Mark 4:24-39

²⁴And he seide to hem, Se ye what ye heren. In what mesure ye meten, it schal be metun to you ayen, and be cast to you.

²⁵For it schal be youun to hym that hath, and it schal be takun awei fro him that hath not, also that that he hath.

²⁶And he seide, So the kingdom of God is, as if a man caste seede in to the erthe,

²⁷and he sleepe, and it rise up niyt and dai, and brynge forth seede, and wexe faste, while he woot not.

²⁸For the erthe makith fruyt, first the gras, aftirward the ere, and aftir ful fruyt in the ere.

²⁹And whanne of it silf it hath brouyt forth fruyt, anoon he sendith a sikil, for repyng tyme is come.

³⁰And he seide, To what thing schulen we likne the kyngdom of God? or to what parable schulen we comparisoun it?

³¹As a corne of seneuei, which whanne it is sowun in the erthe, is lesse than alle seedis that ben in the erthe;

³²and whanne it is sprongun up, it waxith in to a tre, and is maad gretter than alle erbis; and it makith grete braunchis, so that briddis of heuene moun dwelle vndur the schadewe therof.

³³And in many suche parablis he spak to hem the word, as thei myyten here;

³⁴and he spak not to hem with out parable. But he expownede to hise disciplis alle thingis bi hemsilf.

³⁵And he seide to hem in that dai, whanne euenyng was come, Passe we ayenward.

³⁶And thei leften the puple, and token hym, so that he was in a boot; and othere bootys weren with hym.

³⁷And a greet storm of wynde was maad, and keste wawis in to the boot, so that the boot was ful.

³⁸And he was in the hyndir part of the boot, and slepte on a pilewe. And thei reisen hym, and seien to hym, Maistir, perteyneth it not to thee, that we perischen?

³⁹And he roos vp, and manasside the wynde, and seide to the see, Be stille, wexe doumbe. And the wynde ceesside, and greet pesiblenesse was maad.
