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 that shall not be showed; neither anything is privy, that shall not come into (the) open. (There is nothing hidden, that shall not be made open or revealed; nor is anything private, or kept secret, that shall not be brought out into the 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 (or By which measure ye measure, it shall be measured unto you again, yea, it shall be thrown unto 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. Forsooth it shall be given to him that hath, and if a man hath not, yea this that he hath shall be taken away from him.

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 (or grow fast), while he knoweth not.

²⁸For the earth by his own working, or by his own will, (or by its own working, or by its 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 (or at once) 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, (or Like a kernel, or a grain, of mustard seed), which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all (the) seeds that be in the earth;

³²and when it is sprung up, it waxeth into a tree (or it groweth into a tree), and is made greater than all (the) herbs; and it maketh great branches, so that the birds of (the) heaven(s) may dwell under the shadow thereof (or so that the birds of the air can live under its shadow).

³³And in many such parables he spake to them the word, as they might hear (or as much as they could understand);

³⁴and he spake not to them without parable(s). 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. (And he said to them on that day, when the evening had come, Let us go over to the other side of Lake Galilee.)

³⁶And they left the people (or And they let the people go), 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-filled, (or so that the boat was filled full of water).

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

³⁹And he rose up, and menaced the wind (or and threatened 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? (or Why fear ye?) Yet ye have no faith?/Ye have not faith yet? or Not yet have ye faith?
