41:003:031 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. 41:003:032 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. 41:003:033 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? 41:003:034 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 41:003:035 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. 41:004:001 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. 41:004:002 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, 41:004:003 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: 41:004:004 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. 41:004:005 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 41:004:006 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 41:004:007 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 41:004:008 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. 41:004:009 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 41:004:010 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. 41:004:011 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: 41:004:012 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. 41:004:013 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? 41:004:014 The sower soweth the word. 41:004:015 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. 41:004:016 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
