2 He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said:
3 "Hearken! Behold, there went out a sower to sow.
3 “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.
4 And it came to pass as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
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.
5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.
6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain.
8 And other fell on good ground; and it yielded fruit that sprang up and increased and brought forth: some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundredfold."
8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.”
9 And He said unto them, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
9 Then Jesus said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”
10 And when He was alone, those who were about Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable.

11 He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said 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.'"
12 so that, “ ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’”
13 And He said unto them, "Know you not this parable? And how then will ye know all parables?
13 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable?
14 The sower soweth the Word.
14 The farmer sows the word.
15 And these are they by the wayside, where the Word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately and taketh away the Word that was sown in their hearts.
15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground who, when they have heard the Word, immediately receive it with gladness;
16 Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy.
17 but they 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 are offended.
17 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns, such as hear the Word,
18 Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word;
19 but 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.
19 but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.
20 And these are they which are sown on good ground, such as hear the Word and receive it and bring forth fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred."
20 Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.”
21 And He said unto them, "Is a candle brought to be put under a basket or under a bed, and not to be set on a candlestick?
21 He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand?
22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was anything kept secret, but that it should be revealed.
22 For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open.
23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear."
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.”
24 And He said unto them, "Take heed what ye hear. With what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you; and unto you that hear shall more be given.
24 “Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even more.
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."
25 Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.”
26 And He said, "So is the Kingdom of God as if a man should cast seed into the ground,
26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground.
27 and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how.
27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself: first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head.
29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come."
29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”
30 And He said, "To what shall we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what comparison shall we compare it?
30 Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe 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.
31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on 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 the shadow of it."
32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”
33 And with many such parables He spoke the Word unto them, as they were able to hear it;
33 With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand.
34 but without a parable spoke He not unto them. And when they were alone, He expounded all things to His disciples.

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 little boats.
36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was now full.
37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.
38 But He was in the hind part of the boat, asleep on a pillow; and they awoke Him and said unto Him, "Master, carest thou not that we perish?"
38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”
39 And He arose, and rebuked the wind and said unto the sea, "Peace, be still." And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
40 And He said unto them, "Why are you so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?"
40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still 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?"
41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
