Mark 4:25-35

25 For it shall be given to him that hath, and it shall be taken away from him that hath not, also that that he hath. [Forsooth it shall be given to him that hath, and if man hath not, yea this that he hath shall be taken away from him.]
26 And he said, So the kingdom of God is, as if a man cast seed into the earth,
27 and he sleep, and it rise up night and day [and it sleep, and rise up in night and day], and bring forth seed, and wax fast, while he knoweth not.
28 For the earth [by his own working/by his own will] maketh fruit, first the grass, afterward the ear, and after full fruit in the ear [afterward full fruit in the ear].
29 And when of itself it hath brought forth fruit, at once [anon] he sendeth a sickle, for reaping time is come.
30 And he said, To what thing shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what parable shall we comparison it?
31 As a corn of mustard seed, which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all seeds that be in the earth;
32 and when it is sprung up, it waxeth into a tree, and is made greater than all herbs [and when it is sown, it waxeth into a tree, and is made more than all worts, or herbs]; and it maketh great branches, so that [the] birds of heaven may dwell [be able to dwell] under the shadow thereof.
33 And in many such parables he spake to them the word, as they might hear;
34 and he spake not to them without parable. But he expounded to his disciples all things by themselves [+Forsooth he expounded to his disciples all things on sides hand/on sides half, or by themselves].
35 And he said to them in that day, when evening was come, Pass we over to the other side. [And he saith to them in that day, when evening was made, Pass we again-ward.]
