Mark 4:8-26

⁸And some fell vpon good grounde and dyd yelde frute that sproge and grewe and brought forthe: some thirty folde some sixtie folde and some an hundred folde.

⁹And he sayde vnto them: he that hath eares to heare let him heare.

¹⁰And when he was alone they that were aboute him with the .xii. axed him of the similitude.

¹¹And he sayde vnto them. To you it is geve to knowe the mistery of the kyngdome of God. But vnto them that are with out shall all thinges be done in similitudes:

¹²That when they se they shall se and not discerne: and when they heare they shall heare and not vnderstonde: leste at any tyme they shulde tourne and their synnes shuld be forgeve them.

¹³And he sayde vnto the: Perceave ye not this similitude? how then shulde ye vnderstonde all other similitudes?

¹⁴The sower soweth the worde.

¹⁵And they that are by the wayes syde where the worde is sowen are they to whom assone as they have herde it Satha cometh immediatly and takith awaye the worde that was sowe in their hertes.

¹⁶And likewise they that are sowen on the stonye groude are they: which when they have harde the worde at once receave it with gladnes

¹⁷yet have no rotes in them selves and so endure but a tyme: and anone as trouble and persecucion aryseth for the wordes sake they fall immediatly.

¹⁸And they that are sowe amonge the thornes are soche as heare the worde:

¹⁹and the care of this worlde and the disseytfulnes of ryches and the lustes of other thinges entre in and choocke the worde and it is made vnfrutfull.

²⁰And those that weare sowe in good grounde are they that heare the worde and receave it and bringe forth frute some thirty folde some sixty folde some an hundred folde.

²¹And he sayde vnto them: is the candle lighted to be put vnder a busshell or vnder the table and not rather to be put on a candelstick?

²²For there is nothinge so prevy that shall not be opened: nether so secreet but that it shall come abroade.

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
