Mark 4:17-27 (American Standard Version)
View In My Bible
17
and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble.
18
And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word,
19
and the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
20
And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
21
And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, [and] not to be put on the stand?
22
For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was [anything] made secret, but that it should come to light.
23
If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.
24
And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete it shall be measured unto you; and more shall be given unto you.
25
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
26
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth;
27
and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how.
