Mark 4:23-33

²³Yf eny man have eares to heare let him heare.

²⁴And he sayde vnto them: take hede what ye heare. With what measure ye mete with the same shall it be measured vnto you agayne. And vnto you that heare shall more be geve.

²⁵For vnto him that hath shall it be geven: and from him that hath not shalbe taken awaye even that he hath.

²⁶And he sayde: so is the kyngdome of God even as yf a man shuld sowe seed in the groude

²⁷and shulde slepe and ryse vp night and daye: and the seede shuld springe and growe vp he not ware.

²⁸For the erth bringeth forthe frute of her silfe: fyrst the blade then the eares after that full corne in the eares.

²⁹And as sone as the frute is brought forth anone he throusteth in the sykell because the hervest is come.

³⁰And he sayde: where vnto shall we lyke the kyngdome of God? or with what compareson shall we compare it?

³¹It is lyke a grayne of mustard seed which when it is sowe in the erth is the leest of all seedes that be in the erth:

³²but after that it is sowen it groweth vp and is greatest of all yerbes: and bereth greate brauches so that the fowles of the ayre maye dwell vnder the shadowe of it.

³³And with many soche similitudes he preached the worde vnto the after as they myght heare it.
