Read Bible Book Of Mark Chapter 4 In Online
1 - Again Jesus Began To Teach By The Lake. The Crowd That Gathered Around Him Was So Large That He Got Into A Boat And Sat In It Out On The Lake, While All The People Were Along The Shore At The Water's Edge.
5 - Some Fell On Rocky Places, Where It Did Not Have Much Soil. It Sprang Up Quickly, Because The Soil Was Shallow.
7 - Other Seed Fell Among Thorns, Which Grew Up And Choked The Plants, So That They Did Not Bear Grain.
8 - Still Other Seed Fell On Good Soil. It Came Up, Grew And Produced A Crop, Multiplying Thirty, Sixty, Or Even A Hundred Times."
11 - He Told Them, "The Secret Of The Kingdom Of God Has Been Given To You. But To Those On The Outside Everything Is Said In Parables
12 - So That, " 'They May Be Ever Seeing But Never Perceiving, And Ever Hearing But Never Understanding; Otherwise They Might Turn And Be Forgiven!' "
13 - Then Jesus Said To Them, "Don't You Understand This Parable? How Then Will You Understand Any Parable?
15 - Some People Are Like Seed Along The Path, Where The Word Is Sown. As Soon As They Hear It, Satan Comes And Takes Away The Word That Was Sown In Them.
17 - But Since They Have No Root, They Last Only A Short Time. When Trouble Or Persecution Comes Because Of The Word, They Quickly Fall Away.
19 - But The Worries Of This Life, The Deceitfulness Of Wealth And The Desires For Other Things Come In And Choke The Word, Making It Unfruitful.
20 - Others, Like Seed Sown On Good Soil, Hear The Word, Accept It, And Produce A Crop--thirty, Sixty Or Even A Hundred Times What Was Sown."
21 - He Said To Them, "Do You Bring In A Lamp To Put It Under A Bowl Or A Bed? Instead, Don't You Put It On Its Stand?
22 - For Whatever Is Hidden Is Meant To Be Disclosed, And Whatever Is Concealed Is Meant To Be Brought Out Into The Open.
24 - "Consider Carefully What You Hear," He Continued. "With The Measure You Use, It Will Be Measured To You--and Even More.
25 - Whoever Has Will Be Given More; Whoever Does Not Have, Even What He Has Will Be Taken From Him."
27 - Night And Day, Whether He Sleeps Or Gets Up, The Seed Sprouts And Grows, Though He Does Not Know How.
28 - All By Itself The Soil Produces Grain--first The Stalk, Then The Head, Then The Full Kernel In The Head.
30 - Again He Said, "What Shall We Say The Kingdom Of God Is Like, Or What Parable Shall We Use To Describe It?
32 - Yet When Planted, It Grows And Becomes The Largest Of All Garden Plants, With Such Big Branches That The Birds Of The Air Can Perch In Its Shade."
34 - He Did Not Say Anything To Them Without Using A Parable. But When He Was Alone With His Own Disciples, He Explained Everything.
36 - Leaving The Crowd Behind, They Took Him Along, Just As He Was, In The Boat. There Were Also Other Boats With Him.
38 - Jesus Was In The Stern, Sleeping On A Cushion. The Disciples Woke Him And Said To Him, "Teacher, Don't You Care If We Drown?"
39 - He Got Up, Rebuked The Wind And Said To The Waves, "Quiet! Be Still!" Then The Wind Died Down And It Was Completely Calm.
