The Parable of the Sower
|
||||
|
||||
# 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,***
|
||||
*<b class="quote">and yet not perceive;***
|
||||
*<b class="quote">they may indeed listen,***
|
||||
*<b class="quote">and yet not understand;***
|
||||
*<b class="quote">
|
||||
otherwise, they might turn back***
|
||||
*<b class="quote">and be forgiven."***
|
||||
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!"
