(this is a scan from the exact, authentic, original 1611 'HE' King James Bible)

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.

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:

4 And it came to passe as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the foules of the aire came, & deuoured it vp.

5 And some fell on stonie ground, where it had not much earth: and immediately it sprang vp, because it had no depth of earth.

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.

8 And other fell on good ground, and did yeeld fruite that sprang vp, and increased, and brought foorth some thirtie, & some sixtie, & some an hundred.

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.

11 And he said vnto them, Unto you it is giuen to know the mystery of the kingdome of God: but vnto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

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.

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.

15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sowen, but when they haue heard, Satan commeth immediately, and taketh away the word that was sowen in their hearts.

16 And these are they likewise which are sowen on stonie ground, who when they haue heard the word, immediately receiue it with gladnesse:

17 And haue no roote in themselues, and so endure but for a time: afterward when affliction or persecution ariseth for the words sake, immediately they are offended.

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.

20 And these are they which are sowen on good ground, such as heare the word, and receiue it, & bring foorth fruit, some thirty fold, some sixtie, and some an hundred.

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?

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

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.

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.

26 ¶ And he said, So is the kingdome of God, as if a man should cast seede into the ground,

27 And should sleepe, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring, and grow vp, he knoweth not how.

28 For the earth bringeth foorth fruite of herselfe, first the blade, then the eare, after that the full corne in the eare.

29 But when the fruite is brought foorth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the haruest is come.

30 ¶ And he said, Wherunto shal we liken the kingdome of God? Or with what comparison shall we compare it?

31 It is like a graine of mustard seed: which when it is sowen in the earth, is lesse then all the seedes that be in the earth.

32 But when it is sowen, it groweth vp, and becommeth greater then all herbes, & shooteth out great branches, so that the fowles of the aire may lodge vnder the shadow of it.

33 And with many such parables spake hee the word vnto them, as they were able to heare it.

34 But without a parable spake he not vnto them, and when they were alone, hee expounded all things to his disciples.

35 And the same day, when the Euen was come, he saith vnto them, Let vs passe ouer vnto the other side.

36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they tooke him, euen as he was in the ship, and there were also with him other litle ships.

37 And there arose a great storme of wind, and the waues beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship asleepe on a pillow: and they awake him, and say vnto him, Master, carest thou not, that we perish?

39 And hee arose, and rebuked the winde, and said vnto the sea, Peace, be still: and the winde ceased, and there was a great calme.

40 And he said vnto them, Why are ye so fearefull? How is it that you haue no faith?

41 And they feared exceedingly, and saide one to another, What maner of man is this, that euen the winde and the sea obey him?

Juane's Mark Chapter 4 comment on 3/11/2013, 9:29am...

This chapter was put in my spirit to remind the people that God did teach in parables because man cannot comprehend at a Godly level. I a m so glad he told the seed sowing story but backed with understanding and explaining to man how it is pertaining to man. Chapter 4:11-21 is self explainable. You must be born again to receive the word of God. Like the brother said, you become a new creature in Christ, if you receive Him in your heart. Without Him, the word means nothing at all. It is like another language. You are not an heir of the kingdom; therefore you will not understand the word. The best way to get the word as God gave it, is to pray for an understanding and open your heart to receive it. John 3:16 says it all! The "WORD" feeds your spirit and inner man.

 


Lawrence K's Mark Chapter 4 comment about verse 25 on 1/28/2013, 11:17pm...

"Them that got, shall get, them that have not shall lose, the Bible says so, and it is still news. Mama may have, Papa may have, God bless the Child that's got his own." "Some got, and some have not got" It's a cold world, still God is the provision for all who seek Him.

 


John's Mark Chapter 4 comment on 1/21/2013, 10:03pm...

I thought 2 was extremely powerful. My business partner has a friend active in his church, His friend is a doctor, so not a stupid guy. Anyway, he was asking the hard questions (which I guess you should only discuss with your pastor). So, I told my business partner, that I believed that God has revealed the truth to us (mostly) in the form of parables. I know this is a nagging concern to the doctor, hopefully this will put his mind to rest. Anyway, guys this is a great resource.

 


Jay's Mark Chapter 4 comment on 12/13/2012, 11:54am...

@ St Daniels,
This individual is correct in that we must be born again to receive the truth of understanding and wisdom of God's holy word (John 3:3-5; 4:24).
1. The bible is written for believers after they have been regenerated;
2. But one does not stay saved by their works of goodness (righteousness);
3. We are saved by the faith of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 12:2), all we do is ask for it (Romans 10:10-13). It is his (Jesus) faith that saves us and keeps us saved (Hebrews 12:2);
4. Anyone that believes you can lose your salvation after being born again, does not comprehend the meaning of being born again (Colossians 2:9-13);
5. Jesus is eternal and when you receive him as lord and savior, your become eternal (new nature II Corinthians 5:17). Your flesh is still able to sin, but the new seed you have received does not sin (I John 3:9). Flesh and blood will not inherit the kingdom of God (John 6:63; I Corinthians 15:50). A new baby is born with a live body, live soul, and a dead spirit. When a person is born again they now have a living soul, a living spirit, and a dead body. There is a trade off at the moment of salvation (Ephesians 2:1-10).

 


St daniel's Mark Chapter 4 comment on 8/03/2012, 11:49pm...

being bornagain aint enough one has to remain saved to recieve the truth and understand it. as humans we do stray becuase of economic hardships so many in the kingdom lack the staying power with gospel but it still remains mans no1 safest investment with peace. everyword from god has the power to happen if applied as instructed my submission is whatever we want in this life if give in that direction it must produce its kind as quoted in verse 28 why suffer long apply now for instant result this is a sure word of prophecy be blessed

 


Ken's Mark Chapter 4 comment on 1/26/2011, 12:37pm...

Mark 4:41 One of the great Bible truths is that God is in control of nature. Those who believe in global warming caused by man do not believe in a God who is Almighty.

 


Tina's Mark Chapter 4 comment on 12/14/2010, 1:49pm...

I'm not sure I understand completely myself, but I know that in God's great plan, the Jews were to reject the Gospel and their Savior so that we Gentiles might be grafted in that we may all be God's people--one in Christ.

 


Rara's Mark Chapter 4 comment on 5/24/2010, 2:27pm...

We should alsocaution this walk with Christ is difficult. I think the church does a diservice to the saints of Christ as we grow to counsel and help with understanding fear and faith. It can be a lonely place even though you are not slone. Thank GoD for this site.
