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)
The Parable of the Growing Seed
26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like.(S) 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.”(T)
The Parable of the Mustard Seed(U)
30 Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like,(V) 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.(W) 34 He did not say anything to them without using a parable.(X) But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.
Jesus Calms the Storm(Y)
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.(Z) 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?”(AA)
41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

Mark 4
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.
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?

Agano Jipya: Tafsiri ya Kusoma-Kwa-Urahisi
Simulizi Kuhusu Mkulima Aliyepanda Mbegu
(Mt 13:1-9; Lk 8:4-8)
4 Kwa mara nyingine Yesu akaanza kufundisha kando ya ziwa. Umati wa watu ukakusanyika kumzunguka, naye akapanda ndani ya mtumbwi ili akae na kufundisha huku mtumbwi ukielea. 2 Yesu akawafundisha mambo mengi kwa simulizi zenye mafumbo. Katika mafundisho yake alisema:
3 “Sikilizeni! Mkulima mmoja alitoka kwenda kupanda mbegu. 4 Alipokuwa akitupa na kuzisambaza mbegu hizo nyingine ikaanguka katika njia, na ndege wakaja na kuila. 5 Mbegu nyingine ikaanguka juu ya uwanja wenye miamba, mahali ambapo hapakuwa na udongo wa kutosha. Hiyo mbegu ilichanua haraka kwani udongo ule haukuwa na kina cha kutosha. 6 Lakini jua lilipochomoza, ule mmea uliungua na kwa sababu haukuwa na mizizi ya kutosha ulinyauka. 7 Mbegu nyingine ilianguka kwenye magugu yenye miiba, na miiba ile ilikua na hatimaye kuibana sana na hivyo haikuzaa chochote. 8 Mbegu nyingine ilianguka kwenye udongo mzuri, nayo ikaota, ikakua na kuzaa matunda; ikazaa mara thelathini, sitini na hata mia zaidi.”
9 Kisha akasema, “Kila mwenye masikio mazuri ayasikie haya.”
Kwa nini Yesu Alitumia Simulizi Kufundisha
(Mt 13:10-17; Lk 8:9-10)
10 Yesu alipokuwa peke yake, wale waliomzunguka na wale kumi na wawili walimuuliza kuhusu mifano hiyo.
11 Akawaambia, “Ni ninyi tu mliojaliwa kuzifahamu siri juu ya Ufalme wa Mungu. Lakini kwa wale walio nje nanyi mambo yote yatasemwa kwa simulizi zenye mafumbo, 12 Ili kwamba,
‘japo watatazama
sana hawataona,
na kwamba japo watasikia
sana hawataelewa;
vinginevyo,
wangegeuka na kusamehewa!’”(A)
Yesu Afafanua Simulizi Kuhusu Mbegu
(Mt 13:18-23; Lk 8:11-15)
13 Akawaambia, “Hamuelewi mfano huu? Sasa je mtaelewaje mfano wowote nitakaowapa? 14 Mkulima ni badala ya yule anayepanda lile neno la Mungu. 15 Watu wengine ni kama ile mbegu zilizoanguka juu ya njia pale ambapo neno la Mungu limepandwa. Baada ya kulisikia lile neno la Mungu, ndipo Shetani huja haraka na kuyaondoa yale mafundisho ya Mungu yaliyopandwa ndani yao.
16 Watu wengine ni kama mbegu iliyopandwa kwenye eneo lenye mawe mengi. Wanapolisikia neno wanalipokea haraka kwa furaha. 17 Lakini wao wenyewe wanakuwa bado hawajaliruhusu lizame zaidi katika maisha yao. Shida au mateso yanapotokea kwa sababu ya lile neno, kwa haraka sana wanaiacha imani.
18 Watu wengine ni kama mbegu iliyopandwa katika miiba. Hawa ndio wale wanaolisikia neno, 19 lakini mahangaiko ya maisha haya ya sasa, kuvutiwa na mali, na tamaa mbalimbali zingine huja na kulibana sana lile neno, nalo haliwezi kuwa na matokeo mazuri.[a]
20 Wengine ni kama mbegu iliyopandwa katika udongo mzuri. Hawa ni wale wanaolisikia neno, na kulipokea na hivyo kuwa na matokeo mazuri; wengine kutoa thelathini, wengine sitini na wengine mia moja zaidi.”
Zingatieni Nuru
(Lk 8:16-18)
21 Yesu akawaambia, “Unapoileta taa ndani[b] je unaiweka chini ya bakuli ama uvungu wa kitanda? Au unaileta ndani na kuiweka juu ya kitako cha taa? 22 Kwani kila kilichofichika kitafunuliwa, na kila kilicho cha siri kitatokea kweupe kwenye mwanga. 23 Yeyote mwenye masikio mazuri ni bora asikie.” 24 Kisha akawaambia, “Zingatieni kwa makini kile mnachokisikia. Kwani jinsi mnavyosikiliza kwa makini, ndivyo mtakavyoelewa na kuzidi kuelewa. 25 Kwa kuwa kila aliye na uelewa kidogo ataongezewa zaidi. Lakini wale wasiosikiliza kwa makini watapoteza hata ule uelewa mdogo walio nao.”[c]
Yesu Atumia Simulizi Kuhusu Mbegu Inayokua
26 Yesu akasema, “Hivi ndivyo Ufalme wa Mungu unavyofanana: Mtu mmoja alitoka kwenda kupanda mbegu zake katika udongo shambani. 27 Usiku alienda kulala na asubuhi aliamka na zile mbegu zikiota na kukua; na hakujua jinsi gani hiyo ilifanyika. 28 Ardhi yenyewe inatoa nafaka; kwanza hutoka shina, kisha kinafuata kichwa na mwishoni hutokea nafaka kamili katika kichwa. 29 Nafaka ile inapokuwa imekomaa, basi mkulima huikata kwa fyekeo kwani wakati wa mavuno umekwishafika.”
Simulizi Nyingine ya Ufalme
(Mt 13:31-32,34-35; Lk 13:18-19)
30 Yesu akasema, “Niufanananishe na kitu gani ufalme wa mbinguni? Au tutumie mfano gani kuuelezea? 31 Ni kama mbegu ya haradali, ambayo ni mbegu ndogo sana kuliko zote inapopandwa ardhini. 32 Lakini inapokuwa imepandwa, inakua na kuwa kubwa sana kuliko mimea yote ya bustanini, na pia hubeba matawi makubwa, kiasi kwamba ndege wa angani wanaweza kupumzika katika kivuli chake.”
33 Kwa mifano mingi kama hii aliendelea kuwafundisha kila kitu kwa kuzingatia uwezo wao wa kuelewa. 34 Yesu hakusema kitu kwao bila kutumia mfano. Lakini alipokuwa peke yake pamoja na wanafunzi wake, alifafanua kila kitu kwao.
Yesu Atuliza Dhoruba
(Mt 8:23-27; Lk 8:22-25)
35 Siku ile ilipofika jioni aliwaambia, “Hebu tuvuke kwenda ng'ambo ya pili ya ziwa.” 36 Kwa hiyo wakaliacha lile kundi. Wakamchukua pamoja nao alipokuwa amerudi katika mtumbwi. Wakati ule ule palikuwepo na mitumbwi mingi mingine ziwani. 37 Dhoruba kubwa ikatokea na mawimbi yalikuwa yanakuja katika pembe zote za mtumbwi. Mtumbwi nao ulikaribia kujaa maji kabisa 38 lakini Yesu alikuwa amelala nyuma ya mtumbwi akiegemea mto. Wakamwaamsha na kumwambia, “Mwalimu je wewe hujali kwamba tunazama?”
39 Kisha akainuka, akaukemea upepo, na akaliamuru ziwa, “Nyamaza Kimya! Tulia!” Upepo ule ukatulia na ziwa nalo likatulia kabisa.
40 Kisha akawaambia, “Kwa nini mnaogopa? Je! Bado hamna imani yoyote?”
41 Lakini walikuwa na woga sana, na wakasemezana wao kwa wao, “Ni nani basi huyu ambaye hata upepo na ziwa vinamtii?”

Watasahau kidogo walichoelewa.”

The Parable of the Sower(A)
4 And (B)again He began to teach by the sea. And a great multitude was gathered to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole multitude was on the land facing the sea. 2 Then He taught them many things by parables, (C)and said to them in His teaching:
3 “Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds [a]of the air came and devoured it. 5 Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have 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 seed fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no [b]crop. 8 But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”
9 And He said [c]to them, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
The Purpose of Parables(D)
10 (E)But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable. 11 And He said to them, “To you it has been given to (F)know the [d]mystery of the kingdom of God; but to (G)those who are outside, all things come in parables, 12 so that
(H)‘Seeing they may see and not perceive,
And hearing they may hear and not understand;
Lest they should turn,
And their sins be forgiven them.’ ”
The Parable of the Sower Explained(I)
13 And He said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? 14 (J)The sower sows the word. 15 And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16 These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they stumble. 18 Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, 19 and the (K)cares of this world, (L)the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. 20 But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, [e]accept it, and bear (M)fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”
Light Under a Basket(N)
21 (O)Also He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be set on a lampstand? 22 (P)For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light. 23 (Q)If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24 Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. (R)With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given. 25 (S)For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
The Parable of the Growing Seed
26 And He said, (T)“The kingdom of God is as if a man should [f]scatter seed on the ground, 27 and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and (U)grow, he himself does not know how. 28 For the earth (V)yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. 29 But when the grain ripens, immediately (W)he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
The Parable of the Mustard Seed(X)
30 Then He said, (Y)“To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? 31 It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; 32 but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.”
Jesus’ Use of Parables
33 (Z)And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it. 34 But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, (AA)He explained all things to His disciples.
Wind and Wave Obey Jesus(AB)
35 (AC)On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” 36 Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. 38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, (AD)“Teacher, (AE)do You not care that we are perishing?”
39 Then He arose and (AF)rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, (AG)“Peace,[g] be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. 40 But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? (AH)How[h] is it that you have no faith?” 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”

The Parable of the Sower
4 Again (A)he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, (B)so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea, and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. 2 And (C)he was teaching them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them: 3 “Listen! Behold, (D)a sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. 5 Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil. 6 And (E)when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it had no root, (F)it withered away. 7 Other seed fell among (G)thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. 8 And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and (H)a hundredfold.” 9 And he said, (I)“He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
The Purpose of the Parables
10 And (J)when he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables. 11 And he said to them, (K)“To you has been given (L)the secret of the kingdom of God, but for (M)those outside everything is in parables, 12 (N)so that
“‘they (O)may indeed see but not perceive,
and may indeed hear but not understand,
lest they (P)should turn and be forgiven.’”
13 (Q)And he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? 14 (R)The sower sows (S)the word. 15 And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown: when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in them. 16 And these are the ones sown on rocky ground: the ones who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it (T)with joy. 17 And they have no root in themselves, but (U)endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately (V)they fall away.[a] 18 And others are the ones sown among thorns. They are those who hear the word, 19 but (W)the cares of (X)the world and (Y)the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 20 But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and (Z)bear fruit, (AA)thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.”
A Lamp Under a Basket
21 (AB)And he said to them, (AC)“Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, and not on a stand? 22 (AD)For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light. 23 (AE)If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” 24 And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: (AF)with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you. 25 (AG)For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”
The Parable of the Seed Growing
26 And he said, (AH)“The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground. 27 He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; (AI)he knows not how. 28 The earth produces by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. 29 But when the grain is ripe, at once (AJ)he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
The Parable of the Mustard Seed
30 (AK)And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it? 31 It is like (AL)a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth, 32 yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.”
33 (AM)With many such parables he spoke (AN)the word to them, (AO)as they were able to hear it. 34 He did not speak to them (AP)without a parable, but (AQ)privately to his own disciples he (AR)explained everything.
Jesus Calms a Storm
35 (AS)On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” 36 And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves (AT)were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. 38 But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” 39 And he awoke and (AU)rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and (AV)there was a great calm. 40 He said to them, “Why are you (AW)so afraid? Have you still no faith?” 41 And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, (AX)“Who then is this, that even (AY)the wind and the sea obey him?”
