CHAP. IV.
1 The parable of the sower, 14 and the meaning thereof. 21 We must communicate the light of our knowledge to others. 26 The parable of the seede growing secretly, 30 and of the Mustard seede. 35 Christ stilleth the tempest on the Sea.
1 And he beganne againe to teach by the Sea side: and there was gathered vnto him a great multitude, so that he entred into a ship, and sate in the Sea: and the whole multitude was by the Sea on the land.1
2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said vnto them in his doctrine,
3 Hearken, Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
6 But when the Sunne was vp, it was scorched, and because it had no roote, it withered away.
7 And some fell among thornes, and the thornes grew vp, and choked it, and it yeelded no fruite.
9 And he said vnto them, He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
10 And when hee was alone, they that were about him, with the twelue, asked of him the parable.
12 That seeing they may see, and not perceiue, and hearing they may heare, and not vnderstand, lest at any time they should be conuerted, and their sinnes should be forgiuen them.12
13 And he said vnto them, Know ye not this parable? And how then will you know all parables?
14 ¶ The Sower soweth the word.
18 And these are they which are sowen among thorns: such as heare the word,
19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulnesse of riches, and the lusts of other things entring in, choke the word, and it becommeth vnfruitfull.19
21 ¶ And he said vnto them, Is a candle brought to be put vnder a bushell, or vnder a bed? & not to be set on a candlesticke?21
22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested: neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.22
23 If any man haue eares to heare, let him heare.
24 And he said vnto them, Take heed what you heare: With what measure ye mete, it shalbe measured to you: And vnto you that heare, shal more be giuen.24
25 For he that hath, to him shall be giuen: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken, euen that which he hath.25
26 ¶ And he said, So is the kingdome of God, as if a man should cast seede into the ground,
29 But when the fruite is brought foorth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the haruest is come.29
30 ¶ And he said, Wherunto shal we liken the kingdome of God? Or with what comparison shall we compare it?30
33 And with many such parables spake hee the word vnto them, as they were able to heare it.33
35 And the same day, when the Euen was come, he saith vnto them, Let vs passe ouer vnto the other side.35
37 And there arose a great storme of wind, and the waues beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
40 And he said vnto them, Why are ye so fearefull? How is it that you haue no faith?
