WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:04.820 Chapter Four And he began again to teach by the seaside. 00:05.560 --> 00:09.900 And there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship 00:09.900 --> 00:11.200 and sat in the sea. 00:11.720 --> 00:14.420 And the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. 00:15.100 --> 00:19.320 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his 00:19.320 --> 00:26.240 doctrine, Archon, behold, there went out a sower to sow, and it came to pass as he 00:26.240 --> 00:31.780 sowed, Some fell by the wayside, and the fowls of the air came and devoured 00:31.780 --> 00:32.180 it up. 00:33.040 --> 00:37.480 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth, and 00:37.480 --> 00:40.260 immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth. 00:40.720 --> 00:45.080 But when the sun was up, it was scorched, and because it had no root, it withered 00:45.080 --> 00:45.440 away. 00:46.380 --> 00:51.400 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no 00:51.400 --> 00:51.740 fruit. 00:52.720 --> 00:57.120 And other fell on good ground, and it yielded fruit that sprang up and 00:57.120 --> 01:02.080 increased, and brought forth some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. 01:02.580 --> 01:07.120 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 01:07.580 --> 01:11.540 And when he was alone, they that were about him, with the twelve, asked of him 01:11.540 --> 01:12.060 the parable. 01:12.500 --> 01:16.380 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom 01:16.380 --> 01:19.360 of God, but unto them that are without. 01:20.060 --> 01:26.700 All these things are done in parables, that seeing they may see and not perceive, 01:27.560 --> 01:31.600 and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest at any time they should 01:31.600 --> 01:34.120 be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. 01:34.360 --> 01:37.140 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? 01:37.960 --> 01:40.320 And how then will ye know all parables? 01:41.420 --> 01:47.540 The sower soweth the word, and these are they by the wayside where the word is 01:47.540 --> 01:47.880 sown. 01:48.740 --> 01:53.360 But when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that 01:53.360 --> 01:54.480 was sown in their hearts. 01:55.780 --> 02:00.620 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground, who, when they have heard 02:00.620 --> 02:04.860 the word, immediately receive it with gladness, and have no root in themselves, 02:05.000 --> 02:06.580 and so endure but for a time. 02:07.640 --> 02:11.840 Afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately 02:11.840 --> 02:12.780 they are offended. 02:13.620 --> 02:17.820 And these are they which are sown among thorns, such as hear the word, 02:17.920 --> 02:21.580 and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of 02:21.580 --> 02:26.060 other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 02:27.300 --> 02:31.220 And these are they which are sown on good ground, such as hear the word, 02:31.360 --> 02:37.240 and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an 02:37.240 --> 02:37.560 hundred. 02:38.020 --> 02:43.100 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed, 02:43.620 --> 02:45.520 and not to be set on a candlestick? 02:46.220 --> 02:51.560 For there is nothing hid which shall not be manifested, neither was anything kept 02:51.560 --> 02:53.260 secret but that it should come abroad. 02:54.360 --> 02:58.300 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 02:58.660 --> 03:03.960 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear, with what measure ye meet it shall 03:03.960 --> 03:08.900 be measured to you, and unto you that hear shall more be given. 03:09.780 --> 03:15.380 For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he that hath not, from him shall be 03:15.380 --> 03:16.900 taken even that which he hath. 03:17.300 --> 03:22.440 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the 03:22.440 --> 03:27.220 ground, and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and 03:27.220 --> 03:29.000 grow up, he knoweth not how. 03:29.520 --> 03:33.700 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself, first the blade, then the ear, 03:34.140 --> 03:35.920 after that the full corn in the ear. 03:37.000 --> 03:40.440 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, 03:40.440 --> 03:41.860 because the harvest is come. 03:42.380 --> 03:45.660 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? 03:46.460 --> 03:48.680 Or with what comparison shall we compare it? 03:49.540 --> 03:53.960 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, 03:54.580 --> 03:57.060 is less than all the seeds that be in the earth. 03:57.360 --> 04:02.100 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, 04:02.360 --> 04:07.020 and shooteth out great branches, so that the fowls of the air may lodge 04:07.020 --> 04:08.200 under the shadow of it. 04:08.200 --> 04:13.040 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear 04:13.040 --> 04:13.280 it. 04:13.820 --> 04:16.480 But without a parable spake he not unto them. 04:17.000 --> 04:20.560 And when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. 04:21.280 --> 04:26.280 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto 04:26.280 --> 04:27.040 the other side. 04:27.480 --> 04:31.900 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him, even as he was in the ship. 04:32.400 --> 04:34.300 And there were also with him other little ships. 04:34.880 --> 04:40.060 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, 04:40.440 --> 04:41.600 so that it was now full. 04:42.380 --> 04:45.640 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow. 04:46.100 --> 04:50.820 And they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 04:51.000 --> 04:57.380 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. 04:58.080 --> 05:01.420 And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 05:02.260 --> 05:05.200 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? 05:05.200 --> 05:07.940 How is it that ye have no faith? 05:08.300 --> 05:13.840 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, 05:14.320 --> 05:16.780 that even the wind and the sea obey him?
