1 And again he began to teach by the sea. And a great crowd was gathered together to him, so that going on board ship he sat in the sea, and all the crowd were close to the sea on the land.
2 And he taught them many things in parables. And he said to them in his doctrine,
3 Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow.
4 And it came to pass as he sowed, one fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 And another fell on the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprung up out {of the ground} because it had no depth of earth;
6 and when the sun arose it was burnt up, and because of its not having any root, it withered.
7 And another fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 And another fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and bore, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.
9 And he said, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
10 And when he was alone, those about him with the twelve asked him {as to} the parables.
11 And he said to them, To you is given {to know} the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them who are without, all things are done in parables,
12 that beholding they may behold and not see, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest it may be, they should be converted and they should be forgiven.
13 And he says to them, Do ye not know this parable? and how will ye be acquainted with all the parables?
14 The sower sows the word:
15 and these are they by the wayside where the word is sown, and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
16 And these are they in like manner who are sown upon the rocky places, who when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy,
17 and they have no root in themselves, but are for a time: then, tribulation arising, or persecution on account of the word, immediately they are offended.
18 And others are they who are sown among the thorns: these are they who have heard the word,
19 and the cares of life, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
20 And these are they who have been sown on the good ground, such as hear the word and receive it, and bear fruit; one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred {fold}.
21 And he said to them, Does the lamp come that it should be put under the bushel or under the couch? {Is it} not that it should be set upon the lamp-stand?
22 For there is nothing hidden which shall not be made manifest; nor does any secret thing take place, but that it should come to light.
23 If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.
24 And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear; with what measure ye mete, it shall be meted to you; and there shall be {more} added to you.
25 For whosoever has, to him shall be given; and he who has not, even what he has shall be taken from him.
26 And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast the seed upon the earth,
27 and should sleep and rise up night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he does not know how.
28 The earth bears fruit of itself, first {the} blade, then an ear, then full corn in the ear.
29 But when the fruit is produced, immediately he sends the sickle, for the harvest is come.
30 And he said, How should we liken the kingdom of God, or with what comparison should we compare it?
31 As to a grain of mustard {seed}, which, when it is sown upon the earth, is less than all seeds which are upon the earth,
32 and when it has been sown, mounts up and becomes greater than all herbs, and produces great branches, so that the birds of heaven can roost under its shadow.
33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear,
34 but without a parable spoke he not to them; and in private he explained all things to his disciples.
35 And on that day, when evening was come, he says to them, Let us go over to the other side:
36 and having sent away the crowd, they take him with {them}, as he was, in the ship. But other ships also were with him.
37 And there comes a violent gust of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it already filled.
38 And *he* was in the stern sleeping on the cushion. And they awake him up and say to him, Teacher, dost thou not care that we are perishing?
39 And awaking up he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Silence; be mute. And the wind fell, and there was a great calm.
40 And he said to them, Why are ye {thus} fearful? how {is it} ye have not faith? () And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared {with} great fear, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
1 예수께서 다시 바닷가에서 가르치시니 큰 무리가 모여 들거늘 예수께서 배에 올라 바다에 떠 앉으시고 온 무리는 바다 곁 육지에 있더라
2 이에 예수께서 여러 가지를 비유로 가르치시니 그 가르치시는 중에 저희에게 이르시되
3 `들으라 씨를 뿌리는 자가 뿌리러 나가서
4 뿌릴새 더러는 길 가에 떨어지매 새들이 와서 먹어 버렸고
5 더러는 흙이 얇은 돌밭에 떨어지매 흙이 깊지 아니하므로 곧 싹이 나오나
6 해가 돋은 후에 터져서 뿌리가 없으므로 말랐고
7 더러는 가시떨기에 떨어지매 가시가 자라 기운을 막으므로 결실치 못하였고
8 더러는 좋은 땅에 떨어지매 자라 무성하여 결실하였으니 삼십배와 육십배와 백배가 되었느니라' 하시고
9 또 이르시되 `들을 귀 있는 자는 들으라' 하시니라
10 예수께서 홀로 계실 때에 함께한 사람들이 열 두 제자로 더불어 그 비유를 묻자오니
11 이르시되 `하나님 나라의 비밀을 너희에게는 주었으나 외인에게는 모든 것을 비유로 하나니
12 이는 저희로 보기는 보아도 알지 못하며 듣기는 들어도 깨닫지 못하게 하여 돌이켜 죄 사함을 얻지 못하게 하여 함이니라' 하시고
13 또 가라사대 `너희가 이 비유를 알지 못할진대 어떻게 모든 비유를 알겠느뇨?
14 뿌리는 자는 말씀을 뿌리는 것이다
15 말씀이 길가에 뿌리웠다는 것은 이들이니 곧 말씀을 들었을 때에 사단이 즉시 와서 저희에게 뿌리운 말씀을 빼앗는 것이요
16 또 이와 같이 돌밭에 뿌리웠다는 것은 이들이니 곧 말씀을 들을 때에 즉시 기쁨으로 받으나
17 그 속에 뿌리가 없어 잠간 견디다가 말씀을 인하여 환난이나 핍박이 일어나는 때에는 곧 넘어지는 자요
18 또 어떤이는 가시떨기에 뿌리우는 자니 이들은 말씀을 듣되
19 세상의 염려와 재리의 유혹과 기타 욕심이 들어와 말씀을 막아 결실치 못하게 되는 자요
20 좋은 땅에 뿌리웠다는 것은 곧 말씀을 듣고 받아 삼십배와 육십배와 백배의 결실을 하는 자니라'
21 또 저희에게 이르시되 `사람이 등불을 가져오는 것은 말 아래나 평상 아래나 두려함이냐 등경 위에 두려함이 아니냐
22 드러내려 하지 않고는 숨긴 것이 없고 나타내려 하지 않고는 감추인 것이 없느니라
23 들을 귀 있는 자는 들으라'
24 또 가라사대 `너희가 무엇을 듣는가 스스로 삼가라 너희의 헤아리는 그 헤아림으로 너희가 헤아림을 받을것이요 또 더 받으리니
25 있는자는 받을것이요 없는 자는 그 있는 것까지 빼앗기리라'
26 또 가라사대 `하나님의 나라는 사람이 씨를 땅에 뿌림과 같으니
27 저가 밤낮 자고 깨고 하는 중에 씨가 나서 자라되 그 어떻게 된 것을 알지 못하느니라
28 땅이 스스로 열매를 맺되 처음에는 싹이요 다음에는 이삭이요 그 다음에는 이삭에 충실한 곡식이라
29 열매가 익으면 곧 낫을 대나니 이는 추수 때가 이르렀음이니라'
30 또 가라사대 `우리가 하나님의 나라를 어떻게 비하며 또 무슨 비유로 나타낼꼬
31 겨자씨 한 알과 같으니 땅에 심길 때에는 땅 위의 모든 씨보다 작은 것이로되
32 심긴 후에는 자라서 모든 나물보다 커지며 큰 가지를 내니 공중의 새들이 그 그늘에 깃들일 만큼 되느니라'
33 예수께서 이러한 많은 비유로 저희가 알아 들을 수 있는대로 말씀을 가르치시되
34 비유가 아니면 말씀하지 아니 하시고 다만 혼자 계실 때에 그 제자들에게 모든것을 해석하시더라
35 그날 저물 때에 제자들에게 이르시되 `우리가 저편으로 건너가자' 하시니
36 저희가 무리를 떠나 예수를 배에 계신 그대로 모시고 가매 다른 배들도 함께 하더니
37 큰 광풍이 일어나며 물결이 부딪혀 배에 들어와 배에 가득하게 되었더라
38 예수께서는 고물에서 베개를 베시고 주무시더니 제자들이 깨우며 가로되 `선생님이여 우리의 죽게 된것을 돌아보지 아니하시나이까 ?' 하니
39 예수께서 깨어 바람을 꾸짖으시며 바다더러 이르시되 `잠잠하라 ! 고요하라 !' 하시니 바람이 그치고 아주 잔잔하여지더라
40 이에 제자들에게 이르시되 `어찌하여 이렇게 무서워하느냐 ? 너희가 어찌 믿음이 없느냐 ?' 하시니
41 저희가 심히 두려워하여 서로 말하되 `저가 뉘기에 바람과 바다라도 순종하는고' 하였더라
