Mc 4 (King James)

¹ And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
² And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
³ Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
⁴ And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
⁵ And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
⁶ But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
⁷ And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
⁸ And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
⁹ And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
¹⁰ And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
¹¹ And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
¹² That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
¹³ And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
¹⁴ The sower soweth the word.
¹⁵ And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
¹⁶ And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
¹⁷ And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
¹⁸ And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
¹⁹ And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
²⁰ And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
²¹ And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
²² For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
²³ If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
²⁴ And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
²⁵ For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
²⁶ And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
²⁷ And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
²⁸ For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
²⁹ But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
³⁰ And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
³¹ It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
³² But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
³³ And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.
³⁴ But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
³⁵ And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
³⁶ And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
³⁷ And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
³⁸ And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
³⁹ And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
⁴⁰ And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
⁴¹ And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

Mc 4 (Stephanus 1550)

¹ καὶ πάλιν ἤρξατο διδάσκειν παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ συνήχθη πρὸς αὐτὸν ὄχλος πολύς, ὥστε αὐτὸν ἐμβάντα εἰς τὸ πλοῖον καθῆσθαι ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος πρὸς τὴν θάλασσαν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἦν
² καὶ ἐδίδασκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν παραβολαῖς πολλά καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ
³ ἀκούετε ἰδού, ἐξῆλθεν ὁ σπείρων τοῦ σπεῖραι
⁴ καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ σπείρειν ὃ μὲν ἔπεσεν παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν καὶ ἦλθεν τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτό
⁵ ἄλλο δὲ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸ πετρῶδες ὅπου οὐκ εἶχεν γῆν πολλήν καὶ εὐθὲως ἐξανέτειλεν διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν βάθος γῆς
⁶ ἡλίου δὲ ἀνατείλαντος ἐκαυματίσθη καὶ διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν ῥίζαν ἐξηράνθη
⁷ καὶ ἄλλο ἔπεσεν εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας καὶ ἀνέβησαν αἱ ἄκανθαι καὶ συνέπνιξαν αὐτό καὶ καρπὸν οὐκ ἔδωκεν
⁸ καὶ ἄλλο ἔπεσεν εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν καλήν καὶ ἐδίδου καρπὸν ἀναβαίνοντα καὶ αὐξανόντα, καὶ ἔφερεν ἓν τριάκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑξήκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑκατόν
⁹ καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω
¹⁰ ὅτε δὲ ἐγένετο καταμόνας, ἠρώτησαν αὐτὸν οἱ περὶ αὐτὸν σὺν τοῖς δώδεκα τὴν παραβολήν
¹¹ καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ὑμῖν δέδοται γνῶναι τὸ μυστήριον τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ ἐκείνοις δὲ τοῖς ἔξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τὰ πάντα γίνεται
¹² ἵνα βλέποντες βλέπωσιν καὶ μὴ ἴδωσιν καὶ ἀκούοντες ἀκούωσιν καὶ μὴ συνιῶσιν μήποτε ἐπιστρέψωσιν καὶ ἀφεθῇ αὐτοῖς τὰ ἁμαρτήματα
¹³ καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς οὐκ οἴδατε τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην καὶ πῶς πάσας τὰς παραβολὰς γνώσεσθε
¹⁴ ὁ σπείρων τὸν λόγον σπείρει
¹⁵ οὗτοι δέ εἰσιν οἱ παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ὅπου σπείρεται ὁ λόγος καὶ ὅταν ἀκούσωσιν εὐθὲως ἔρχεται ὁ σατανᾶς καὶ αἴρει τὸν λόγον τὸν ἐσπαρμένον ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν
¹⁶ καὶ οὗτοί εἰσιν ὁμοίως οἱ ἐπὶ τὰ πετρώδη σπειρόμενοι οἳ ὅταν ἀκούσωσιν τὸν λόγον εὐθὲως μετὰ χαρᾶς λαμβάνουσιν αὐτόν
¹⁷ καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσιν ῥίζαν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἀλλὰ πρόσκαιροί εἰσιν εἶτα γενομένης θλίψεως ἢ διωγμοῦ διὰ τὸν λόγον εὐθὲως σκανδαλίζονται
¹⁸ καὶ οὗτοί εἰσὶν οἱ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας σπειρόμενοι οὑτοί εἰσιν οἱ τὸν λόγον ἀκούοντες
¹⁹ καὶ αἱ μέριμναι τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου, καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου καὶ αἱ περὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἐπιθυμίαι εἰσπορευόμεναι συμπνίγουσιν τὸν λόγον καὶ ἄκαρπος γίνεται
²⁰ καὶ οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τὴν καλὴν σπαρέντες οἵτινες ἀκούουσιν τὸν λόγον καὶ παραδέχονται καὶ καρποφοροῦσιν ἓν τριάκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑξήκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑκατόν
²¹ καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς μήτι ὁ λύχνος ἔρχεται ἵνα ὑπὸ τὸν μόδιον τεθῇ ἢ ὑπὸ τὴν κλίνην οὐχ ἵνα ἐπὶ τὴν λυχνίαν ἐπιτεθῇ
²² οὐ γάρ ἐστιν τί κρυπτὸν ὁ ἐὰν μὴ φανερωθῇ οὐδὲ ἐγένετο ἀπόκρυφον ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα εἰς φανερόν ἔλθῃ
²³ εἴ τις ἔχει ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω
²⁴ καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς βλέπετε τί ἀκούετε ἐν ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε μετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν καὶ προστεθήσεται ὑμῖν τοῖς ἀκούουσιν
²⁵ ὃς γὰρ ἂν ἔχῃ, δοθήσεται αὐτῷ καὶ ὃς οὐκ ἔχει καὶ ὃ ἔχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ
²⁶ καὶ ἔλεγεν οὕτως ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ὡς ἐάν ἄνθρωπος βάλῃ τὸν σπόρον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
²⁷ καὶ καθεύδῃ καὶ ἐγείρηται νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν καὶ ὁ σπόρος βλαστάνῃ καὶ μηκύνηται ὡς οὐκ οἶδεν αὐτός
²⁸ αὐτομάτη γὰρ ἡ γῆ καρποφορεῖ πρῶτον χόρτον εἶτα στάχυν εἶτα πλήρη σῖτον ἐν τῷ στάχυϊ
²⁹ ὅταν δὲ παραδῷ ὁ καρπός εὐθέως ἀποστέλλει τὸ δρέπανον ὅτι παρέστηκεν ὁ θερισμός
³⁰ καὶ ἔλεγεν τίνι ὁμοιώσωμεν τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ ἢ ἐν ποὶα παραβολῇ παραβάλωμεν αὐτὴν
³¹ ὡς κόκκῳ σινάπεως ὃς ὅταν σπαρῇ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς μικρότερος πάντων τῶν σπερμάτων ἐστὶν τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
³² καὶ ὅταν σπαρῇ ἀναβαίνει καὶ γίνεται πάντων τῶν λαχάνων μείζων καὶ ποιεῖ κλάδους μεγάλους ὥστε δύνασθαι ὑπὸ τὴν σκιὰν αὐτοῦ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατασκηνοῦν
³³ καὶ τοιαύταις παραβολαῖς πολλαῖς ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς τὸν λόγον καθὼς ἠδύναντο ἀκούειν
³⁴ χωρὶς δὲ παραβολῆς οὐκ ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς κατ᾽ ἰδίαν δὲ τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ ἐπέλυεν πάντα
³⁵ καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὀψίας γενομένης διέλθωμεν εἰς τὸ πέραν
³⁶ καὶ ἀφέντες τὸν ὄχλον παραλαμβάνουσιν αὐτὸν ὡς ἦν ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ καὶ ἄλλα δὲ πλοιάρια ἦν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ
³⁷ καὶ γίνεται λαῖλαψ ἀνέμου μεγάλη τὰ δὲ κύματα ἐπέβαλλεν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον ὥστε αὐτό ἤδη γεμίζεσθαι
³⁸ καὶ ἦν αὐτὸς ἐπὶ τῇ πρύμνῃ ἐπὶ τὸ προσκεφάλαιον καθεύδων καὶ διεγείρουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ διδάσκαλε οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἀπολλύμεθα
³⁹ καὶ διεγερθεὶς ἐπετίμησεν τῷ ἀνέμῳ καὶ εἶπεν τῇ θαλάσσῃ σιώπα πεφίμωσο καὶ ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη μεγάλη
⁴⁰ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς τί δειλοί ἐστε οὕτως πῶς οὐκ ἔχετε πίστιν
⁴¹ καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν φόβον μέγαν καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς ἀλλήλους τίς ἄρα οὗτός ἐστιν ὅτι καὶ ὁ ἄνεμος καὶ ἡ θάλασσα ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ

Mc 4 (Vulgate)

¹ Et iterum cœpit docere ad mare : et congregata est ad eum turba multa, ita ut navim ascendens sederet in mari, et omnis turba circa mare super terram erat :
² et docebat eos in parabolis multa, et dicebat illis in doctrina sua :
³ Audite : ecce exiit seminans ad seminandum.
⁴ Et dum seminat, aliud cecidit circa viam, et venerunt volucres cæli, et comederunt illud.
⁵ Aliud vero cecidit super petrosa, ubi non habuit terram multam : et statim exortum est, quoniam non habebat altitudinem terræ :
⁶ et quando exortus est sol, exæstuavit : et eo quod non habebat radicem, exaruit.
⁷ Et aliud cecidit in spinas : et ascenderunt spinæ, et suffocaverunt illud, et fructum non dedit.
⁸ Et aliud cecidit in terram bonam : et dabat fructum ascendentem et crescentem, et afferebat unum triginta, unum sexaginta, et unum centum.
⁹ Et dicebat : Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
¹⁰ Et cum esset singularis, interrogaverunt eum hi qui cum eo erant duodecim, parabolam.
¹¹ Et dicebat eis : Vobis datum est nosse mysterium regni Dei : illis autem, qui foris sunt, in parabolis omnia fiunt :
¹² ut videntes videant, et non videant : et audientes audiant, et non intelligant : nequando convertantur, et dimittantur eis peccata.
¹³ Et ait illis : Nescitis parabolam hanc ? Et quomodo omnes parabolas cognoscetis ?
¹⁴ Qui seminat, verbum seminat.
¹⁵ Hi autem sunt, qui circa viam, ubi seminatur verbum, et cum audierint, confestim venit Satanas, et aufert verbum, quod seminatum est in cordibus eorum.
¹⁶ Et hi sunt similiter, qui super petrosa seminantur : qui cum audierint verbum, statim cum gaudio accipiunt illud :
¹⁷ et non habent radicem in se, sed temporales sunt : deinde orta tribulatione et persecutione propter verbum, confestim scandalizantur.
¹⁸ Et alii sunt qui in spinas seminantur : hi sunt qui verbum audiunt,
¹⁹ et ærumnæ sæculi, et deceptio divitiarum, et circa reliqua concupiscentiæ introëuntes suffocant verbum, et sine fructu efficitur.
²⁰ Et hi sunt qui super terram bonam seminati sunt, qui audiunt verbum, et suscipiunt, et fructificant, unum triginta, unum sexaginta, et unum centum.
²¹ Et dicebat illis : Numquid venit lucerna ut sub modio ponatur, aut sub lecto ? nonne ut super candelabrum ponatur ?
²² Non est enim aliquid absconditum, quod non manifestetur : nec factum est occultum, sed ut in palam veniat.
²³ Si quis habet aures audiendi, audiat.
²⁴ Et dicebat illis : Videte quid audiatis. In qua mensura mensi fueritis, remetietur vobis, et adjicietur vobis.
²⁵ Qui enim habet, dabitur illi : et qui non habet, etiam quod habet auferetur ab eo.
²⁶ Et dicebat : Sic est regnum Dei, quemadmodum si homo jaciat sementem in terram,
²⁷ et dormiat, et exsurgat nocte et die, et semen germinet, et increscat dum nescit ille.
²⁸ Ultro enim terra fructificat, primum herbam, deinde spicam, deinde plenum frumentum in spica.
²⁹ Et cum produxerit fructus, statim mittit falcem, quoniam adest messis.
³⁰ Et dicebat : Cui assimilabimus regnum Dei ? aut cui parabolæ comparabimus illud ?
³¹ Sicut granum sinapis, quod cum seminatum fuerit in terra, minus est omnibus seminibus, quæ sunt in terra :
³² et cum seminatum fuerit, ascendit, et fit majus omnibus oleribus, et facit ramos magnos, ita ut possint sub umbra ejus aves cæli habitare.
³³ Et talibus multis parabolis loquebatur eis verbum, prout poterant audire :
³⁴ sine parabola autem non loquebatur eis : seorsum autem discipulis suis disserebat omnia.
³⁵ Et ait illis in illa die, cum sero esset factum : Transeamus contra.
³⁶ Et dimittentes turbam, assumunt eum ita ut erat in navi : et aliæ naves erant cum illo.
³⁷ Et facta est procella magna venti, et fluctus mittebat in navim, ita ut impleretur navis.
³⁸ Et erat ipse in puppi super cervical dormiens : et excitant eum, et dicunt illi : Magister, non ad te pertinet, quia perimus ?
³⁹ Et exsurgens comminatus est vento, et dixit mari : Tace, obmutesce. Et cessavit ventus : et facta est tranquillitas magna.
⁴⁰ Et ait illis : Quid timidi estis ? necdum habetis fidem ? et timuerunt timore magno, et dicebant ad alterutrum : Quis, putas, est iste, quia et ventus et mare obediunt ei ?
