Mark 4:1 (NIRV) New International Reader's Version

1 Again Jesus began to teach by the Sea of Galilee. The crowd that gathered around him was very large. So he got into a boat. He sat down in it out on the lake. All the people were along the shore at the water's edge.
2 He taught them many things by using stories. In his teaching he said,
3 "Listen! A farmer went out to plant his seed.
4 He scattered the seed on the ground. Some fell on a path. Birds came and ate it up.
5 Some seed fell on rocky places, where there wasn't much soil. The plants came up quickly, because the soil wasn't deep.
6 When the sun came up, it burned the plants. They dried up because they had no roots.
7 Other seed fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and crowded out the plants. So the plants did not bear grain.
8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It grew up and produced a crop 30, 60, or even 100 times more than the farmer planted."
9 Then Jesus said, "Those who have ears should listen."
10 Later Jesus was alone. The Twelve asked him about the stories. So did the others around him.
11 He told them, "The secret of God's kingdom has been given to you. But to outsiders everything is told by using stories.
12 In that way, " 'They will see but never know what they are seeing. They will hear but never understand. Otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!' " --(Isaiah 6:9,10)
13 Then Jesus said to them, "Don't you understand this story? Then how will you understand any stories of this kind?
14 The seed the farmer plants is God's message.
15 What is seed scattered on a path like? The message is planted. The people hear the message. Then Satan comes. He takes away the message that was planted in them.
16 And what is seed scattered on rocky places like? The people hear the message. At once they receive it with joy.
17 But they have no roots. So they last only a short time. They quickly fall away from the faith when trouble or suffering comes because of the message.
18 And what is seed scattered among thorns like? The people hear the message.
19 But then the worries of this life come to them. Wealth comes with its false promises. The people also long for other things. All of those are the kinds of things that crowd out the message. They keep it from producing fruit.
20 And what is seed scattered on good soil like? The people hear the message. They accept it. They produce a good crop 30, 60, or even 100 times more than the farmer planted."
21 Jesus said to them, "Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a large bowl or a bed? Don't you put it on its stand?
22 What is hidden is meant to be seen. And what is put out of sight is meant to be brought out into the open.
23 Everyone who has ears should listen."
24 "Think carefully about what you hear," he said. "As you give, so you will receive. In fact, you will receive even more.
25 If you have something, you will be given more. If you have nothing, even what you have will be taken away from you."
26 Jesus also said, "Here is what God's kingdom is like. A farmer scatters seed on the ground.
27 Night and day the seed comes up and grows. It happens whether the farmer sleeps or gets up. He doesn't know how it happens.
28 All by itself the soil produces grain. First the stalk comes up. Then the head appears. Finally, the full grain appears in the head.
29 Before long the grain ripens. So the farmer cuts it down, because the harvest is ready."
30 Again Jesus said, "What can we say God's kingdom is like? What story can we use to explain it?
31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed planted in the ground.
32 But when you plant the seed, it grows. It becomes the largest of all garden plants. Its branches are so big that birds can rest in its shade."
33 Using many stories like those, Jesus spoke the word to them. He told them as much as they could understand.
34 He did not say anything to them without using a story. But when he was alone with his disciples, he explained everything.
35 When evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, "Let's go over to the other side of the lake."
36 They left the crowd behind. And they took him along in a boat, just as he was. There were also other boats with him.
37 A wild storm came up. Waves crashed over the boat. It was about to sink.
38 Jesus was in the back, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him up. They said, "Teacher! Don't you care if we drown?"
39 He got up and ordered the wind to stop. He said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down. And it was completely calm.
40 He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Don't you have any faith at all yet?"
41 They were terrified. They asked each other, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"
1 And G2532 CONJ he began G756 V-ADI-3S again G3825 ADV to teach G1321 V-PAN by G3844 PREP the G3588 T-ASF sea side G2281 N-ASF : and G2532 CONJ there was gathered G4863 V-API-3S unto G4314 PREP him G846 P-ASM a great G4183 A-NSM multitude G3793 N-NSM , so that G5620 CONJ he G846 P-ASM entered G1684 V-2AAP-ASM into G1519 PREP a ship G4143 N-ASN , and sat G2521 V-PNN in G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DSF sea G2281 N-DSF ; and G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-DSF whole G3956 A-NSM multitude G3793 N-NSM was G2258 V-IXI-3S by G4314 PREP the G3588 T-ASF sea G2281 N-ASF on G1909 PREP the G3588 T-GSF land G1093 N-GSF .

3 Hearken G191 V-PAM-2P ; Behold G2400 V-2AAM-2S , there went out G1831 V-2AAI-3S a sower G4687 V-PAP-NSM to sow G4687 V-AAN :
4 And G2532 CONJ it came to pass G1096 V-2ADI-3S , as he sowed G4687 V-PAN , some G3739 R-NSN fell G4098 V-2AAI-3S by G3844 PREP the G3588 T-ASF way side G3598 N-ASF , and G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NPN fowls G4071 N-NPN of the G3588 T-NPN air G3772 came G2064 V-2AAI-3S and G2532 CONJ devoured it up G2719 V-2AAI-3S .
5 And G1161 CONJ some G243 A-NSN fell G4098 V-2AAI-3S on G1909 PREP stony ground G4075 A-ASN , where G3699 ADV it had G2192 V-IAI-3S not G3756 PRT-N much G4183 A-ASF earth G1093 N-ASF ; and G2532 CONJ immediately G2112 ADV it sprang up G1816 V-AAI-3S , because it G3588 T-ASN had G2192 V-PAN no G3361 PRT-N depth G899 N-ASN of earth G1093 N-GSF :
6 But G1161 CONJ when the sun G2246 N-GSM was up G393 V-AAP-GSM , it was scorched G2739 V-API-3S ; and G2532 CONJ because it G3588 T-ASN had G2192 V-PAN no G3361 PRT-N root G4491 N-ASF , it withered away G3583 V-API-3S .
7 And G2532 CONJ some G243 A-NSN fell G4098 V-2AAI-3S among G1519 PREP thorns G173 N-APF , and G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NPF thorns G173 N-NPF grew up G305 V-2AAI-3P , and G2532 CONJ choked G4846 V-AAI-3P it G846 P-ASN , and G2532 CONJ it yielded G1325 V-AAI-3S no G3756 PRT-N fruit G2590 N-ASM .
8 And G2532 CONJ other G243 A-NSN fell G4098 V-2AAI-3S on G1519 PREP good G2570 A-ASF ground G1093 N-ASF , and G2532 CONJ did yield G1325 V-IAI-3S fruit G2590 N-ASM that sprang up G305 V-PAP-ASM and G2532 CONJ increased G837 V-PAP-ASM ; and G2532 CONJ brought forth G5342 V-IAI-3S , some G1520 thirty G5144 A-NUI , and G2532 CONJ some G1520 sixty G1835 A-NUI , and G2532 CONJ some G1520 a hundred G1540 A-NUI .
9 And G2532 CONJ he said G3004 V-IAI-3S unto them G846 , He that hath G2192 V-PAP-NSM ears G3775 N-APN to hear G191 V-PAN , let him hear G191 V-PAM-3S .
10 And G1161 CONJ when G3753 ADV he was G1096 V-2ADI-3S alone G2651 ADV , they G3588 T-NPM that were about G4012 PREP him G846 P-ASM with G4862 PREP the G3588 T-DPM twelve G1427 A-NUI asked G2065 V-AAI-3P of him G846 P-ASM the G3588 T-ASF parable G3850 N-ASF .
11 And G2532 CONJ he said G3004 V-IAI-3S unto them G846 P-DPM , Unto you G5213 P-2DP it is given G1325 V-RPI-3S to know G1097 V-2AAN the G3588 T-ASN mystery G3466 N-ASN of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF kingdom G932 N-GSF of God G2316 N-GSM : but G1161 CONJ unto them G1565 D-DPM that G3588 T-DPM are without G1854 ADV , all these things G3956 A-NPN are done G1096 V-PNI-3S in G1722 PREP parables G3850 N-DPF :

14 The G3588 T-NSM sower G4687 V-PAP-NSM soweth G4687 V-PAI-3S the G3588 T-ASM word G3056 N-ASM .
15 And G1161 CONJ these G3778 D-NPM are G1526 V-PXI-3P they G3588 T-NPM by G3844 PREP the G3588 T-ASF way side G3598 N-ASF , where G3699 ADV the G3588 T-NSM word G3056 N-NSM is sown G4687 V-PPI-3S ; but G2532 CONJ when G3752 CONJ they have heard G191 V-AAS-3P , Satan G4567 N-NSM cometh G2064 V-PNI-3S immediately G2112 ADV , and G2532 CONJ taketh away G142 V-PAI-3S the G3588 T-ASM word G3056 N-ASM that was sown G4687 V-RPP-ASM in G1722 PREP their G3588 T-DPF hearts G2588 N-DPF .

19 And G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NPF cares G3308 N-NPF of G3588 T-GSM this G3588 T-GSM world G165 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF deceitfulness G539 N-NSF of riches G4149 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF lusts G1939 N-NPF of G3588 T-APN other things G3062 A-APN entering in G1531 V-PNP-NPF , choke G4846 V-PAI-3P the G3588 T-ASM word G3056 N-ASM , and G2532 CONJ it becometh G1096 V-PNI-3S unfruitful G175 A-NSM .
20 And G2532 CONJ these G3778 D-NPM are G1526 V-PXI-3P they G3588 T-NPM which G3588 T-NPM are sown G4687 V-2APP-NPM on G1909 PREP good G2570 A-ASF ground G1093 N-ASF ; such as G3748 R-NPM hear G191 V-PAI-3P the G3588 T-ASM word G3056 N-ASM , and G2532 CONJ receive G3858 V-PNI-3P it , and G2532 CONJ bring forth fruit G2592 V-PAI-3P , some G1520 thirtyfold G5144 A-NUI , some G1520 sixty G1835 A-NUI , and G2532 CONJ some G1520 a hundred G1540 A-NUI .

23 If any man G1536 have G2192 V-PAI-3S ears G3775 N-APN to hear G191 V-PAN , let him hear G191 V-PAM-3S .
24 And G2532 CONJ he said G3004 V-IAI-3S unto them G846 P-DPM , Take heed G991 V-PAM-2P what G5101 I-ASN ye hear G191 V-PAI-2P : with G1722 PREP what G3739 R-DSN measure G3358 N-DSN ye mete G3354 V-PAI-2P , it shall be measured G3354 V-FPI-3S to you G5213 P-2DP : and G2532 CONJ unto you G3588 T-DPM that hear G191 V-PAP-DPM shall more be given G4369 V-FPI-3S .
25 For G1063 CONJ he R-NSM that hath G2192 V-PAS-3S , to him G846 P-DSM shall be given G1325 V-FPI-3S : and G2532 CONJ he G3739 R-NSM that hath G2192 V-PAI-3S not G3756 PRT-N , from G575 PREP him G846 P-GSM shall be taken G142 V-FPI-3S even G2532 CONJ that which G3739 R-NSM he hath G2192 V-PAI-3S .
26 And G2532 CONJ he said G3004 V-IAI-3S , So G3779 ADV is G2076 V-PXI-3S the G3588 T-NSF kingdom G932 N-NSF of God G2316 N-GSM , as G5613 ADV if G1437 COND a man G444 N-NSM should cast G906 V-2AAS-3S seed G4703 N-ASM into G1909 PREP the G3588 T-GSF ground G1093 N-GSF ;
27 And G2532 CONJ should sleep G2518 V-PAS-3S , and G2532 CONJ rise G1453 V-PPS-3S night G3571 N-ASF and G2532 CONJ day G2250 N-ASF , and G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NSM seed G4703 N-NSM should spring G985 V-PAS-3S and G2532 CONJ grow up G3373 V-PPS-3S , he G846 P-NSM knoweth G1492 V-RAI-3S not G3756 PRT-N how G5613 ADV .
28 For G1063 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF earth G1093 N-NSF bringeth forth fruit G2592 V-PAI-3S of herself G844 A-NSF ; first G4412 ADV the blade G5528 N-ASM , then G1534 ADV the ear G4719 N-ASM , after G1534 ADV that the G3588 T-DSM full G4134 A-ASM corn G4621 N-ASM in G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DSM ear G4719 N-DSM .
29 But G1161 CONJ when G3752 CONJ the G3588 T-NSM fruit G2590 N-NSM is brought forth G3860 V-2AAS-3S , immediately G2112 ADV he putteth in G649 V-PAI-3S the G3588 T-ASN sickle G1407 N-ASN , because G3754 CONJ the G3588 T-NSM harvest G2326 N-NSM is come G3936 V-RAI-3S .
30 And G2532 CONJ he said G3004 V-IAI-3S , Whereunto G5101 I-DSM shall we liken G3666 V-AAS-1P the G3588 T-ASF kingdom G932 N-ASF of God G2316 N-GSM ? or G2228 PRT with G1722 PREP what G4169 I-DSF comparison G3850 N-DSF shall we compare G3846 V-2AAS-1P it G846 P-ASF ?
31 It is like G5613 ADV a grain G2848 N-ASM of mustard seed G4615 N-GSN , which G3739 R-NSM , when G3752 CONJ it is sown G4687 V-2APS-3S in G1909 PREP the G3588 T-GSF earth G1093 N-GSF , is G2076 V-PXI-3S less G3398 A-NSM-C than all G3956 A-GPN the G3588 T-GPN seeds G4690 N-GPN that G3588 T-GPN be G2076 V-PXI-3S in G1909 PREP the G3588 T-GSF earth G1093 N-GSF :
32 But G2532 CONJ when G3752 CONJ it is sown G4687 V-2APS-3S , it groweth up G305 V-PAI-3S , and G2532 CONJ becometh G1096 V-PNI-3S greater G3187 A-NSM-C than all G3956 A-GPN herbs G3001 N-GPN , and G2532 CONJ shooteth out G4160 V-PAI-3S great G3173 A-APM branches G2798 N-APM ; so that G5620 CONJ the G3588 T-APN fowls G4071 N-APN of G3588 T-GSM the G3588 T-GSM air G3772 N-GSM may G1410 V-PNN lodge G2681 V-PAN under G5259 PREP the G3588 T-ASF shadow G4639 N-ASF of it G846 P-GSM .
33 And G2532 CONJ with many G4183 A-DPF such G5108 D-DPF parables G3850 N-DPF spake G2980 V-IAI-3S he G3588 T-ASM the G3588 T-ASM word G3056 N-ASM unto them G846 P-DPM , as G2531 ADV they were able G1410 V-INI-3P to hear G191 V-PAN it .
34 But G1161 CONJ without G5565 ADV a parable G3850 N-GSF spake G2980 V-IAI-3S he not G3756 PRT-N unto them G846 P-DPM : and G1161 CONJ when they were alone G2596 PREP , he expounded G1956 V-IAI-3S all things G3956 A-APN to his G3588 T-DPM disciples G3101 N-DPM .
35 And G2532 CONJ the G1722 PREP same G3588 T-DSF day G2250 N-DSF , when the even G3798 A-GSF was come G1096 V-2ADP-GSF , he saith G3004 V-PAI-3S unto them G846 P-DPM , Let us pass over G1330 V-2AAS-1P unto G1519 PREP the G3588 T-ASN other side G4008 ADV .
36 And G2532 CONJ when they had sent away G863 V-2AAP-NPM the G3588 T-ASM multitude G3793 N-ASM , they took G3880 V-PAI-3P him G846 P-ASM even as G5613 ADV he was G2258 V-IXI-3S in G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DSN ship G4143 N-DSN . And G1161 CONJ there were G2258 V-IXI-3S also G2532 CONJ with G3326 PREP him G846 P-GSM other G243 A-NPN little ships G4142 N-NPN .
37 And G2532 CONJ there arose G1096 V-PNI-3S a great G3173 A-NSF storm G2978 N-NSF of G3588 T-NPN wind G417 N-GSM , and G1161 CONJ the G3588 T-NPN waves G2949 N-NPN beat G1911 V-IAI-3S into G1519 PREP the G3588 T-ASN ship G4143 N-ASN , so that G5620 CONJ it G846 P-NSN was now full G1072 V-PPN .
38 And G2532 CONJ he G846 P-NSM was G2258 V-IXI-3S in G1909 PREP the G3588 T-DSF hinder part of the ship G4403 N-DSF , asleep G2518 V-PAP-NSM on G1909 PREP a pillow G4344 N-ASN : and G2532 CONJ they awake G1326 V-PAI-3P him G846 P-ASM , and G2532 CONJ say G3004 V-PAI-3P unto him G846 P-DSM , Master G1320 N-VSM , carest G3199 V-PQI-3S thou G4671 P-2DS not G3756 PRT-N that G3754 CONJ we perish G622 V-PMI-1P ?
39 And G2532 CONJ he arose G1326 V-APP-NSM , and rebuked G2008 V-AAI-3S the G3588 T-DSM wind G417 N-DSM , and G2532 CONJ said G2036 V-2AAI-3S unto the G3588 T-DSF sea G2281 N-DSF , Peace G4623 V-PAM-2S , be still G5392 V-RPM-2S . And G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NSM wind G417 N-NSM ceased G2869 V-AAI-3S , and G2532 CONJ there was G1096 V-2ADI-3S a great G3173 A-NSF calm G1055 N-NSF .
