马可福音 4:21-41
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
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!”
种子生长的比喻
26 祂又说:“上帝的国就像一个人在地上撒种。 27 他天天日出而作,日落而息。种子就在他不知不觉中渐渐发芽长大。 28 大地会使种子生长,先发苗后吐穗,最终结出饱满的籽粒。 29 庄稼成熟后,他就拿起镰刀来收割,因为收成的时候到了。”
芥菜种的比喻
30 耶稣说:“我们拿什么比作上帝的国呢?用什么比喻来解释呢? 31 上帝的国就像一粒芥菜种。它是种子中最小的, 32 但种在地里,却能长得比各样蔬菜都大,有粗大的枝条,可以让飞鸟在它的树荫中筑巢。”
33 耶稣用了许多类似的比喻,按照众人所能领悟的,把上帝的道讲给他们听。 34 祂总是用比喻对他们讲论,只有单独和门徒在一起的时候,才把一切解释清楚。
平息风浪
35 那天晚上,耶稣对门徒说:“我们渡到对面去吧。” 36 他们就离开众人,上了耶稣乘坐的船,一起渡到湖的对岸,还有其他船只跟着去。 37 忽然,湖面上狂风大作,波浪撞击船身,船内几乎灌满了水。 38 耶稣却还在船尾枕着枕头睡觉。门徒叫醒了祂,说:“老师,我们快淹死了,你怎么不管呢?”
39 耶稣起来斥责狂风,对着湖面说:“静下来!停下来!”于是就风平浪静了。 40 祂对门徒说:“你们为什么这样害怕呢?你们还是没有信心吗?”
41 他们极其害怕,彼此议论说:“祂到底是谁?连风浪都听祂的!”

Mark 4:21-41
New International Version
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?(A) 22 For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open.(B) 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.”(C)
24 “Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even more.(D) 25 Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.”(E)
The Parable of the Growing Seed
26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like.(F) A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”(G)
The Parable of the Mustard Seed(H)
30 Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like,(I) or what parable shall we use to describe it? 31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”
33 With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand.(J) 34 He did not say anything to them without using a parable.(K) But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.
Jesus Calms the Storm(L)
35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat.(M) There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”
39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”(N)
41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
Mark 4:21-41
King James Version
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?
