Mark 4:21-40

²¹And he said to them, Whether a lantern cometh, that it be put under a bushel, or under a bed? nay, but that it be put on a candlestick?

²²There is nothing hid, that shall not be made open or shall not be showed; neither anything is privy, that shall not come into open.

²³If any man have ears of hearing, hear he.

²⁴And he said to them, See ye what ye hear. In what measure ye mete, it shall be meted to you again, and it shall be cast to you.

²⁵For it shall be given to him that hath, and it shall be taken away from him that hath not, also that that he hath.

²⁶And he said, So the kingdom of God is, as if a man cast seed into the earth,

²⁷and he sleep, and it rise up night and day, and bring forth seed, and wax fast, while he knoweth not.

²⁸For the earth by his own work-ing, or his own will, maketh fruit, first the grass, afterward the ear, and afterward full fruit in the ear.

²⁹And when of itself it hath brought forth fruit, anon he sendeth a sickle, for reaping time is come.

³⁰And he said, To what thing shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what parable shall we comparison it?

³¹As a corn of sinapi, which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all seeds that be in the earth;

³²and when it is sprung up, it waxeth into a tree, and is made greater than all herbs; and it maketh great branches, so that the birds of heaven may dwell under the shadow thereof.

³³And in many such parables he spake to them the word, as they might hear;

³⁴and he spake not to them without parable. But he expounded to his disciples all things by themselves.

³⁵And he said to them in that day, when evening was come, Pass we again-ward.

³⁶And they left the people, and took him, so that he was in a boat; and other boats were with him.

³⁷And a great storm or a tempest of wind was made, and cast waves into the boat, so that the boat was full.

³⁸And he was in the hinder part of the boat, and slept on a pillow. And they raised him, and said to him, Master, pertaineth it not to thee, that we perish?

³⁹And he rose up, and menaced the wind, and said to the sea, Be still, wax dumb. And the wind ceased, and great peaceableness was made.

⁴⁰And he said to them, What dread ye? Yet ye have no faith? or Not yet have ye faith?
