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
hear
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.
on good soil,
hear the word,
accept it,
and produce a crop--
thirty, sixty or even a hundred times
what was sown."
He said
"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
to be brought out
into the open.
If anyone has ears
to 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
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
to the waves,
"Quiet! Be still!"
Then the wind died down
and it was completely calm.
"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!"
