 # Chapter 4
-1. Again he began to teach by the sea, and a very large crowd gathered around him. So he got into a boat on the sea and sat down, while the whole crowd was by the sea on the shore.
-2. He taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them,
-3. *"Listen! Consider the sower who went out to sow.*
-4. *As he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.*
-5. *Other seed fell on rocky ground where it didn't have much soil, and it grew up quickly, since the soil wasn't deep.*
-6. *When the sun came up, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away.*
-7. *Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it didn't produce fruit.*
-8. *Still other seed fell on good ground and it grew up, producing fruit that increased thirty, sixty, and a hundred times."*
-9. Then he said, *"Let anyone who has ears to hear listen."*
-Why Jesus Used Parables
-
-
-10. When he was alone, those around him with the Twelve asked him about the parables.
-11. He answered them, *"The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those outside, everything comes in parables*
-12. *so that*
-*<b class="quote">they may indeed look,***

-The Parable of the Sower Explained
-
-
-13. Then he said to them, *"Don't you understand this parable? How then will you understand all of the parables?*
-14. *The sower sows the word.*
-15. *Some are like the word sown on the path. When they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word sown in them.*
-16. *And others are like seed sown on rocky ground. When they hear the word, immediately they receive it with joy.*
-17. *But they have no root; they are short-lived. When distress or persecution comes because of the word, they immediately fall away.*
-18. *Others are like seed sown among thorns; these are the ones who hear the word,*
-19. *but the worries of this age, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.*
-20. *And those like seed sown on good ground hear the word, welcome it, and produce fruit thirty, sixty, and a hundred times what was sown."*
-Using Your Light
-
-
-21. He also said to them, *"Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn't it to be put on a lampstand?*
-22. *For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.*
-23. *If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen."*
-24. And he said to them, *"Pay attention to what you hear. By the measure you use, it will be measured to you--and more will be added to you.*
-25. *For whoever has, more will be given to him, and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him."*The 
-Parable of the Growing Seed
-
-
-26. *"The kingdom of God is like this," he said. "A man scatters seed on the ground.*
-27. *He sleeps and rises night and day; the seed sprouts and grows, although he doesn't know how.*
-28. *The soil produces a crop by itself--first the blade, then the head, and then the full grain on the head.*
-29. *As soon as the crop is ready, he sends for the sickle, because the harvest has come."*The 
-Parable of the Mustard Seed
-
-
-30. And he said, *"With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use to describe it?*
-31. *It's like a mustard seed that, when sown upon the soil, is the smallest of all the seeds on the ground.*
-32. *And when sown, it comes up and grows taller than all the garden plants, and produces large branches, so that the birds of the sky can nest in its shade."*
-Using Parables
-
-
-33. He was speaking the word to them with many parables like these, as they were able to understand.
-34. He did not speak to them without a parable. Privately, however, he explained everything to his own disciples.
-
-Wind and Waves Obey Jesus
-
-
-35. On that day, when evening had come, he told them, *"Let's cross over to the other side of the sea."*
-36. So they left the crowd and took him along since he was in the boat. And other boats were with him.
-37. A great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped.
-38. He was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke him up and said to him, "Teacher! Don't you care that we're going to die?"
-
-39. He got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, *"Silence! Be still!"* The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
-40. Then he said to them, *"Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?"*
-
-41. And they were terrified and asked one another, "Who then is this? Even the wind and the sea obey him!"
