Het verhaal van de zaaier
4 Opnieuw begon Jezus bij het meer les te geven. Een heel grote groep mensen kwam naar Hem toe. Daarom ging Hij in een boot zitten en voer een klein eindje het meer op. En de mensen bleven aan de kant naar Hem luisteren. 2 Hij leerde hun allerlei dingen in de vorm van verhalen.
Hij zei tegen hen: 3 "Luister. Een zaaier ging zaaien. 4 Een deel van het zaad viel langs de weg. Daar werd het door de vogels opgegeten. 5 Een ander deel viel op rotsgrond, waar het niet veel aarde had. Daardoor kwam het zaad snel op. 6 Maar toen de zon opkwam, ging het dood. Het verdroogde doordat het haast geen wortels had. 7 Een ander deel viel tussen de distels. Toen de distels opkwamen, verstikten die het, zodat er geen graan aan groeide. 8 De rest viel in goede aarde. En toen het opkwam, werden het mooie, volle planten waar veel graan in zat, wel 30, 60 en 100 keer zoveel als dat er gezaaid was. 9 Als je oren hebt, moet je ook goed luisteren."
Betekenis van het verhaal van de zaaier
10 Toen Jezus alleen was met de twaalf leerlingen en nog een paar andere mensen, vroegen ze Hem wat het verhaal betekende. 11 Hij zei tegen hen: "Jullie mogen de geheimen van het Koninkrijk van God begrijpen. Maar de mensen die er niet bij horen, krijgen alleen verhalen te horen. 12 Het is zoals de profeet Jesaja zei: 'Ze kijken wel, maar zien niets. En ze horen wel, maar begrijpen niets. Daardoor gaan ze niet leven zoals God het wil en vergeeft God hun niet.' "
13 Hij zei tegen hen: "Begrijpen jullie dit verhaal niet? Hoe kunnen jullie dan de andere verhalen begrijpen? 14 De zaaier zaait het woord van God. 15 Het zaad langs de weg zijn de mensen die het woord horen, maar bij wie de duivel onmiddellijk het woord steelt dat in hun hart was gezaaid. 16 Het zaad dat op rotsgrond viel, zijn de mensen die het woord horen en het onmiddellijk blij geloven. 17 Maar ze hebben geen wortels: hun geloof zit niet diep. Ze geloven wel een tijdje, maar als er later problemen en moeilijkheden komen omdat ze het woord geloven, verliezen ze hun geloof. 18 Het deel dat tussen de distels valt, zijn weer andere mensen die het woord horen. 19 Bij hen komen de zorgen van de wereld en het verlangen naar rijkdom en naar alle andere dingen erbij. Die verstikken het woord en het woord geeft geen vrucht. 20 En dit is het deel dat in goede grond is gezaaid: de mensen die het woord horen en in zich opnemen, waardoor er veel vrucht aan hen groeit: 30, 60 en 100 keer zoveel als dat er gezaaid is."
Hoe je moet luisteren
21 Jezus zei tegen hen: "Als je een olielamp aansteekt, zet je hem daarna niet onder een emmer of onder je bed. Nee, je zet hem ergens hoog neer waar iedereen hem goed ziet. 22 Alles wat verborgen is, zal zichtbaar worden. En alles wat in het donker gebeurde, zal voor iedereen te zien zijn. 23 Als je oren hebt, moet je ook goed luisteren."
24 En Hij zei tegen hen: "Let goed op wát je hoort. Met de maat waarmee jullie meten, zullen jullie zelf ook worden gemeten. En je zal zelfs meer krijgen dan dat. 25 Want mensen die hebben, zullen nog meer krijgen. Maar van de mensen die niet hebben, zal afgenomen worden zelfs wat ze wél hebben."
Hoe het Koninkrijk van God groeit
26 Jezus zei: "Je kan het Koninkrijk van God vergelijken met een man die zaad zaait. 27 Dan gaat hij slapen en staat weer op, dag na dag. Intussen komt het zaad op. Het groeit, zonder dat de man weet hoe. 28 De grond geeft vanzelf vrucht: eerst een halm, daarna een aar, daarna het graan in de aar. 29 Zodra het graan rijp is, laat hij het maaien. Want dan is het tijd voor de oogst.
30 Hoe zal Ik het Koninkrijk van God nog meer uitleggen? Waarmee kun je het nog meer vergelijken? 31 Je kan het ook vergelijken met een mosterdzaadje. Op het moment dat het wordt gezaaid, is het maar een heel klein zaadje. 32 Maar als het opkomt, wordt het groter dan alle tuinkruiden. Het krijgt zulke grote takken dat de vogels er hun nesten tussen kunnen bouwen."
33 Met nog veel meer van zulke verhalen vertelde Hij hun het woord. Want dat was voor hen de enige manier waarop ze het konden horen. 34 Hij vertelde hun alles in de vorm van een verhaal. En elke keer nam Hij zijn leerlingen apart en legde hun alles uit.
De storm op het meer
35 Toen het al laat was geworden, zei Jezus: "Laten we naar de overkant van het meer varen." 36 Ze verlieten de grote groepen mensen en voeren weg met Jezus die al in de boot zat. Er voeren nog andere bootjes met hen mee. 37 Het begon te stormen. De golven sloegen in de boot, zodat hij volliep. 38 Maar Jezus Zelf lag achter in de boot tegen het kussen te slapen. Ze maakten Hem wakker en riepen: "Meester! Kan het U dan niets schelen dat we zinken?" 39 Jezus werd wakker en zei streng tegen de wind en het meer: "Zwijg! Wees stil!" En de wind ging liggen en het water werd helemaal rustig. 40 Hij zei tegen hen: "Waarom waren jullie zo bang? Waarom hebben jullie geen geloof?" 41 Ze waren geschokt en zeiden tegen elkaar: "Wie is Hij toch? Zelfs de wind en het water gehoorzamen Hem!"
Marcos 4
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Ang Talinghaga ng Manghahasik(A)
4 Muling (B) nagturo si Jesus sa tabi ng lawa. Napakaraming tao ang nagtipon sa palibot niya, kaya't sumakay siya sa isang bangkang nasa lawa at naupo roon. Ang mga tao nama'y nasa dalampasigan. 2 Marami siyang itinuro sa kanila sa pamamagitan ng mga talinghaga. Sinabi niya sa kanila, 3 “Makinig kayo! May isang manghahasik ang lumabas upang maghasik ng binhi. 4 Sa kanyang paghahasik ang ilang binhi ay nahulog sa tabing daan. Dumating ang mga ibon at kinain ito. 5 May mga binhi namang nahulog sa batuhang may manipis na lupa. Agad sumibol ang mga binhi sapagkat ang lupa ay hindi malalim. 6 Nang sumikat ang araw, nalanta at natuyo ang mga pananim, dahil walang gaanong ugat. 7 May mga binhi namang nalaglag sa tinikan. Lumago ang mga tinik at sinakal ang binhing tumubo kaya't hindi namunga. 8 Ang ibang binhi ay nalaglag sa matabang lupa. Tumubo ang mga ito, lumago at namunga nang marami—may tigtatatlumpu, tig-aanimnapu, at tig-isandaan.” 9 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Ang may pandinig ay makinig.”
Ang Layunin ng mga Talinghaga(C)
10 Nang nag-iisa na siya, nilapitan si Jesus ng ilang nakikinig, kasama ang labindalawa. Itinanong nila ang kahulugan ng talinghaga. 11 Sinabi niya, “Sa inyo ipinagkaloob ang hiwaga ng paghahari ng Diyos. Ngunit sa kanilang nasa labas, sinasabi ang lahat sa pamamagitan ng talinghaga. 12 Kaya nga (D)
‘tumingin man sila nang tumingin ay hindi sila makakakita;
at makinig man nang makinig ay hindi sila makauunawa;
baka sila'y magbalik-loob at patawarin.’ ”
13 Tinanong sila ni Jesus, “Hindi ba ninyo nauunawaan ang talinghagang ito? Paano ninyo mauunawaan ang iba pang talinghaga? 14 Ang naghahasik ay naghahasik ng Salita. 15 May mga taong tulad ng binhing nahasik sa daan. Matapos silang makinig, agad dumarating si Satanas at inaagaw ang salitang inihasik sa kanila. 16 Ang iba nama'y tulad ng mga nahasik sa batuhan. Nang marinig nila ang salita, buong galak nila itong tinanggap. 17 Ngunit dahil walang ugat, sandali lamang silang nagtatagal at madali silang tumalikod pagdating ng kapighatian o mga pag-uusig dahil sa Salita. 18 Ang iba nama'y tulad ng nahasik sa tinikan. Nakinig sila sa Salita, 19 ngunit dahil sa mga alalahanin sa buhay na ito, daya ng kayamanan, at pagnanasa sa ibang bagay, nawawalan ng puwang ang Salita sa kanilang puso at ito'y hindi makapamunga. 20 Ang iba nama'y tulad ng nahasik sa matabang lupa. Nakinig sila sa Salita, tinanggap ito at namumunga ng tatlumpu, animnapu at isandaan.”
Ang Ilawan sa Ilalim ng Takalan(E)
21 Sinabi (F) pa ni Jesus, “Ang ilaw bang sinindihan ay inilalagay sa ilalim ng takalan, o sa ilalim ng higaan? Hindi ba't inilalagay ito sa talagang patungan ng ilaw? 22 Sapagkat (G) anumang nakatago ay malalantad, at anumang nalilihim ay mabubunyag. 23 Ang may pandinig ay makinig.” 24 Sinabi rin (H) niya, “Unawain ninyong mabuti ang inyong pinakikinggan. Kung ano ang panukat na ginamit ninyo ay siya ring gagamitin sa inyo, at higit pa roon ang ibibigay sa inyo. 25 Sapagkat (I) ang mayroon na ay bibigyan pa; at ang wala, pati na ang nasa kanya ay kukunin pa.”
Ang Binhing Tumutubo
26 Sinabi pa ni Jesus, “Ang paghahari ng Diyos ay katulad nito: May isang taong naghasik ng binhi sa lupa. 27 Natutulog siya at gumigising sa araw at gabi, sumisibol pa rin at lumalaki ang binhi nang hindi niya namamalayan kung paano. 28 Ang lupa sa kanyang sarili ang nagpapasibol sa halaman,[a] una ang usbong, saka ang uhay, pagkatapos ay ang uhay na hitik sa butil. 29 Kapag (J) hinog na ang bunga, magsusugo agad ang magsasaka ng gagapas sapagkat panahon na ng pag-aani.”
Ang Butil ng Mustasa(K)
30 Nagpatuloy si Jesus, “Saan natin maihahambing ang paghahari ng Diyos? Ano'ng talinghaga ang gagamitin natin upang ilarawan ito? 31 Tulad ito ng binhi ng mustasa na siyang pinakamaliit sa lahat ng mga binhi. 32 Ngunit kapag ito'y naihasik, lumalaki ito at nagiging pinakamalaki sa lahat ng halaman. Yumayabong ang mga sanga nito, kaya't ang mga ibon ay nakapagpupugad sa lilim nito.”
Ang Paggamit ng mga Talinghaga(L)
33 Sa pamamagitan ng gayong maraming talinghaga ipinangaral sa kanila ni Jesus ang Salita, ayon sa kakayahan nilang makinig. 34 Hindi siya nangaral sa kanila nang hindi gumagamit ng talinghaga. Ngunit ipinapaliwanag niya ang lahat nang sarilinan sa kanyang mga alagad.
Pinatigil ni Jesus ang Unos(M)
35 Kinagabihan, sinabi niya sa kanyang mga alagad, “Tumawid tayo sa ibayo.” 36 Kaya't iniwan nila ang mga tao at tumawid ng lawa lulan ng bangkang sinasakyan ni Jesus. May iba pang mga bangkang sumabay sa kanila. 37 Dumating ang isang malakas na unos kaya't hinampas ng malalaking alon ang bangkang kanilang sinasakyan. Halos mapuno na ito ng tubig. 38 Si Jesus nama'y natutulog sa hulihan ng bangka at nakahilig sa isang unan. Ginising siya ng mga alagad. “Guro,” sabi nila, “wala ba kayong malasakit? Malulunod na tayo!” 39 Bumangon si Jesus, sinaway ang hangin at inutusan ang lawa, “Pumayapa ka. Tumahimik ka!” Tumigil nga ang hangin at nagkaroon ng katahimikan. 40 Sinabi niya sa mga alagad, “Bakit kayo natakot? Wala pa ba kayong pananampalataya?” 41 Labis silang natakot at sinabi sa isa't isa, “Sino kaya ito? Pati hangin at tubig ay sumusunod sa kanya?”

Mark 4
New King James Version
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!”
