New Testament in a Year

²¹ And he said to them, Where a lantern cometh, that it be put under a bushel, or under a bed? nay, but that it be put on a candlestick?^[a]

²² [Forsooth] There is nothing hid, that shall not be made open [that shall not be showed]; neither any thing is privy, that shall not come into open [which shall not come into apert].

²³ If any man have ears of hearing, hear he.

²⁴ And he said to them, See ye what ye hear. In what measure ye mete, it shall be meted to you again [it shall be meted to you], and it shall be cast to you.

²⁵ For it shall be given to him that hath, and it shall be taken away from him that hath not, also that that he hath. [Forsooth it shall be given to him that hath, and if man hath not, yea this that he hath shall be taken away from him.]

²⁶ And he said, So the kingdom of God is, as if a man cast seed into the earth,

²⁷ and he sleep, and it rise up night and day [and it sleep, and rise up in night and day], and bring forth seed, and wax fast, while he knoweth not.

²⁸ For the earth [by his own working/by his own will] maketh fruit, first the grass, afterward the ear, and after full fruit in the ear [afterward full fruit in the ear].

²⁹ And when of itself it hath brought forth fruit, at once [anon] he sendeth a sickle, for reaping time is come.

³⁰ And he said, To what thing shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what parable shall we comparison it?

³¹ As a corn of mustard seed, which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all seeds that be in the earth;

³² and when it is sprung up, it waxeth into a tree, and is made greater than all herbs [and when it is sown, it waxeth into a tree, and is made more than all worts, or herbs]; and it maketh great branches, so that [the] birds of heaven may dwell [be able to dwell] under the shadow thereof.

³³ And in many such parables he spake to them the word, as they might hear;

³⁴ and he spake not to them without parable. But he expounded to his disciples all things by themselves^[b].

³⁵ And he said to them in that day, when evening was come, Pass we over to the other side. [And he saith to them in that day, when evening was made, Pass we again-ward.]

³⁶ And they let go the people, and took him, so that he was in a boat [And they leaving the company of people, took him, so that he was in the boat]; and other boats were with him.

³⁷ And a great storm of wind was made, and cast waves into the boat, so that the boat was full. [And there was made a great tempest of wind, and sent floods into the ship, so that the ship was full-filled.]

³⁸ And he was in the hinder part of the boat, and slept on a pillow^[c]. And they raise him, and say to him, Master, pertaineth it not to thee, that we perish?

³⁹ And he rose up, and menaced the wind, and said to the sea, Be still, wax dumb. And the wind ceased, and great peaceableness was made.

⁴⁰ And he said to them, What dread ye? Yet ye have no faith? [And he said to them, What be ye dread-full? Not yet have ye faith?]

⁴¹ And they dreaded with great dread, and said to each other [and said each to other], Who, guessest thou, is this? for the wind and the sea obey to him.
