1Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.

2He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,

4As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.

8Others fell into the good ground and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some produced thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much.”

10When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.

11He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of God’s Kingdom, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,

14The farmer sows the word.

15The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

16These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.

17They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.

18Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,

19and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

20Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”

24He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you; and more will be given to you who hear.

33With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.

34Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

37A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.

38He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and asked him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are dying?”

39He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.

41They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
