\subsection{Mark 4}
|
|
\subsubsection{Parable of the Sower}
|
|
\VS{1} And again he began to be teaching by the sea.
|
|
And [an] exceedingly great crowd was gathered to him,
|
|
so that having embarked he was sitting in [a] boat in the sea,
|
|
and the crowd was on the land facing the sea.
|
|
\VS{2} And he was teaching them many [things] in parables,
|
|
and he was saying to them in his teaching:
|
|
\VS{3} Be listening: Behold the [one] sowing came out to sow.
|
|
\VS{4} And it came to pass while sowing some fell beside the road,
|
|
and the birds came and devoured it.
|
|
\VS{5} And other [seed] fell upon the rocky [places],
|
|
where it was not having much soil\fnGe{},
|
|
and immediately it sprang up because it was not having depth of spol.
|
|
\VS{6} And when the sun rose it was burned up,
|
|
and because it was not having root it was withered.
|
|
\VS{7} And other [seed] fell into thorns,
|
|
and the thorns came up and choked it, and it gave no fruit.
|
|
\VS{8} And others fell into the good soil\fnGe{}
|
|
and coming up and growing it was giving fruit
|
|
and it was bearing to thirty[fold] and within sixty and within hundred[fold].
|
|
\VS{9} And he was saying: He who has ears to be hearing, let him be hearing\fnImperative{}.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Purpose of Parables}
|
|
\VS{10} And when he came to be alone,
|
|
those around him with the twelve were asking him with regard to the parables.
|
|
\VS{11} And he was saying to them:
|
|
To you the mystery of the Kingdom of God has been given,
|
|
to those outside all things come\footnote{or ``are given'' } in parables,
|
|
\VS{12} in order that\footnote{Isa.6:9-10}
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Looking they look and may not see \\
|
|
And hearing they hear and may not understand \\
|
|
Lest ever they turn around and he forgive them.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{13} And he says to them: You do not know this parable,
|
|
how also will you know all the parables?
|
|
\VS{14} The sower sows the word\fnLogos{}.
|
|
\VS{15} But these are those beside the road, where the word\fnLogos{} is sown, and when they hear,
|
|
immediately \Satan comes and takes the word\fnLogos{} having been sown in them.
|
|
\VS{16} And these being sown upon the rocky [places] are likewise,
|
|
which when they hear the word, immediately they receive it with joy.
|
|
\VS{17} And they have no root in themselves, but are temporary,
|
|
then [when] tribulation or persecution comes because of the word,
|
|
they stumble.
|
|
\VS{18} And these are those being sown into the thorns, these are those having heard the word,
|
|
\VS{19} and [when] the cares of the age and the deceitfulness of wealth
|
|
and the lusts for the rest enter, they choke the word, and it becomes fruitless.
|
|
\VS{20} And these are those having been sown upon the good soil\fnGe{},
|
|
which hear the word and receive [it] and bear fruit in thirty and in sixty and in a hundred.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Parable of the Lamp}
|
|
\VS{21} And he says to them that:
|
|
Does [a] lamp come in order that it be placed under the bushel or under the bed?
|
|
Is it not in order that it be placed upon the lampstand?
|
|
\VS{22} For is anything hidden if not in order that it be revealed?
|
|
\VS{23} If anyone has ears to be hearing, let him be hearing\fnImperative{}.
|
|
\VS{24} And he says to them: Be watching\fnImperative what you are hearing.
|
|
With what measure you measure it shall be measured to you, and shall be put to you.
|
|
\VS{25} For whoever has, it shall be given to him,
|
|
and whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Parable of the Growing Seed}
|
|
\VS{26} And he was saying:
|
|
The Kingdom of God is thus: as [a] person\fnAnthropos{} throws the seed upon the earth\fnGe{}
|
|
\VS{27} and he sleeps and gets up night and day, the seed sprouts and grows when he did not know it.
|
|
\VS{28} By itself the land bears fruit, first grass, then [an] ear, then full grain on the ear.
|
|
\VS{29} When the fruit permits, immediately he sends the sickle because the harvest has come.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Parable of the Mustard Seed}
|
|
\VS{30} And he was saying:
|
|
How shall I liken the Kingdom of God?
|
|
Or by means of what shall I set it forth in [a] parable?
|
|
\VS{31} As with [a] grain of mustard, which when sown upon the ground,
|
|
being smaller than all the seeds upon the ground,
|
|
\VS{32} and when sown, it comes up and becomes [the] greater of all the herbs,
|
|
and it produces great branches, so that the birds of heaven are able to be dwelling under its shadow.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Use of Parables}
|
|
\VS{33} And he was speaking to them the word with many such parables,
|
|
just as they were able to be hearing,
|
|
\VS{34} but without parables he was not speaking to them,
|
|
but privately he was explaining everything to his own disciples.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Stilling of a Storm}
|
|
\VS{35} And he says to them in that day, evening having come:
|
|
Go through to the other side.
|
|
\VS{36} And the crowd having departed they took him with them as he was in the boat,
|
|
and another boat was with him.
|
|
\VS{37} And there comes [a] great hurricane of wind,
|
|
and the waves were casting into the boat, so that already the boat was being filled.
|
|
\VS{38} And he himself was in the stern upon the cushion sleeping.
|
|
And they rouse him and say to him:
|
|
Teacher, is it of no concern to you that we are perishing?
|
|
\VS{39} And having been awakened he rebuked the wind and said to the sea:
|
|
Be still, be silent.
|
|
And the wind ceased, and there came [a] great calm.
|
|
\VS{40} And he said to them:
|
|
Are you such cowards in this manner?
|
|
How do you have no trust\fnPistis{}?
|
|
\VS{41} And they were afraid with [a] great fear,
|
|
and were saying to one another:
|
|
Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
|
