> the parable <G3850>.
11: And <G2532> he said <G3004> <G5707> unto them <G0846>, Unto you <G5213> it is given <G1325> <G5769> to know <G1097> <G5629> the mystery <G3466> of the kingdom <G0932> of God <G2316>: but <G1161> unto them <G1565> that are without <G1854>, all [these] things <G3956> are done <G1096> <G5736> in <G1722> parables <G3850>:
12: That <G2443> seeing <G0991> <G5723> they may see <G0991> <G5725>, and <G2532> not <G3361> perceive <G1492> <G5632>; and <G2532> hearing <G0191> <G5723> they may hear <G0191> <G5725>, and <G2532> not <G3361> understand <G4920> <G5725>; lest at any time <G3379> they should be converted <G1994> <G5661>, and <G2532> [their] sins <G0265> should be forgiven <G0863> <G5686> them <G0846>.
13: And <G2532> he said <G3004> <G5719> unto them <G0846>, Know ye <G1492> <G5758> not <G3756> this <G5026> parable <G3850>? and <G2532> how then <G4459> will ye know <G1097> <G5695> all <G3956> parables <G3850>?
14: The sower <G4687> <G5723> soweth <G4687> <G5719> the word <G3056>.
15: And <G1161> these <G3778> are they <G1526> <G5748> by <G3844> the way side <G3598>, where <G3699> the word <G3056> is sown <G4687> <G5743>; but <G2532> when <G3752> they have heard <G0191> <G5661>, Satan <G4567> cometh <G2064> <G5736> immediately <G2112>, and <G2532> taketh away <G0142> <G5719> the word <G3056> that was sown <G4687> <G5772> in <G1722> their <G0846> hearts <G2588>.
16: And <G2532> these <G3778> are they <G1526> <G5748> likewise <G3668> which are sown <G4687> <G5746> on <G1909> stony ground <G4075>; who <G3739>, when <G3752> they have heard <G0191> <G5661> the word <G3056>, immediately <G2112> receive <G2983> <G5719> it <G0846> with <G3326> gladness <G5479>;
17: And <G2532> have <G2192> <G5719> no <G3756> root <G4491> in <G1722> themselves <G1438>, and <G0235> so endure <G1526> <G5748> but for a time <G4340>: afterward <G1534>, when affliction <G2347> or persecution <G1375> ariseth <G1096> <G5637> for <G1223> the word's sake <G3056>, immediately <G2112> they are offended <G4624> <G5743>.
18: And <G2532> these <G3778> are <G1526> <G5748> they which are <G1526> <G5748> sown <G4687> <G5746> among <G1519> thorns <G0173>; such as <G3778> hear <G0191> <G5723> the word <G3056>,
19: And <G2532> the cares <G3308> of this <G5127> world <G0165>, and <G2532> the deceitfulness <G0539> of riches <G4149>, and <G2532> the lusts <G1939> of <G4012> other things <G3062> entering in <G1531> <G5740>, choke <G4846> <G5719> the word <G3056>, and <G2532> it becometh <G1096> <G5736> unfruitful <G0175>.
20: And <G2532> these <G3778> are <G1526> <G5748> they which are sown <G4687> <G5651> on <G1909> good <G2570> ground <G1093>; such as <G3748> hear <G0191> <G5719> the word <G3056>, and <G2532> receive <G3858> <G5736> [it], and <G2532> bring forth fruit <G2592> <G5719>, some <G1520> thirtyfold <G5144>, some <G2532> <G1520> sixty <G1835>, and <G2532> some <G1520> an hundred <G1540>.
21: And <G2532> he said <G3004> <G5707> unto them <G0846>, Is <G3385> a candle <G3088> brought <G2064> <G5736> to <G2443> be put <G5087> <G5686> under <G5259> a bushel <G3426>, or <G2228> under <G5259> a bed <G2825>? and not <G3756> to <G2443> be set <G2007> <G5686> on <G1909> a candlestick <G3087>?
22: For <G1063> there is <G2076> <G5748> nothing <G3756> hid <G2927> <G5100>, which <G3739> shall <G5319> <G0000> not <G3362> be manifested <G5319> <G5686>; neither <G3761> was any thing kept <G1096> <G5633> secret <G0614>, but <G0235> that <G2443> it should come <G2064> <G5632> abroad <G1519> <G5318>.
23: If any man <G1536> have <G2192> <G5719> ears <G3775> to hear <G0191> <G5721>, let him hear <G0191> <G5720>.
24: And <G2532> he said <G3004> <G5707> unto them <G0846>, Take heed <G0991> <G5720> what <G5101> ye hear <G0191> <G5719>: with <G1722> what <G3739> measure <G3358> ye mete <G3354> <G5719>, it shall be measured <G3354> <G5701> to you <G5213>: and <G2532> unto you <G5213> that hear <G0191> <G5723> shall more be given <G4369> <G5701>.
25: For <G1063> <G0302> he that <G3739> hath <G2192> <G5725>, to him <G0846> shall be given <G1325> <G5701>: and <G2532> he that <G3739> hath <G2192> <G5719> not <G3756>, from <G0575> him <G0846> shall be taken <G0142> <G5701> even <G2532> that which <G3739> he hath <G2192> <G5719>.
26: And <G2532> he said <G3004> <G5707>, So <G3779> is <G2076> <G5748> the kingdom <G0932> of God <G2316>, as <G5613> if <G1437> a man <G0444> should cast <G0906> <G5632> seed <G4703> into <G1909> the ground <G1093>;
27: And <G2532> should sleep <G2518> <G5725>, and <G2532> rise <G1453> <G5747> night <G3571> and <G2532> day <G2250>, and <G2532> the seed <G4703> should spring <G0985> <G5725> and <G2532> grow up <G3373> <G5747>, he <G0846> knoweth <G1492> <G5758> not <G3756> how <G5613>.
28: For <G1063> the earth <G1093> bringeth forth fruit <G2592> <G5719> of herself <G0844>; first <G4412> the blade <G5528>, then <G1534> the ear <G4719>, after that <G1534> the full <G4134> corn <G4621> in <G1722> the ear <G4719>.
29: But <G1161> when <G3752> the fruit <G2590> is brought forth <G3860> <G5632>, immediately <G2112> he putteth in <G0649> <G5719> the sickle <G1407>, because <G3754> the harvest <G2326> is come <G3936> <G5758>.
30: And <G2532> he said <G3004> <G5707>, Whereunto <G5101> shall we liken <G3666> <G5661> the kingdom <G0932> of God <G2316>? or <G2228> with <G1722> what <G4169> comparison <G3850> shall we compare <G3846> <G5632> it <G0846>?
31: [It is] like <G5613> a grain <G2848> of mustard seed <G4615>, which <G3739>, when <G3752> it is sown <G4687> <G5652> in <G1909> the earth <G1093>, is less <G3398> than all <G3956> the seeds <G4690> that be <G2076> <G5748> in <G1909> the earth <G1093>:
32: But <G2532> when <G3752> it is sown <G4687> <G5652>, it groweth up <G0305> <G5719>, and <G2532> becometh <G1096> <G5736> greater than <G3187> all <G3956> herbs <G3001>, and <G2532> shooteth out <G4160> <G5719> great <G3173> branches <G2798>; so that <G5620> the fowls <G4071> of the air <G3772> may <G1410> <G5738> lodge <G2681> <G5721> under <G5259> the shadow <G4639> of it <G0846>.
33: And <G2532> with many <G4183> such <G5108> parables <G3850> spake he <G2980> <G5707> the word <G3056> unto them <G0846>, as <G2531> they were able <G1410> <G5711> to hear <G0191> <G5721> [it].
34: But <G1161> without <G5565> a parable <G3850> spake <G2980> <G5707> he not <G3756> unto them <G0846>: and <G1161> when they were alone <G2398> <G2596>, he expounded <G1956> <G5707> all things <G3956> to his <G0848> disciples <G3101>.
35: And <G2532> the <G1722> same <G1565> day <G2250>, when the even <G3798> was come <G1096> <G5637>, he saith <G3004> <G5719> unto them <G0846>, Let us pass over <G1330> <G5632> unto <G1519> the other side <G4008>.
36: And <G2532> when they had sent away <G0863> <G5631> the multitude <G3793>, they took <G3880> <G5719> him <G0846> even as <G5613> he was <G2258> <G5713> in <G1722> the ship <G4143>. And <G1161> there were <G2258> <G5713> also <G2532> with <G3326> him <G0846> other <G0243> little ships <G4142>.
37: And <G2532> there arose <G1096> <G5736> a great <G3173> storm <G2978> of wind <G0417>, and <G1161> the waves <G2949> beat <G1911> <G5707> into <G1519> the ship <G4143>, so that <G5620> it <G0846> was <G1072> <G0000> now <G2235> full <G1072> <G5745>.
38: And <G2532> he was <G2258> <G5713> in <G1909> the hinder part of the ship <G4403>, asleep <G2518> <G5723> on <G1909> a pillow <G4344>: and <G2532> they awake <G1326> <G5719> him <G0846>, and <G2532> say <G3004> <G5719> unto him <G0846>, Master <G1320>, carest <G3199> <G5719> thou <G4671> not <G3756> that <G3754> we perish <G0622> <G5731>?
39: And <G2532> he arose <G1326> <G5685>, and rebuked <G2008> <G5656> the wind <G0417>, and <G2532> said <G2036> <G5627> unto the sea <G2281>, Peace <G4623> <G5720>, be still <G5392> <G5770>. And <G2532> the wind <G0417> ceased <G2869> <G5656>, and <G2532> there was <G1096> <G5633> a great <G3173> calm <G1055>.
40: And <G2532> he said <G2036> <G5627> unto them <G0846>, Why <G5101> are ye <G2075> <G5748> so <G3779> fearful <G1169>? how is it <G4459> that ye have <G2192> <G5719> no <G3756> faith <G4102>?
41: And <G2532> they feared <G5399> <G5675> exceedingly <G5401> <G3173>, and <G2532> said <G3004> <G5707> one <G0240> <G0000> to <G4314> another <G0240>, What <G5101> manner of man <G0686> is <G2076> <G5748> this <G3778>, that <G3754> even <G2532> the wind <G0417> and <G2532> the sea <G2281> obey <G5219> <G5719> him <G0846>?
