KJVAnd^G2532 they came over^G2064^(G5627) unto^G1519 the other side^G4008 of the sea^G2281, into^G1519 the country^G5561 of the Gadarenes^G1046.

² When he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he^G846 was come^G1831^(G5631) out of^G1537 the ship^G4143, immediately^G2112 there met^G528^(G5656) him^G846 out of^G1537 the tombs^G3419 a man^G444 with^G1722 an unclean^G169 spirit^G4151,

³ He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains,

KJVWho^G3739 had^G2192^(G5707) his dwelling^G2731 among^G1722 the tombs^G3419; and^G2532 no man^G3762 could^G1410^(G5711) bind^G1210^(G5658) him^G846, no, not^G3777 with chains^G254:

⁴ because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the strength to tame him.

KJVBecause^G1223 that he^G846 had been often^G4178 bound^G1210^(G5771) with fetters^G3976 and^G2532 chains^G254, and^G2532 the chains^G254 had been plucked asunder^G1288^(G5771) by^G5259 him^G846, and^G2532 the fetters^G3976 broken in pieces^G4937^(G5771): neither^G2532 could^G2480^(G5707) any man tame^G1150^(G5658) him^G846^G3762.

⁵ Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.

KJVAnd^G2532 always^G1275, night^G3571 and^G2532 day^G2250, he was^G2258^(G5713) in^G1722 the mountains^G3735, and^G2532 in^G1722 the tombs^G3418, crying^G2896^(G5723), and^G2532 cutting^G2629^(G5723) himself^G1438 with stones^G3037.

⁶ When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,

KJVBut^G1161 when he saw^G1492^(G5631) Jesus^G2424 afar off^G575^G3113, he ran^G5143^(G5627) and^G2532 worshipped^G4352^(G5656) him^G846,

⁷ and crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don’t torment me.”

KJVAnd^G2532 cried^G2896^(G5660) with a loud^G3173 voice^G5456, and said^G2036^(G5627), What^G5101 have I^G1698 to do^G2532 with thee^G4671, Jesus^G2424, thou Son^G5207 of the most high^G5310 God^G2316? I adjure^G3726^(G5719) thee^G4571 by God^G2316, that thou torment^G928^(G5661) me^G3165 not^G3361.

⁸ For he said to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”

KJVFor^G1063 he said^G3004^(G5707) unto him^G846, Come^G1831^(G5628) out of^G1537 the man^G444, thou unclean^G169 spirit^G4151.

⁹ He asked him, “What is your name?” He said to him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”

KJVAnd^G2532 he asked^G1905^(G5707) him^G846, What^G5101 is thy^G4671 name^G3686? And^G2532 he answered^G611^(G5662), saying^G3004^(G5723), My^G3427 name^G3686 is Legion^G3003: for^G3754 we are^G2070^(G5748) many^G4183.

¹⁰ He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

KJVAnd^G2532 he besought^G3870^(G5707) him^G846 much^G4183 that^G3363 he would^G649 not^G3363 send^G649 them^G846 away^G649^(G5661) out of^G1854 the country^G5561.

¹¹ Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.

KJVNow^G1161 there was^G2258^(G5713) there^G1563 nigh^G4314 unto the mountains^G3735 a great^G3173 herd^G34 of swine^G5519 feeding^G1006^(G5746).

¹² All the demons begged him, saying, “Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them.”

KJVAnd^G2532 all^G3956 the devils^G1142 besought^G3870^(G5656) him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Send^G3992^(G5657) us^G2248 into^G1519 the swine^G5519, that^G2443 we may enter^G1525^(G5632) into^G1519 them^G846.

¹³ At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.

KJVAnd^G2532 forthwith^G2112 Jesus^G2424 gave^G2010 them^G846 leave^G2010^(G5656). And^G2532 the unclean^G169 spirits^G4151 went out^G1831^(G5631), and entered^G1525^(G5627) into^G1519 the swine^G5519: and^G2532 the herd^G34 ran^G3729^(G5656) violently down^G2596 a steep place^G2911 into^G1519 the sea^G2281,^G1161(they were^G2258^(G5713) about^G5613 two thousand^G1367;) and^G2532 were choked^G4155^(G5712) in^G1722 the sea^G2281.

¹⁴ Those who fed the pigs fled, and told it in the city and in the country. The people came to see what it was that had happened.

KJVAnd^G1161 they that fed^G1006^(G5723) the swine^G5519 fled^G5343^(G5627), and^G2532 told^G312^(G5656) it in^G1519 the city^G4172, and^G2532 in^G1519 the country^G68. And^G2532 they went out^G1831^(G5627) to see^G1492^(G5629) what^G5101 it was^G2076^(G5748) that was done^G1096^(G5756).

¹⁵ They came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.

KJVAnd^G2532 they come^G2064^(G5736) to^G4314 Jesus^G2424, and^G2532 see^G2334^(G5719) him that was possessed with the devil^G1139^(G5740), and had^G2192^(G5761) the legion^G3003, sitting^G2521^(G5740), and^G2532 clothed^G2439^(G5772), and^G2532 in his right mind^G4993^(G5723): and^G2532 they were afraid^G5399^(G5675).

¹⁶ Those who saw it declared to them what happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.

KJVAnd^G2532 they that saw^G1492^(G5631) it told^G1334^(G5662) them^G846 how^G4459 it befell^G1096^(G5633) to him that was possessed with the devil^G1139^(G5740), and^G2532 also concerning^G4012 the swine^G5519.

¹⁷ They began to beg him to depart from their region.

KJVAnd^G2532 they began^G756^(G5662) to pray^G3870^(G5721) him^G846 to depart^G565^(G5629) out of^G575 their^G846 coasts^G3725.

¹⁸ As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he^G846 was come^G1684^(G5631) into^G1519 the ship^G4143, he that had been possessed with the devil^G1139^(G5679) prayed^G3870^(G5707) him^G846 that^G2443 he might be^G5600^(G5753) with^G3326 him^G846.

¹⁹ He didn’t allow him, but said to him, “Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you and how he had mercy on you.”

KJVHowbeit^G1161 Jesus^G2424 suffered^G863^(G5656) him^G846 not^G3756, but^G235 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Go^G5217^(G5720) home^G1519^G3624^G4675 to^G4314 thy friends^G4674, and^G2532 tell^G312^(G5657) them^G846 how great things^G3745 the Lord^G2962 hath done^G4160^(G5656) for thee^G4671, and^G2532 hath had compassion^G1653^(G5656) on thee^G4571.

²⁰ He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.

KJVAnd^G2532 he departed^G565^(G5627), and^G2532 began^G756^(G5662) to publish^G2784^(G5721) in^G1722 Decapolis^G1179 how great things^G3745 Jesus^G2424 had done^G4160^(G5656) for him^G846: and^G2532 all^G3956 men did marvel^G2296^(G5707).

²¹ When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.

KJVAnd^G2532 when Jesus^G2424 was passed over^G1276^(G5660) again^G3825 by^G1722 ship^G4143 unto^G1519 the other side^G4008, much^G4183 people^G3793 gathered^G4863^(G5681) unto^G1909 him^G846: and^G2532 he was^G2258^(G5713) nigh^G3844 unto the sea^G2281.

²² Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet

KJVAnd^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), there cometh^G2064^(G5736) one^G1520 of the rulers of the synagogue^G752, Jairus^G2383 by name^G3686; and^G2532 when he saw^G1492^(G5631) him^G846, he fell^G4098^(G5719) at^G4314 his^G846 feet^G4228,

²³ and begged him much, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live.”

KJVAnd^G2532 besought^G3870^(G5707) him^G846 greatly^G4183, saying^G3004^(G5723),^G3754 My^G3450 little daughter^G2365 lieth^G2079 at the point of death^G2192^(G5719): I pray thee, come^G2064^(G5631) and^G2443 lay^G2007^(G5632) thy hands^G5495 on her^G846, that^G3704 she may be healed^G4982^(G5686); and^G2532 she shall live^G2198^(G5695).

²⁴ He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus went^G565^(G5627) with^G3326 him^G846; and^G2532 much^G4183 people^G3793 followed^G190^(G5707) him^G846, and^G2532 thronged^G4918^(G5707) him^G846.

²⁵ A certain woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years,

KJVAnd^G2532 a certain^G5100 woman^G1135, which had an^G1722 issue^G4511 of blood^G129^G5607^(G5752) twelve^G1427 years^G2094,

²⁶ and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,

KJVAnd^G2532 had suffered^G3958^(G5631) many things^G4183 of^G5259 many^G4183 physicians^G2395, and^G2532 had spent^G1159^(G5660) all^G3956 that she^G1438 had^G3844, and^G2532 was^G5623 nothing^G3367 bettered^G5623^(G5685), but^G235 rather^G3123 grew^G2064^(G5631) worse^G1519^G5501,

²⁷ having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes.

KJVWhen she had heard^G191^(G5660) of^G4012 Jesus^G2424, came^G2064^(G5631) in^G1722 the press^G3793 behind^G3693, and touched^G680^(G5662) his^G846 garment^G2440.

²⁸ For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.”

KJVFor^G1063 she said^G3004^(G5707), If^G3754^G2579 I may touch^G680^(G5672) but^G2579 his^G846 clothes^G2440, I shall be whole^G4982^(G5701).

KJVAnd^G2532 straightway^G2112 the fountain^G4077 of her^G846 blood^G129 was dried up^G3583^(G5681); and^G2532 she felt^G1097^(G5627) in her body^G4983 that^G3754 she was healed^G2390^(G5769) of^G575 that plague^G3148.

³⁰ Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424, immediately^G2112 knowing^G1921^(G5631) in^G1722 himself^G1438 that virtue^G1411 had gone^G1831^(G5631) out of^G1537 him^G846, turned him about^G1994^(G5651) in^G1722 the press^G3793, and said^G3004^(G5707), Who^G5101 touched^G680^(G5662) my^G3450 clothes^G2440?

³¹ His disciples said to him, “You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”

KJVAnd^G2532 his^G846 disciples^G3101 said^G3004^(G5707) unto him^G846, Thou seest^G991^(G5719) the multitude^G3793 thronging^G4918^(G5723) thee^G4571, and^G2532 sayest thou^G3004^(G5719), Who^G5101 touched^G680^(G5662) me^G3450?

³² He looked around to see her who had done this thing.

KJVAnd^G2532 he looked round about^G4017^(G5710) to see^G1492^(G5629) her that had done^G4160^(G5660) this thing^G5124.

³³ But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

KJVBut^G1161 the woman^G1135 fearing^G5399^(G5679) and^G2532 trembling^G5141^(G5723), knowing^G1492^(G5761) what^G3739 was done^G1096^(G5754) in^G1909 her^G846, came^G2064^(G5627) and^G2532 fell down before^G4363^(G5627) him^G846, and^G2532 told^G2036^(G5627) him^G846 all^G3956 the truth^G225.

³⁴ He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.”

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto her^G846, Daughter^G2364, thy^G4675 faith^G4102 hath made^G4982 thee^G4571 whole^G4982^(G5758); go^G5217^(G5720) in^G1519 peace^G1515, and^G2532 be^G2468^(G5749) whole^G5199 of^G575 thy^G4675 plague^G3148.

³⁵ While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler’s house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?”

KJVWhile^G2089 he^G846 yet^G2089 spake^G2980^(G5723), there came^G2064^(G5736) from^G575 the ruler of the synagogue's^G752 house certain which said^G3004^(G5723),^G3754 Thy^G4675 daughter^G2364 is dead^G599^(G5627): why^G5101 troublest thou^G4660^(G5719) the Master^G1320 any further^G2089?

³⁶ But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Don’t be afraid, only believe.”

KJVAs soon as^G1161^G2112 Jesus^G2424 heard^G191^(G5660) the word^G3056 that was spoken^G2980^(G5746), he saith^G3004^(G5719) unto the ruler of the synagogue^G752, Be^G5399 not^G3361 afraid^G5399^(G5737), only^G3440 believe^G4100^(G5720).

³⁷ He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

KJVAnd^G2532 he suffered^G863^(G5656)^G3756 no man^G3762 to follow^G4870^(G5658) him^G846, save^G1508 Peter^G4074, and^G2532 James^G2385, and^G2532 John^G2491 the brother^G80 of James^G2385.

³⁸ He came to the synagogue ruler’s house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.

KJVAnd^G2532 he cometh^G2064^(G5736) to^G1519 the house^G3624 of the ruler of the synagogue^G752, and^G2532 seeth^G2334^(G5719) the tumult^G2351, and them that wept^G2799^(G5723) and^G2532 wailed^G214^(G5723) greatly^G4183.

³⁹ When he had entered in, he said to them, “Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.”

KJVAnd^G2532 when he was come in^G1525^(G5631), he saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Why^G5101 make ye this ado^G2350^(G5743), and^G2532 weep^G2799^(G5719)? the damsel^G3813 is^G599 not^G3756 dead^G599^(G5627), but^G235 sleepeth^G2518^(G5719).

⁴⁰ They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying.

KJVAnd^G2532 they laughed^G2606 him^G846 to scorn^G2606^(G5707). But^G1161 when he had put^G1544 them all^G537 out^G1544^(G5631), he taketh^G3880^(G5719) the father^G3962 and^G2532 the mother^G3384 of the damsel^G3813, and^G2532 them that were with^G3326 him^G846, and^G2532 entereth in^G1531^(G5736) where^G3699 the damsel^G3813 was^G2258^(G5713) lying^G345^(G5740).

⁴¹ Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha cumi!” which means, being interpreted, “Girl, I tell you, get up!”

KJVAnd^G2532 he took^G2902^(G5660) the damsel^G3813 by the hand^G5495, and said^G3004^(G5719) unto her^G846, Talitha^G5008 cumi^G2891; which^G3739 is^G2076^(G5748), being interpreted^G3177^(G5746), Damsel^G2877, I say^G3004^(G5719) unto thee^G4671, arise^G1453^(G5669).

⁴² Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.

KJVAnd^G2532 straightway^G2112 the damsel^G2877 arose^G450^(G5627), and^G2532 walked^G4043^(G5707); for^G1063 she was^G2258^(G5713) of the age of twelve^G1427 years^G2094. And^G2532 they were astonished^G1839^(G5627) with a great^G3173 astonishment^G1611.

⁴³ He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.

KJVAnd^G2532 he charged^G1291^(G5668) them^G846 straitly^G4183 that^G2443 no man^G3367 should know^G1097^(G5632) it^G5124; and^G2532 commanded^G2036^(G5627) that something should be given^G1325^(G5683) her^G846 to eat^G5315^(G5629).

¹Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.

KJVAnd^G2532 he began^G756^(G5662) again^G3825 to teach^G1321^(G5721) by^G3844 the sea side^G2281: and^G2532 there was gathered^G4863^(G5681) unto^G4314 him^G846 a great^G4183 multitude^G3793, so that^G5620 he^G846 entered^G1684^(G5631) into^G1519 a ship^G4143, and sat^G2521^(G5738) in^G1722 the sea^G2281; and^G2532 the whole^G3956 multitude^G3793 was^G2258^(G5713) by^G4314 the sea^G2281 on^G1909 the land^G1093.

KJVAnd^G2532 he taught^G1321^(G5707) them^G846 many things^G4183 by^G1722 parables^G3850, and^G2532 said^G3004^(G5707) unto them^G846 in^G1722 his^G846 doctrine^G1322,

³ “Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.

KJVHearken^G191^(G5720); Behold^G2400^(G5628), there went out^G1831^(G5627) a sower^G4687^(G5723) to sow^G4687^(G5658):

⁴ As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.

KJVAnd^G2532 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), as^G1722 he sowed^G4687^(G5721), some^G3739^G3303 fell^G4098^(G5627) by^G3844 the way side^G3598, and^G2532 the fowls^G4071 of the air^G3772 came^G2064^(G5627) and^G2532 devoured^G2719 it^G846 up^G2719^(G5627).

⁵ Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.

KJVAnd^G1161 some^G243 fell^G4098^(G5627) on^G1909 stony ground^G4075, where^G3699 it had^G2192^(G5707) not^G3756 much^G4183 earth^G1093; and^G2532 immediately^G2112 it sprang up^G1816^(G5656), because^G1223 it had^G2192^(G5721) no^G3361 depth^G899 of earth^G1093:

⁶ When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

KJVBut^G1161 when^G393 the sun^G2246 was up^G393^(G5660), it was scorched^G2739^(G5681); and^G2532 because^G1223 it had^G2192^(G5721) no^G3361 root^G4491, it withered away^G3583^(G5681).

⁷ Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

KJVAnd^G2532 some^G243 fell^G4098^(G5627) among^G1519 thorns^G173, and^G2532 the thorns^G173 grew up^G305^(G5627), and^G2532 choked^G4846^(G5656) it^G846, and^G2532 it yielded^G1325^(G5656) no^G3756 fruit^G2590.

⁸ Others fell into the good ground and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some produced thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much.”

KJVAnd^G2532 other^G243 fell^G4098^(G5627) on^G1519 good^G2570 ground^G1093, and^G2532 did yield^G1325^(G5707) fruit^G2590 that sprang up^G305^(G5723) and^G2532 increased^G837^(G5723); and^G2532 brought forth^G5342^(G5707), some^G1520 thirty^G5144, and^G2532 some^G1520 sixty^G1835, and^G2532 some^G1520 an hundred^G1540.

⁹ He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G3004^(G5707) unto them^G846, He that hath^G2192^(G5723) ears^G3775 to hear^G191^(G5721), let him hear^G191^(G5720).

¹⁰ When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G3753 he was^G1096^(G5633) alone^G2651, they that were about^G4012 him^G846 with^G4862 the twelve^G1427 asked^G2065^(G5656) of him^G846 the parable^G3850.

¹¹ He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of God’s Kingdom, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G3004^(G5707) unto them^G846, Unto you^G5213 it is given^G1325^(G5769) to know^G1097^(G5629) the mystery^G3466 of the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316: but^G1161 unto them^G1565 that are without^G1854, all these things^G3956 are done^G1096^(G5736) in^G1722 parables^G3850:

¹² that ‘seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sins should be forgiven them.’”

KJVThat^G2443 seeing^G991^(G5723) they may see^G991^(G5725), and^G2532 not^G3361 perceive^G1492^(G5632); and^G2532 hearing^G191^(G5723) they may hear^G191^(G5725), and^G2532 not^G3361 understand^G4920^(G5725); lest at any time^G3379 they should be converted^G1994^(G5661), and^G2532 their sins^G265 should be forgiven^G863^(G5686) them^G846.

¹³ He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Know ye^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756 this^G5026 parable^G3850? and^G2532 how then^G4459 will ye know^G1097^(G5695) all^G3956 parables^G3850?

¹⁴ The farmer sows the word.

KJVThe sower^G4687^(G5723) soweth^G4687^(G5719) the word^G3056.

¹⁵ The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

KJVAnd^G1161 these^G3778 are they^G1526^(G5748) by^G3844 the way side^G3598, where^G3699 the word^G3056 is sown^G4687^(G5743); but^G2532 when^G3752 they have heard^G191^(G5661), Satan^G4567 cometh^G2064^(G5736) immediately^G2112, and^G2532 taketh away^G142^(G5719) the word^G3056 that was sown^G4687^(G5772) in^G1722 their^G846 hearts^G2588.

¹⁶ These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.

KJVAnd^G2532 these^G3778 are they^G1526^(G5748) likewise^G3668 which are sown^G4687^(G5746) on^G1909 stony ground^G4075; who^G3739, when^G3752 they have heard^G191^(G5661) the word^G3056, immediately^G2112 receive^G2983^(G5719) it^G846 with^G3326 gladness^G5479;

¹⁷ They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.

KJVAnd^G2532 have^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 root^G4491 in^G1722 themselves^G1438, and^G235 so endure^G1526^(G5748) but for a time^G4340: afterward^G1534, when affliction^G2347 or^G2228 persecution^G1375 ariseth^G1096^(G5637) for^G1223 the word's sake^G3056, immediately^G2112 they are offended^G4624^(G5743).

¹⁸ Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,

KJVAnd^G2532 these^G3778 are^G1526^(G5748) they which are^G1526^(G5748) sown^G4687^(G5746) among^G1519 thorns^G173; such as^G3778 hear^G191^(G5723) the word^G3056,

¹⁹ and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

KJVAnd^G2532 the cares^G3308 of this^G5127 world^G165, and^G2532 the deceitfulness^G539 of riches^G4149, and^G2532 the lusts^G1939 of^G4012 other things^G3062 entering in^G1531^(G5740), choke^G4846^(G5719) the word^G3056, and^G2532 it becometh^G1096^(G5736) unfruitful^G175.

²⁰ Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”

KJVAnd^G2532 these^G3778 are^G1526^(G5748) they which are sown^G4687^(G5651) on^G1909 good^G2570 ground^G1093; such as^G3748 hear^G191^(G5719) the word^G3056, and^G2532 receive^G3858^(G5736) it, and^G2532 bring forth fruit^G2592^(G5719), some^G1520 thirtyfold^G5144, some^G2532^G1520 sixty^G1835, and^G2532 some^G1520 an hundred^G1540.

²¹ He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn’t it put on a stand?

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G3004^(G5707) unto them^G846, Is^G3385 a candle^G3088 brought^G2064^(G5736) to^G2443 be put^G5087^(G5686) under^G5259 a bushel^G3426, or^G2228 under^G5259 a bed^G2825? and not^G3756 to^G2443 be set^G2007^(G5686) on^G1909 a candlestick^G3087?

²² For there is nothing hidden except that it should be made known, neither was anything made secret but that it should come to light.

KJVFor^G1063 there is^G2076^(G5748) nothing^G3756 hid^G2927^G5100, which^G3739 shall^G5319 not^G3362 be manifested^G5319^(G5686); neither^G3761 was any thing kept^G1096^(G5633) secret^G614, but^G235 that^G2443 it should come^G2064^(G5632) abroad^G1519^G5318.

²³ If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”

KJVIf any man^G1536 have^G2192^(G5719) ears^G3775 to hear^G191^(G5721), let him hear^G191^(G5720).

²⁴ He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you; and more will be given to you who hear.

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G3004^(G5707) unto them^G846, Take heed^G991^(G5720) what^G5101 ye hear^G191^(G5719): with^G1722 what^G3739 measure^G3358 ye mete^G3354^(G5719), it shall be measured^G3354^(G5701) to you^G5213: and^G2532 unto you^G5213 that hear^G191^(G5723) shall more be given^G4369^(G5701).

²⁵ For whoever has, to him more will be given; and he who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.”

KJVFor^G1063^G302 he that^G3739 hath^G2192^(G5725), to him^G846 shall be given^G1325^(G5701): and^G2532 he that^G3739 hath^G2192^(G5719) not^G3756, from^G575 him^G846 shall be taken^G142^(G5701) even^G2532 that which^G3739 he hath^G2192^(G5719).

²⁶ He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G3004^(G5707), So^G3779 is^G2076^(G5748) the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316, as^G5613 if^G1437 a man^G444 should cast^G906^(G5632) seed^G4703 into^G1909 the ground^G1093;

²⁷ and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.

KJVAnd^G2532 should sleep^G2518^(G5725), and^G2532 rise^G1453^(G5747) night^G3571 and^G2532 day^G2250, and^G2532 the seed^G4703 should spring^G985^(G5725) and^G2532 grow up^G3373^(G5747), he^G846 knoweth^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756 how^G5613.

²⁸ For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

KJVFor^G1063 the earth^G1093 bringeth forth fruit^G2592^(G5719) of herself^G844; first^G4412 the blade^G5528, then^G1534 the ear^G4719, after that^G1534 the full^G4134 corn^G4621 in^G1722 the ear^G4719.

²⁹ But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

KJVBut^G1161 when^G3752 the fruit^G2590 is brought forth^G3860^(G5632), immediately^G2112 he putteth in^G649^(G5719) the sickle^G1407, because^G3754 the harvest^G2326 is come^G3936^(G5758).

³⁰ He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G3004^(G5707), Whereunto^G5101 shall we liken^G3666^(G5661) the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316? or^G2228 with^G1722 what^G4169 comparison^G3850 shall we compare^G3846^(G5632) it^G846?

³¹ It’s like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,

KJVIt is like^G5613 a grain^G2848 of mustard seed^G4615, which^G3739, when^G3752 it is sown^G4687^(G5652) in^G1909 the earth^G1093, is less^G3398 than all^G3956 the seeds^G4690 that be^G2076^(G5748) in^G1909 the earth^G1093:

³² yet when it is sown, grows up and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow.”

KJVBut^G2532 when^G3752 it is sown^G4687^(G5652), it groweth up^G305^(G5719), and^G2532 becometh^G1096^(G5736) greater than^G3187 all^G3956 herbs^G3001, and^G2532 shooteth out^G4160^(G5719) great^G3173 branches^G2798; so that^G5620 the fowls^G4071 of the air^G3772 may^G1410^(G5738) lodge^G2681^(G5721) under^G5259 the shadow^G4639 of it^G846.

³³ With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.

KJVAnd^G2532 with many^G4183 such^G5108 parables^G3850 spake he^G2980^(G5707) the word^G3056 unto them^G846, as^G2531 they were able^G1410^(G5711) to hear^G191^(G5721) it.

³⁴ Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

KJVBut^G1161 without^G5565 a parable^G3850 spake^G2980^(G5707) he not^G3756 unto them^G846: and^G1161 when they were alone^G2398^G2596, he expounded^G1956^(G5707) all things^G3956 to his^G846 disciples^G3101.

³⁵ On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”

KJVAnd^G2532 the^G1722 same^G1565 day^G2250, when the even^G3798 was come^G1096^(G5637), he saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Let us pass over^G1330^(G5632) unto^G1519 the other side^G4008.

³⁶ Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.

KJVAnd^G2532 when they had sent away^G863^(G5631) the multitude^G3793, they took^G3880^(G5719) him^G846 even as^G5613 he was^G2258^(G5713) in^G1722 the ship^G4143. And^G1161 there were^G2258^(G5713) also^G2532 with^G3326 him^G846 other^G243 little ships^G4142.

³⁷ A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.

KJVAnd^G2532 there arose^G1096^(G5736) a great^G3173 storm^G2978 of wind^G417, and^G1161 the waves^G2949 beat^G1911^(G5707) into^G1519 the ship^G4143, so that^G5620 it^G846 was^G1072 now^G2235 full^G1072^(G5745).

³⁸ He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and asked him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are dying?”

KJVAnd^G2532 he^G846 was^G2258^(G5713) in^G1909 the hinder part of the ship^G4403, asleep^G2518^(G5723) on^G1909 a pillow^G4344: and^G2532 they awake^G1326^(G5719) him^G846, and^G2532 say^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Master^G1320, carest^G3199^(G5719) thou^G4671 not^G3756 that^G3754 we perish^G622^(G5731)?

³⁹ He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.

KJVAnd^G2532 he arose^G1326^(G5685), and rebuked^G2008^(G5656) the wind^G417, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto the sea^G2281, Peace^G4623^(G5720), be still^G5392^(G5770). And^G2532 the wind^G417 ceased^G2869^(G5656), and^G2532 there was^G1096^(G5633) a great^G3173 calm^G1055.

⁴⁰ He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Why^G5101 are ye^G2075^(G5748) so^G3779 fearful^G1169? how is it^G4459 that ye have^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 faith^G4102?

⁴¹ They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

KJVAnd^G2532 they feared^G5399^(G5675) exceedingly^G5401^G3173, and^G2532 said^G3004^(G5707) one^G240 to^G4314 another^G240, What^G5101 manner of man^G686 is^G2076^(G5748) this^G3778, that^G3754 even^G2532 the wind^G417 and^G2532 the sea^G2281 obey^G5219^(G5719) him^G846?
