Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
撒種的比喻
4 耶穌又到湖邊講道,周圍聚集了許多人,耶穌只好上到湖邊的船上坐下,眾人都站在岸上。 2 耶穌用比喻教導他們許多事,在教導中祂說: 3 「聽著!有一個農夫出去撒種。 4 撒種的時候,有些種子落在路旁,被飛鳥吃掉了; 5 有些落在石頭地上,因為泥土不深,種子很快就發芽了, 6 然而因為沒有根,被太陽一曬就枯萎了; 7 有些落在荊棘叢中,荊棘長起來便把嫩苗擠住了,以致不能結實; 8 有些落在沃土裡,就發芽生長,結出果實,收成多達三十倍、六十倍、一百倍!」 9 然後祂說:「有耳可聽的,都應當聽。」
10 當耶穌獨自一人的時候,十二使徒和追隨祂的人來請教比喻的意思。 11 耶穌說:「上帝國的奧祕只讓你們知道,對於外人,我只用比喻, 12 使他們『看了又看,卻不領悟;聽了又聽,卻不明白,免得他們回心轉意,得到赦免。』」
13 耶穌又對他們說:「你們不明白這個比喻,又怎能明白其他比喻呢? 14 農夫撒的是上帝的道。 15 種子落在路旁,是指人聽了道,撒旦立刻過來奪去了撒在他們心裡的道。 16 種子落在石頭地上,是指人聽了道後,立刻歡喜地接受了, 17 但他們心裡沒有根基,不過是暫時接受,一旦為道遭受患難和迫害,就立刻放棄了。 18 種子落在荊棘叢中,是指人雖然聽過道, 19 但生活的憂慮、錢財的迷惑和其他慾望把道擠住了,以致不能結出果實。 20 種子落在沃土裡,是指人聽了道,領受了,又結出果實,收成多達三十倍、六十倍、甚至一百倍。」
燈的比喻
21 耶穌繼續說:「人會把燈拿來放在籃子底下或床底下嗎?當然不會,他一定會把它放在燈臺上。 22 隱藏的事是不能掩蓋的,終會顯露出來。 23 有耳可聽的,就應當聽。」 24 耶穌又說:「要好好思想你們所聽到的,你們用什麼量器量給人,就用什麼量器量給你們,甚至要多給你們。 25 因為凡有的,還要給他更多;凡沒有的,連他僅有的也要奪去!」

撒种的比喻
4 耶稣又到湖边讲道,周围聚集了许多人,耶稣只好上到湖边的船上坐下,众人都站在岸上。 2 耶稣用比喻教导他们许多事,在教导中祂说: 3 “听着!有一个农夫出去撒种。 4 撒种的时候,有些种子落在路旁,被飞鸟吃掉了; 5 有些落在石头地上,因为泥土不深,种子很快就发芽了, 6 然而因为没有根,被太阳一晒就枯萎了; 7 有些落在荆棘丛中,荆棘长起来便把嫩苗挤住了,以致不能结实; 8 有些落在沃土里,就发芽生长,结出果实,收成多达三十倍、六十倍、一百倍!” 9 然后祂说:“有耳可听的,都应当听。”
10 当耶稣独自一人的时候,十二使徒和追随祂的人来请教比喻的意思。 11 耶稣说:“上帝国的奥秘只让你们知道,对于外人,我只用比喻, 12 使他们‘看了又看,却不领悟;听了又听,却不明白,免得他们回心转意,得到赦免。’”
13 耶稣又对他们说:“你们不明白这个比喻,又怎能明白其他比喻呢? 14 农夫撒的是上帝的道。 15 种子落在路旁,是指人听了道,撒旦立刻过来夺去了撒在他们心里的道。 16 种子落在石头地上,是指人听了道后,立刻欢喜地接受了, 17 但他们心里没有根基,不过是暂时接受,一旦为道遭受患难和迫害,就立刻放弃了。 18 种子落在荆棘丛中,是指人虽然听过道, 19 但生活的忧虑、钱财的迷惑和其他欲望把道挤住了,以致不能结出果实。 20 种子落在沃土里,是指人听了道,领受了,又结出果实,收成多达三十倍、六十倍、甚至一百倍。”
灯的比喻
21 耶稣继续说:“人会把灯拿来放在篮子底下或床底下吗?当然不会,他一定会把它放在灯台上。 22 隐藏的事是不能掩盖的,终会显露出来。 23 有耳可听的,就应当听。” 24 耶稣又说:“要好好思想你们所听到的,你们用什么量器量给人,就用什么量器量给你们,甚至要多给你们。 25 因为凡有的,还要给他更多;凡没有的,连他仅有的也要夺去!”

关于农夫播种的寓言
4 耶稣又开始在湖边教导人们。聚集在他身边的人太多了,他离开岸边,上了一条船,坐了下来,所有的人都留在岸边。 2 耶稣通过讲故事来教导人们。他是这样讲的: 3 “听着!从前有个农夫出去播种。 4 他撒种的时候,有些种子掉在路边,被飞来的鸟儿吃掉了。 5 有些种子落在浅土的石地上,因为土壤不深,种子很快就发芽了, 6 但是扎不下根,太阳出来一晒,它们就枯萎了。 7 还有些种子落进荆棘丛中,草壮欺苗,种子最终不能结果。 8 另一些种子落进肥沃的土里,发芽,抽穗,结果;结出三十倍、六十倍、甚至一百倍的果实。”
9 耶稣又说∶“有耳能听的人, 都应该听着!”
耶稣为什么用寓言教导人
10 当耶稣独自一人时,与他和十二使徒在一起的人问耶稣这些寓言的含义。 11 耶稣告诉他们∶“只有你们这些人能知道上帝王国的奥秘,可是对其他人来说,我用寓言故事讲述一切。 12 这么做,以便:
‘他们看了又看,
却什么也看不见;
他们听了又听,
却什么也听不懂。
否则,他们有可能回归上帝,
得到宽恕。’” (A)
耶稣解释种子的寓言
13 耶稣对门徒说∶“你们理解这个寓言吗?如果不能,那么你们又怎么能够理解任何一个寓言呢? 14 农夫播种的是福音。 15 有些人就如播在路边的种子,他们听到后,撒旦立刻来把播在他们心中的福音夺走了。 16 有些人就像那些播在石头地上的种子。他们听到福音后,立即欣然接受了。 17 但是却没有在他们心中扎根,因此也只持续片刻。一旦福音给他招来麻烦或迫害,他们便立刻放弃了信仰。 18 另外一些人就像撒在荆棘丛中的种子,他们听到了福音, 19 但却让现世的烦恼、财富的诱惑和其它的欲望膨胀,窒息了福音,而无结果。 20 其他人则像撒在肥沃土壤里的种子, 他们听到了福音,便接受了,而且还结出硕果—有时增加三十倍、或六十倍,或者百倍的果实 [a]。”
用其所有
21 耶稣对人们说∶“灯拿来是被扣在碗下面或者放在床下的吗?灯拿来不是要被放在灯台上的吗? 22 所有隐藏的事情都会暴露,所有秘密的事情都会被人知道。 23 能听见我的话的人,听着。
24 “你们要仔细琢磨你们听到的。你们用怎样的量器给别人,上帝也会用怎样的量器给你们,而且甚至会多给你们。 25 拥有的人,会得到更多;几乎一无所有的人,就连他们仅有的一点点也要被拿走。” [b]

Mark 4:1-25
New International Version
The Parable of the Sower(A)(B)
4 Again Jesus began to teach by the lake.(C) The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water’s edge. 2 He taught them many things by parables,(D) and in his teaching said: 3 “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.(E) 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.”(F)
9 Then Jesus said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(G)
10 When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables. 11 He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God(H) has been given to you. But to those on the outside(I) everything is said in parables 12 so that,
“‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving,
and ever hearing but never understanding;
otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’[a]”(J)
13 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable? 14 The farmer sows the word.(K) 15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan(L) comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. 16 Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. 17 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 18 Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; 19 but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth(M) and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. 20 Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.”
A Lamp on a Stand
21 He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand?(N) 22 For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open.(O) 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.”(P)
24 “Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even more.(Q) 25 Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.”(R)

King James Version
4 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.
