1And he began agayne to teache by the seesyde. And there gadered to gedder vnto him moche people so greatly yt he entred into a ship and sate in the see and all the people was by the seeside on the shoore.Select Mark 4:1

2And he taught them many thynges in similitudes and sayde vnto them in his doctrine:Select Mark 4:2

3Herken to. Beholde There wet out a sower to sowe.Select Mark 4:3

4And it fortuned as he sowed that some fell by the waye syde and the fowles of the ayre came and devoured it vp.Select Mark 4:4

5Some fell on stony grounde where it had not moche erth: and by and by sprange vp because it had not deepth of erth:Select Mark 4:5

6but as sone as the sunne was vp it caught heet and because it had not rotynge wyddred awaye.Select Mark 4:6

7And some fell amonge the thornes and the thornes grewe vp and choked it so that it gave no frute.Select Mark 4:7

8And some fell vpon good grounde and dyd yelde frute that sproge and grewe and brought forthe: some thirty folde some sixtie folde and some an hundred folde.Select Mark 4:8

9And he sayde vnto them: he that hath eares to heare let him heare.Select Mark 4:9

10And when he was alone they yt were aboute him with ye .xii. axed him of ye similitude.Select Mark 4:10

11And he sayde vnto the. To you it is geve to knowe the mistery of the kyngdome of God. But vnto them that are wt out shall all thinges be done in similitudes:Select Mark 4:11

12yt when they se they shall se and not discerne: and when they heare they shall heare and not vnderstonde: leste at any tyme they shulde tourne and their synnes shuld be forgeve the.Select Mark 4:12

13And he sayde vnto the: Perceave ye not this similitude? how then shulde ye vnderstonde all other similitudes?Select Mark 4:13

14The sower soweth ye worde.Select Mark 4:14

15And they that are by the wayes syde where the worde is sowen are they to whom assone as they have herde it Satha cometh immediatly and takith awaye the worde that was sowe in their hertes.Select Mark 4:15

16And likewise they that are sowen on the stonye groude are they: which when they have harde the worde at once receave it wt gladnesSelect Mark 4:16

17yet have no rotes in them selves and so endure but a tyme: and anone as trouble and persecucion aryseth for ye wordes sake they fall immediatly.Select Mark 4:17

18And they that are sowe amoge the thornes are soche as heare ye worde:Select Mark 4:18

19and ye care of this worlde and ye disseytfulnes of ryches and the lustes of other thinges entre in and choocke ye worde and it is made vnfrutfull.Select Mark 4:19

20And those that weare sowe in good grounde are they that heare the worde and receave it and bringe forth frute some thirty folde some sixty folde some an hundred folde.Select Mark 4:20

21And he sayde vnto them: is ye candle lighted to be put vnder a busshell or vnder ye table and not rather to be put on a cadelstick?Select Mark 4:21

22For there is nothinge so prevy that shall not be opened: nether so secreet but that it shall come abroade.Select Mark 4:22

23Yf eny man have eares to heare let him heare.Select Mark 4:23

24And he sayde vnto them: take hede what ye heare. With what measure ye mete with the same shall it be measured vnto you agayne. And vnto you that heare shall more be geve.Select Mark 4:24

25For vnto him yt hath shall it be geven: and from him that hath not shalbe taken awaye even that he hath.Select Mark 4:25

26And he sayde: so is the kyngdome of God even as yf a man shuld sowe seed in ye groudeSelect Mark 4:26

27and shulde slepe and ryse vp night and daye: and the seede shuld springe and growe vp he not ware.Select Mark 4:27

28For ye erth bringeth forthe frute of her silfe: fyrst the blade then the eares after that full corne in the eares.Select Mark 4:28

29And as sone as the frute is brought forth anone he throusteth in ye sykell because the hervest is come.Select Mark 4:29

30And he sayde: where vnto shall we lyke the kyngdome of God? or with what copareson shall we copare it?Select Mark 4:30

31It is lyke a grayne of mustard seed which when it is sowe in the erth is the leest of all seedes that be in the erth:Select Mark 4:31

32but after that it is sowen it groweth vp and is greatest of all yerbes: and bereth greate brauches so that ye fowles of the ayre maye dwell vnder the shadowe of it.Select Mark 4:32

33And with many soche similitudes he preached the worde vnto the after as they myght heare it.Select Mark 4:33

34And with out similitude spake he no thinge vnto them. But when they were aparte he expounded all thinges to his disciples.Select Mark 4:34

35And the same daye when even was come he sayde vnto them: let vs passe over vnto the other syde.Select Mark 4:35

36And they lefte the people and toke him even as he was in the shyp. And ther were also with him other shippes.Select Mark 4:36

37And ther arose a great storme of wynde and dasshed ye waves into the ship so that it was full.Select Mark 4:37

38And he was in the sterne a slepe on a pelowe. And they awoke him and sayde to him: Master carest thou not yt we perisshe?Select Mark 4:38

39And he rose vp and rebuked the wynde and sayde vnto the see: peace and be still. And the winde alayed and ther folowed a greate calme.Select Mark 4:39

40And he sayde vnto them: why are ye so fearfull? How is it that ye have no fayth?Select Mark 4:40

41And they feared excedingly and sayde one to another: what felowe is this? For booth winde and see obey him.Select Mark 4:41
