Mark 4:12 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Once again Jesus began teaching by the lakeshore. A very large crowd soon gathered around him, so he got into a boat. Then he sat in the boat while all the people remained on the shore.
2 He taught them by telling many stories in the form of parables, such as this one:
3 "Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seed.
4 As he scattered it across his field, some of the seed fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate it.
5 Other seed fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seed sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow.
6 But the plant soon wilted under the hot sun, and since it didn't have deep roots, it died.
7 Other seed fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants so they produced no grain.
8 Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they sprouted, grew, and produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted!"
9 Then he said, "Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand."
10 Later, when Jesus was alone with the twelve disciples and with the others who were gathered around, they asked him what the parables meant.
11 He replied, "You are permitted to understand the secret of the Kingdom of God. But I use parables for everything I say to outsiders,
12 so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled: 'When they see what I do, they will learn nothing. When they hear what I say, they will not understand. Otherwise, they will turn to me and be forgiven.' "
13 Then Jesus said to them, "If you can't understand the meaning of this parable, how will you understand all the other parables?
14 The farmer plants seed by taking God's word to others.
15 The seed that fell on the footpath represents those who hear the message, only to have Satan come at once and take it away.
16 The seed on the rocky soil represents those who hear the message and immediately receive it with joy.
17 But since they don't have deep roots, they don't last long. They fall away as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing God's word.
18 The seed that fell among the thorns represents others who hear God's word,
19 but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of wealth, and the desire for other things, so no fruit is produced.
20 And the seed that fell on good soil represents those who hear and accept God's word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!"
21 Then Jesus asked them, "Would anyone light a lamp and then put it under a basket or under a bed? Of course not! A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light will shine.
22 For everything that is hidden will eventually be brought into the open, and every secret will be brought to light.
23 Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand."
24 Then he added, "Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given-- and you will receive even more.
25 To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them."
26 Jesus also said, "The Kingdom of God is like a farmer who scatters seed on the ground.
27 Night and day, while he's asleep or awake, the seed sprouts and grows, but he does not understand how it happens.
28 The earth produces the crops on its own. First a leaf blade pushes through, then the heads of wheat are formed, and finally the grain ripens.
29 And as soon as the grain is ready, the farmer comes and harvests it with a sickle, for the harvest time has come."
30 Jesus said, "How can I describe the Kingdom of God? What story should I use to illustrate it?
31 It is like a mustard seed planted in the ground. It is the smallest of all seeds,
32 but it becomes the largest of all garden plants; it grows long branches, and birds can make nests in its shade."
33 Jesus used many similar stories and illustrations to teach the people as much as they could understand.
34 In fact, in his public ministry he never taught without using parables; but afterward, when he was alone with his disciples, he explained everything to them.
35 As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, "Let's cross to the other side of the lake."
36 So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed).
37 But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water.
38 Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, "Teacher, don't you care that we're going to drown?"
39 When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the water, "Silence! Be still!" Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm.
40 Then he asked them, "Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
41 The disciples were absolutely terrified. "Who is this man?" they asked each other. "Even the wind and waves obey him!"
1 And G2532 he began G756 again G3825 to teach G1321 by G3844 the G3588 sea side: G2281 and G2532 there was gathered G4863 unto G4314 him G846 a great G4183 multitude, G3793 so that G5620 he G846 entered G1684 into G1519 a ship, G4143 and sat G2521 in G1722 the G3588 sea; G2281 and G2532 the G3588 whole G3956 multitude G3793 was G2258 by G4314 the G3588 sea G2281 on G1909 the G3588 land. G1093
2 And G2532 he taught G1321 them G846 many things G4183 by G1722 parables, G3850 and G2532 said G3004 unto them G846 in G1722 his G848 doctrine, G1322
3 Hearken; G191 Behold, G2400 there went out G1831 a sower G4687 to sow: G4687
4 And G2532 it came to pass, G1096 as he sowed, G4687 some G3739 G3303 fell G4098 by G3844 the G3588 way side, G3598 and G2532 the G3588 fowls G4071 of the G3588 air G3772 came G2064 and G2532 devoured it up G2719 G846 .
5 And G1161 some G243 fell G4098 on G1909 stony ground, G4075 where G3699 it had G2192 not G3756 much G4183 earth; G1093 and G2532 immediately G2112 it sprang up, G1816 because it had G2192 no G3361 depth G899 of earth: G1093
6 But G1161 when the sun G2246 was up, G393 it was scorched; G2739 and G2532 because it had G2192 no G3361 root, G4491 it withered away. G3583
7 And G2532 some G243 fell G4098 among G1519 thorns, G173 and G2532 the G3588 thorns G173 grew up, G305 and G2532 choked G4846 it, G846 and G2532 it yielded G1325 no G3756 fruit. G2590
8 And G2532 other G243 fell G4098 on G1519 good G2570 ground, G1093 and G2532 did yield G1325 fruit G2590 that sprang up G305 and G2532 increased; G837 and G2532 brought forth, G5342 some G1520 thirty, G5144 and G2532 some G1520 sixty, G1835 and G2532 some G1520 a hundred. G1540
9 And G2532 he said G3004 unto them, G846 He that hath G2192 ears G3775 to hear, G191 let him hear. G191
10 And G1161 when G3753 he was G1096 alone, G2651 they G3588 that were about G4012 him G846 with G4862 the G3588 twelve G1427 asked G2065 of him G846 the G3588 parable. G3850
11 And G2532 he said G3004 unto them, G846 Unto you G5213 it is given G1325 to know G1097 the G3588 mystery G3466 of the G3588 kingdom G932 of God: G2316 but G1161 unto them G1565 that G3588 are without, G1854 all these things G3956 are done G1096 in G1722 parables: G3850
12 That G2443 seeing G991 they may see, G991 and G2532 not G3361 perceive; G1492 and G2532 hearing G191 they may hear, G191 and G2532 not G3361 understand; G4920 lest at any time G3379 they should be converted, G1994 and G2532 their sins G265 should be forgiven G863 them. G846
13 And G2532 he said G3004 unto them, G846 Know G1492 ye not G3756 this G5026 parable G3850 ? and G2532 how G4459 then will ye know G1097 all G3956 parables G3850 ?
14 The G3588 sower G4687 soweth G4687 the G3588 word. G3056
15 And G1161 these G3778 are G1526 they G3588 by G3844 the G3588 way side, G3598 where G3699 the G3588 word G3056 is sown; G4687 but G2532 when G3752 they have heard, G191 Satan G4567 cometh G2064 immediately, G2112 and G2532 taketh away G142 the G3588 word G3056 that was sown G4687 in G1722 their G846 hearts. G2588
16 And G2532 these G3778 are G1526 they likewise which are sown G4687 G3668 on G1909 stony ground; G4075 who, G3739 when G3752 they have heard G191 the G3588 word, G3056 immediately G2112 receive G2983 it G846 with G3326 gladness; G5479
17 And G2532 have G2192 no G3756 root G4491 in G1722 themselves, G1438 and G235 so G1526 endure but for a time: G4340 afterward, G1534 when affliction G2347 or G2228 persecution G1375 ariseth G1096 for the word's sake G1223 G3588, G3056 immediately G2112 they are offended. G4624
18 And G2532 these G3778 are G1526 they which are sown G4687 among G1519 thorns; G173 such as hear G191 the G3588 word, G3056
19 And G2532 the G3588 cares G3308 of this G5127 world, G165 and G2532 the G3588 deceitfulness G539 of riches, G4149 and G2532 the G3588 lusts G1939 of G4012 other things G3062 entering in, G1531 choke G4846 the G3588 word, G3056 and G2532 it becometh G1096 unfruitful. G175
20 And G2532 these G3778 are G1526 they which are sown G4687 on G1909 good G2570 ground; G1093 such as G3748 hear G191 the G3588 word, G3056 and G2532 receive G3858 it, and G2532 bring forth fruit, G2592 some G1520 thirtyfold G5144 G2532 , some G1520 sixty, G1835 and G2532 some G1520 a hundred. G1540
21 And G2532 he said G3004 unto them, G846 Is a G3385 candle G3088 brought G2064 to G2443 be put G5087 under G5259 a bushel, G3426 or G2228 under G5259 a bed G2825 ? and not G3756 to G2443 be set G2007 on G1909 a candlestick G3087 ?
22 For G1063 there is G2076 nothing G3756 G5100 hid, G2927 which G3739 shall not G3362 be manifested; G5319 neither G3761 was G1096 any thing kept secret, G614 but G235 that G2443 it should come G2064 abroad G1519 G5318 .
23 If any man G1536 have G2192 ears G3775 to hear, G191 let him hear. G191
24 And G2532 he said G3004 unto them, G846 Take heed G991 what G5101 ye hear: G191 with G1722 what G3739 measure G3358 ye mete, G3354 it shall be measured G3354 to you: G5213 and G2532 unto you G5213 that hear G191 shall more be given. G4369
25 For G1063 he G3739 G302 that hath, G2192 to him G846 shall be given: G1325 and G2532 he G3739 that hath G2192 not, G3756 from G575 him G846 shall be taken G142 even G2532 that which G3739 he hath. G2192
26 And G2532 he said, G3004 So G3779 is G2076 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God, G2316 as G5613 if G1437 a man G444 should cast G906 seed G4703 into G1909 the G3588 ground; G1093
27 And G2532 should sleep, G2518 and G2532 rise G1453 night G3571 and G2532 day, G2250 and G2532 the G3588 seed G4703 should spring G985 and G2532 grow up, G3373 he G846 knoweth G1492 not G3756 how. G5613
28 For G1063 the G3588 earth G1093 bringeth forth fruit G2592 of herself; G844 first G4412 the blade, G5528 then G1534 the ear, G4719 after G1534 that the G3588 full G4134 corn G4621 in G1722 the G3588 ear. G4719
29 But G1161 when G3752 the G3588 fruit G2590 is brought forth, G3860 immediately G2112 he putteth in G649 the G3588 sickle, G1407 because G3754 the G3588 harvest G2326 is come. G3936
30 And G2532 he said, G3004 Whereunto G5101 shall we liken G3666 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 ? or G2228 with G1722 what G4169 comparison G3850 shall we compare G3846 it G846 ?
31 It is like G5613 a grain G2848 of mustard seed, G4615 which, G3739 when G3752 it is sown G4687 in G1909 the G3588 earth, G1093 is G2076 less G3398 than all G3956 the G3588 seeds G4690 that G3588 be G2076 in G1909 the G3588 earth: G1093
32 But G2532 when G3752 it is sown, G4687 it groweth up, G305 and G2532 becometh G1096 greater G3187 than all G3956 herbs, G3001 and G2532 shooteth out G4160 great G3173 branches; G2798 so that G5620 the G3588 fowls G4071 of the G3588 air G3772 may G1410 lodge G2681 under G5259 the G3588 shadow G4639 of it. G846
33 And G2532 with many G4183 such G5108 parables G3850 spake G2980 he the G3588 word G3056 unto them, G846 as G2531 they were able G1410 to hear G191 it.
34 But G1161 without G5565 a parable G3850 spake G2980 he not G3756 unto them: G846 and G1161 when they were alone G2596 G2398 , he expounded G1956 all things G3956 to his G848 disciples. G3101
35 And G2532 the G1722 same G1565 day, G2250 when the even G3798 was come, G1096 he saith G3004 unto them, G846 Let us pass over G1330 unto G1519 the G3588 other side. G4008
36 And G2532 when they had sent away G863 the G3588 multitude, G3793 they took G3880 him G846 even as G5613 he was G2258 in G1722 the G3588 ship. G4143 And G1161 there were G2258 also G2532 with G3326 him G846 other G243 little ships. G4142
37 And G2532 there arose G1096 a great G3173 storm G2978 of wind, G417 and G1161 the G3588 waves G2949 beat G1911 into G1519 the G3588 ship, G4143 so that G5620 it G846 was now full G1072 G2235 .
38 And G2532 he G846 was G2258 in G1909 the G3588 hinder part of the ship, G4403 asleep G2518 on G1909 a pillow: G4344 and G2532 they awake G1326 him, G846 and G2532 say G3004 unto him, G846 Master, G1320 carest G3199 thou G4671 not G3756 that G3754 we perish G622 ?
39 And G2532 he arose, G1326 and rebuked G2008 the G3588 wind, G417 and G2532 said G2036 unto the G3588 sea, G2281 Peace, G4623 be still. G5392 And G2532 the G3588 wind G417 ceased, G2869 and G2532 there was G1096 a great G3173 calm. G1055
40 And G2532 he said G2036 unto them, G846 Why G5101 are G2075 ye so G3779 fearful G1169 ? how G4459 is it that ye have G2192 no G3756 faith G4102 ?
41 And G2532 they feared G5399 exceedingly G3173 G5401 , and G2532 said G3004 one to another G240 G4314 , What manner of man G5101 G686 is G2076 this, G3778 that G3754 even G2532 the G3588 wind G417 and G2532 the G3588 sea G2281 obey G5219 him G846 ?
