[3중급] 마가복음 4장  

Again Jesus began

to teach

by the lake.

 

The crowd

that gathered around him

was so large

that he got

into a boat

and sat

in it out

on the lake,

while all the people were along

the shore

at the water's edge.

 

He taught

them many things

by parables,

and in his teaching said:

 

"Listen!

A farmer went out

to sow

his seed.

 

As he was scattering

the seed,

some fell along the path,

and the birds came

and ate

it up.

 

Some fell

on rocky places,

where it did not have much soil.

 

It sprang up quickly,

because the soil was shallow.

But when the sun came up,

the plants were scorched,

and they withered

because they had no root.

 

Other seed fell among thorns,

which grew up and choked

the plants,

so that they did not bear

grain.

 

Still other seed fell

on good soil.

 

It came up,

grew and produced a crop,

multiplying thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times."

 

Then Jesus said,

"He who has ears to hear,

let him hear."

 

When he was alone,

the Twelve and the others

around him

asked him

about the parables.

He told them,

"The secret of the kingdom of God

has been given

to you.

 

But to those

on the outside everything is said

in parables

so that,

" 'they may be ever seeing

but never perceiving,

and ever hearing

but never understanding;

otherwise they might turn

and be forgiven!'"

 

Then Jesus said

to them,

"Don't you understand

this parable?

How then will you understand

any parable?

 

The farmer sows

the word.

 

Some people are like seed

along the path,

where the word is sown.

 

As soon as they hear

it,

Satan comes and takes away

the word

that was sown

in them.

Others, like seed sown

on rocky places,

hear

the word

and at once receive

it

with joy.

 

But since they have no root,

they last only a short time.

 

When trouble or persecution comes

because of the word,

they quickly fall away.

 

Still others,

like seed sown

among thorns,

hear the word;

 

but the worries of this life,

the deceitfulness of wealth

and the desires

for other things come in

and choke

the word,

making it unfruitful.

 

Others, like seed sown

on good soil,

hear the word,

accept it,

and produce a crop--

thirty, sixty or even a hundred times

what was sown."

 

He said

to them,

"Do you bring

in a lamp

to put it under a bowl

or a bed?

 

Instead, don't you put it

on its stand?

 

For whatever is hidden

is meant

to be disclosed,

and whatever is concealed

is meant

to be brought out

into the open.

 

If anyone has ears

to hear,

let him hear."

 

"Consider carefully

what you hear,"

he continued.

 

"With the measure you use,

it will be measured

to you--

and even more.

 

Whoever has will be given more;

whoever does not have,

even what he has will be taken

from him."

 

He also said,

"This is what the kingdom of God is like.

A man scatters

seed

on the ground.

 

Night and day,

whether he sleeps or gets up,

the seed sprouts and grows,

though he does not know how.

 

All by itself the soil produces grain--

first the stalk,

then the head,

then the full kernel

in the head.

 

As soon as the grain is ripe,

he puts

the sickle

to it,

because the harvest has come."

 

Again he said,

"What shall we say

the kingdom of God is like,

or what parable shall we use

to describe it?

It is like a mustard seed,

which is the smallest seed

you plant

in the ground.

 

Yet when planted,

it grows and becomes

the largest of all garden plants,

with such big branches

that the birds of the air

can perch

in its shade."

 

With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word

to them,

as much as they could understand.

 

He did not say anything

to them

without using a parable.

 

But when he was alone

with his own disciples,

he explained

everything.

 

That day when evening came,

he said

to his disciples,

"Let us go over

to the other side."

 

Leaving the crowd behind,

they took

him along,

just as he was,

in the boat.

 

There were also other boats

with him.

 

A furious squall came up,

and the waves broke

over the boat,

so that it was nearly swamped.

 

Jesus was

in the stern,

sleeping on a cushion.

 

The disciples woke

him

and said

to him,

"Teacher, don't you care if we drown?"

 

He got up,

rebuked

the wind

and said

to the waves,

"Quiet! Be still!"

 

Then the wind died down

and it was completely calm.

 

He said

to his disciples,

"Why are you so afraid?

Do you still have no faith?"

 

They were terrified

and asked

each other,

"Who is this?

Even the wind and the waves obey

him!"
