004:021 He went on to say, "Is the lamp brought in in order to be put under the bushel or under the bed? Is it not rather in order that it may be placed on the lampstand? 004:022 Why, there is nothing hidden except with a view to its being ultimately disclosed, nor has anything been made a secret but that it may at last come to light. 004:023 Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!" 004:024 He also said to them, "Take care what you hear. With what measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and that with interest. 004:025 For those who have will have more given them; and from those who have not, even what they have will be taken away." 004:026 Another saying of His was this: "The Kingdom of God is as if a man scattered seed over the ground: 004:027 he spends days and nights, now awake, now asleep, while the seed sprouts and grows tall, he knows not how. 004:028 Of itself the land produces the crop--first the blade, then the ear; afterwards the perfect grain is seen in the ear. 004:029 But no sooner is the crop ripe, than he sends the reapers, because the time of harvest has come." 004:030 Another saying of His was this: "How are we to picture the Kingdom of God? or by what figure of speech shall we represent it? 004:031 It is like a mustard-seed, which, when sown in the earth, is the smallest of all the seeds in the world; 004:032 yet when sown it springs up and becomes larger than all the herbs, and throws out great branches, so that the birds build under its shadow." 004:033 With many such parables He used to speak the Message to them according to their capacity for receiving it. 004:034 But except in figurative language He spoke nothing to them; while to His own disciples He expounded everything, in private. 004:035 The same day, in the evening, He said to them, "Let us cross to the other side." 004:036 So they got away from the crowd, and took Him--as He was-- in the boat; and other boats accompanied Him. 004:037 But a heavy squall came on, and the waves were now dashing into the boat, so that it was fast filling. 004:038 But He Himself was in the stern asleep, with His head on the cushion: so they woke Him. "Rabbi," they cried, "is it nothing to you that we are drowning?" 004:039 So He roused Himself and rebuked the wind, and said to the waves, "Silence! Be still!" The wind sank, and a perfect calm set in. 004:040 "Why are you so timid?" He asked; "have you still no faith?" 004:041 Then they were filled with terror, and began to say to one another, "Who is this, then? For even wind and sea obey Him." 005:001 So they arrived at the opposite shore of the Lake, in the country of the Gerasenes.
