Mark

For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

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.

If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

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 an hundred.

And 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.

And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

And 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.

And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

The sower soweth the word.

And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

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.

And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,

And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?

And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
