41:004:017 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. 41:004:018 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 41:004:019 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. 41:004:020 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. 41:004:021 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? 41:004:022 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. 41:004:023 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 41:004:024 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. 41:004:025 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath. 41:004:026 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 41:004:027 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 41:004:028 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 41:004:029 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. 41:004:030 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? 41:004:031 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: 41:004:032 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. 41:004:033 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. 41:004:034 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. 41:004:035 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. 41:004:036 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. 41:004:037 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
