Then kai he got anistēmi up and was baptized baptizō; ¹⁹ and kai taking lambanō food trophē, he was strengthened enischuō. And de he was ginomai with meta the ho disciples mathētēs in en Damascus Damaskos for several tis days hēmera. ²⁰ And kai right eutheōs away he began proclaiming kēryssō Jesus Iēsous in en the ho synagogues synagōgē, · ho that hoti this houtos man is eimi the ho Son hyios of ho God theos. ²¹ And de all pas who ho heard akouō him were astonished existēmi and kai said legō, “ Is eimi not ou this houtos the ho man who in eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm was trying to destroy portheō those ho who called epikaleō on · ho this houtos name onoma?

²⁶ When he came paraginomai · de to eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm, he attempted peirazō to join kollaō the ho disciples mathētēs; but kai they were all pas afraid phobeomai of him autos, not mē believing pisteuō that hoti he was eimi a disciple mathētēs. ²⁷ But de Barnabas Barnabas took epilambanomai him autos and brought agō him to pros the ho apostles apostolos and kai he related diēgeomai to them autos how pōs on en the ho road hodos he had seen the ho Lord kyrios, and kai that hoti the Lord had spoken laleō to him autos, and kai how pōs in en Damascus Damaskos he had spoken parrēsiazomai out boldly in en the ho name onoma of ho Jesus Iēsous. ²⁸ And kai he was eimi with meta them autos, going eisporeuomai in and kai out ekporeuomai at eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm, speaking parrēsiazomai out boldly in en the ho name onoma of the ho Lord kyrios. ²⁹ He was talking laleō and kai disputing syzēteō with pros the ho Greek-speaking Hellēnistēs Jews , but de they ho were looking epicheireō for a way to kill anaireō him autos. ³⁰ And de when the ho brothers adelphos learned epiginōskō about this, they took katagō him autos down to eis Caesarea Kaisareia and kai sent exapostellō him autos off to eis Tarsus Tarsos.

¹³ And kai he said legō to them autos, “ Do you not ou understand oida · ho this houtos parable parabolē? Then kai how pōs will you understand ginōskō all pas the ho parables parabolē? ¹⁴ The ho sower speirō sows speirō the ho word logos. ¹⁵ These houtos · de are eimi the ho ones on para the ho path hodos where hopou the ho word logos is sown speirō: · kai whenever hotan they hear akouō, Satan Satanas immediately comes erchomai · ho and kai carries airō off the ho word logos that ho was sown speirō in eis them autos. ¹⁶ · kai These houtos are eimi the ho ones sown speirō on epi · ho rocky ground petrōdēs: whenever hotan they hear akouō the ho word logos, they lambanō immediately receive lambanō it autos with meta joy chara. ¹⁷ But kai they have echō no ou root rhiza in en themselves heautou and alla last for eimi only a limited time proskairos. Then eita, when tribulation thlipsis or ē persecution diōgmos comes ginomai because dia of the ho word logos, immediately they fall skandalizō away . ¹⁸ · kai Others allos are eimi the ho ones sown speirō among eis the ho thorns akantha: these houtos are eimi the ho ones who hear akouō the ho word logos, ¹⁹ but kai the ho cares merimna of the ho world aiōn, · kai the ho deceitfulness apatē of ho wealth ploutos, and kai the ho desires epithumia for peri · ho many other things loipos come eisporeuomai in and choke sympnigō the ho word logos, and kai it becomes ginomai barren akarpos. ²⁰ · kai These ekeinos are eimi the ho ones sown speirō on epi · ho good kalos soil gē: · ho they hostis hear akouō the ho word logos, · kai accept paradechomai it, and kai bear karpophoreō fruit — thirty heis triakonta, · kai sixty heis hexēkonta, and kai even a hundredfold heis hekaton.”

²¹ And kai he said legō to them autos, “A lamp lychnos is not mēti brought erchomai · ho to hina be put tithēmi under hypo a ho basket modios or ē under hypo a ho bed klinē, is it?

By en what hos measure metron you measure metreō it will be measured metreō out to you hymeis, and kai more will be added prostithēmi to you hymeis. ²⁵ For gar whoever hos has echō, more will be given didōmi to him autos; and kai whoever hos does not ou have echō, even kai what hos he does have echō will be taken airō away from apo him autos.” ²⁶ And kai he said legō, “ The ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos is eimi like hōs a man anthrōpos who scatters ballō · ho seed sporos on epi the ho ground gē. ²⁷ · kai He goes to bed katheudō and kai gets egeirō up , night nyx and kai day hēmera, and kai the ho seed sporos sprouts blastanō and kai grows mēkynō, although he autos does not ou know oida how hōs. ²⁸ The ho soil gē produces a crop karpophoreō all by itself automatos: first prōton the stalk chortos, then eita the head stachus, then eita the full plērēs grain sitos in en the ho head stachus. ²⁹ And de when hotan the ho grain karpos is ripe paradidōmi, immediately he sends apostellō in the ho sickle drepanon, because hoti the ho harvest therismos has come paristēmi.”

³⁰ Then kai he said legō, “To what pōs can we compare homoioō the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos, or ē what tis parable parabolē can we use tithēmi for en it autos? ³¹ It is like hōs a mustard sinapi seed kokkos that hos, when hotan it is sown speirō in epi the ho ground gē, is eimi smaller mikros than all pas of the ho seeds sperma · ho on epi · ho earth gē. ³² Yet kai when hotan it is sown speirō, it grows anabainō up and kai becomes ginomai larger megas than all pas the ho garden plants lachanon and kai puts poieō out large megas branches klados, so hōste that the ho birds peteinon of the ho air ouranos are able dynamai to nest kataskēnoō in hypo · ho its autos shade skia.”

And kai other allos boats ploion were eimi with meta him autos. ³⁷ Now kai a fierce megas windstorm lailaps arose ginomai and kai the ho waves kyma began to break epiballō into eis the ho boat ploion, so hōste that the ho boat ploion was now ēdē filling gemizō. ³⁸ But kai Jesus autos was eimi in en the ho stern prymna, sleeping katheudō on epi a ho cushion proskephalaion. · kai They woke egeirō him autos and kai said legō to him autos, “ Teacher didaskalos, do you sy not ou care melei that hoti we are perishing apollymi?” ³⁹ So kai he got diegeirō up and rebuked epitimaō the ho wind anemos and kai said legō to the ho sea thalassa, “ Be still siōpaō!
