4:1

Και παλιν ηρξατο διδασκειν παρα την θαλασσαν και συναγεται προς αυτον οχλος πλειστος ωστε αυτον εις πλοιον εμβαντα καθησθαι εν τη θαλασση και πας ο οχλος προς την θαλασσαν επι της γης ησαν

And again he began to teach by the sea side. And there is gathered unto him a very great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land.

4:2

Και εδιδασκεν αυτους εν παραβολαις πολλα και ελεγεν αυτοις εν τη διδαχη αυτου

And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his teaching,

4:3

Ακουετε ιδου εξηλθεν ο σπειρων σπειραι

Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow:

4:4

και εγενετο εν τω σπειρειν ο μεν επεσεν παρα την οδον και ηλθεν τα πετεινα και κατεφαγεν αυτο

and it came to pass, as he sowed, some seed fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it.

4:5

Και αλλο επεσεν επι το πετρωδες οπου ουκ ειχεν γην πολλην και ευθυς εξανετειλεν δια το μη εχειν βαθος γης

And other fell on the rocky ground, where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth:

4:6

και οτε ανετειλεν ο ηλιος εκαυματισθη και δια το μη εχειν ριζαν εξηρανθη

and when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

4:7

Και αλλο επεσεν εις τας ακανθας και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και συνεπνιξαν αυτο και καρπον ουκ εδωκεν

And other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

4:8

Και αλλα επεσεν εις την γην την καλην και εδιδου καρπον αναβαινοντα και αυξανομενα και εφερεν εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον

And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.

4:9

Και ελεγεν Ος εχει ωτα ακουειν ακουετω

And he said, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

4:10

Και οτε εγενετο κατα μονας ηρωτων αυτον οι περι αυτον συν τοις δωδεκα τας παραβολας

And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parables.

4:11

Και ελεγεν αυτοις Υμιν το μυστηριον δεδοται της βασιλειας του Θεου εκεινοις δε τοις εξω εν παραβολαις τα παντα γινεται

And he said unto them, Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables:

¹

4:12

ινα Βλεποντες βλεπωσιν και μη ιδωσιν Και ακουοντες ακουωσιν και μη συνιωσιν Μηποτε επιστρεψωσιν Και αφεθη αυτοις

that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest haply they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them.

4:13

Και λεγει αυτοις Ουκ οιδατε την παραβολην ταυτην και πως πασας τας παραβολας γνωσεσθε

And he saith unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how shall ye know all the parables?

4:14

Ο σπειρων τον λογον σπειρει

The sower soweth the word.

4:15

ουτοι δε εισιν οι παρα την οδον οπου σπειρεται ο λογος και οταν ακουσωσιν ευθυς ερχεται ο Σατανας και αιρει τον λογον τον εσπαρμενον εις αυτους

And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; and when they have heard, straightway cometh Satan, and taketh away the word which hath been sown in them.

4:16

Και ουτοι εισιν οι επι τα πετρωδη σπειρομενοι οι οταν ακουσωσιν τον λογον ευθυς μετα χαρας λαμβανουσιν αυτον

And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy;

4:17

και ουκ εχουσιν ριζαν εν εαυτοις αλλα προσκαιροι εισιν ειτα γενομενης θλιψεως η διωγμου δια τον λογον ευθυς σκανδαλιζονται

and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble.

4:18

Και αλλοι εισιν οι εις τας ακανθας σπειρομενοι ουτοι εισιν οι τον λογον ακουσαντες

And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word,

4:19

και αι μεριμναι του αιωνος και η απατη του πλουτου και αι περι τα λοιπα επιθυμιαι εισπορευομεναι συμπνιγουσιν τον λογον και ακαρπος γινεται

and the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

4:20

Και εκεινοι εισιν οι επι την γην την καλην σπαρεντες οιτινες ακουουσιν τον λογον και παραδεχονται και καρποφορουσιν εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον

And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.

4:21

Και ελεγεν αυτοις Μητι ερχεται ο λυχνος ινα υπο τον μοδιον τεθη η υπο την κλινην ουχ ινα επι την λυχνιαν τεθη

And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, and not to be put on the stand?

4:22

ου γαρ εστιν κρυπτον εαν μη ινα φανερωθη ουδε εγενετο αποκρυφον αλλ ινα ελθη εις φανερον

For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.

4:23

Ει τις εχει ωτα ακουειν ακουετω

If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.

4:24

Και ελεγεν αυτοις Βλεπετε τι ακουετε εν ω μετρω μετρειτε μετρηθησεται υμιν και προστεθησεται υμιν

And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete it shall be measured unto you; and more shall be given unto you.

4:25

ος γαρ εχει δοθησεται αυτω και ος ουκ εχει και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου

For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.

4:26

Και ελεγεν Ουτως εστιν η βασιλεια του Θεου ως ανθρωπος βαλη τον σπορον επι της γης

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth;

4:27

και καθευδη και εγειρηται νυκτα και ημεραν και ο σπορος βλαστα και μηκυνηται ως ουκ οιδεν αυτος

and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how.

4:28

αυτοματη η γη καρποφορει πρωτον χορτον ειτα σταχυν ειτα πληρης σιτον εν τω σταχυι

The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

4:29

οταν δε παραδοι ο καρπος ευθυς αποστελλει το δρεπανον οτι παρεστηκεν ο θερισμος

But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come.

4:30

Και ελεγεν Πως ομοιωσωμεν την βασιλειαν του Θεου η εν τινι αυτην παραβολη θωμεν

And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth?

4:31

ως κοκκω σιναπεως ος οταν σπαρη επι της γης μικροτερον ον παντων των σπερματων των επι της γης

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth,

4:32

και οταν σπαρη αναβαινει και γινεται μειζον παντων των λαχανων και ποιει κλαδους μεγαλους ωστε δυνασθαι υπο την σκιαν αυτου τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατασκηνουν

yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof.

4:33

Και τοιαυταις παραβολαις πολλαις ελαλει αυτοις τον λογον καθως ηδυναντο ακουειν

And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it;

4:34

χωρις δε παραβολης ουκ ελαλει αυτοις κατ ιδιαν δε τοις ιδιοις μαθηταις επελυεν παντα

and without a parable spake he not unto them: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things.

4:35

Και λεγει αυτοις εν εκεινη τη ημερα οψιας γενομενης Διελθωμεν εις το περαν

And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the other side.

4:36

και αφεντες τον οχλον παραλαμβανουσιν αυτον ως ην εν τω πλοιω και αλλα πλοια ην μετ αυτου

And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.

4:37

Και γινεται λαιλαψ μεγαλη ανεμου και τα κυματα επεβαλλεν εις το πλοιον ωστε ηδη γεμιζεσθαι το πλοιον

And there ariseth a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat was now filling.

4:38

και αυτος ην εν τη πρυμνη επι το προσκεφαλαιον καθευδων και εγειρουσιν αυτον και λεγουσιν αυτω Διδασκαλε ου μελει σοι οτι απολλυμεθα

And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion: and they awake him, and say unto him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish?

4:39

Και διεγερθεις επετιμησεν τω ανεμω και ειπεν τη θαλασση Σιωπα πεφιμωσο και εκοπασεν ο ανεμος και εγενετο γαληνη μεγαλη

And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

4:40

Και ειπεν αυτοις Τι δειλοι εστε ουπω εχετε πιστιν

And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith?

4:41

Και εφοβηθησαν φοβον μεγαν και ελεγον προς αλληλους Τις αρα ουτος εστιν οτι και ο ανεμος και η θαλασσα υπακουει αυτω

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
