And as he was sowing, some fell on the highway and was trampled under foot, and the birds of the air devoured it. ⁶ And some fell on rocky ground, and having sprung up, it withered for want of moisture. ⁷ And some fell among thorns, and the thorns springing up with it, choaked it. ⁸ And some fell on good ground, and sprang up and yielded increase an hundred fold. Having said this, he cried with a loud voice, Whosoever hath ears to hear, let him hear. ⁹ And when his disciples asked him, saying, What is the meaning of this parable, ¹⁰ he said, To you it is granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, which to others are couched under parables, so that they see and do not see, and they hear and do not understand. ¹¹ Now this is the meaning of the parable. The seed is the word of God. ¹² By the highway, are meant those hearers out of whose hearts the devil coming, taketh away the word, that they may not believe and be saved. ¹³ By the rocky ground are meant those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy; but not having it rooted in them, they are but temporary believers, and in time of trial apostatise. ¹⁴ The ground overrun with thorns denoteth them who hear, and who going away are choaked with cares and riches and the pleasurable enjoyments of life, so that they do not bring fruit to perfection. ¹⁵ But by the good ground are meant they, who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, retain it, and perseveringly bring forth fruit. ¹⁶ Now no one having lighted a lamp covereth it with a vessel or putteth it under a couch; but setteth it on a stand that they who come in may see the light. ¹⁷ For there is nothing obscure which shall not be made clear; nor any thing concealed which shall not be made known and come to light. ¹⁸ Take heed therefore how you hear; for to him who improveth, more shall be given; but from him who improveth not, even what he thinketh he hath, will be taken away. ¹⁹ When his mother and his brethren came to him, and could not get near him by reason of the crowd, ²⁰ and some informed him, saying, Thy mother and thy brethren are standing without, and desire to see thee; ²¹ he in reply, said to them, My mother and mv brethren are they who hear the word of God and do it. ²² One day Jesus having gone on board a vessel with his disciples, said to them, Let us cross over to the other side of the lake. So they set sail. ²³ And as they were sailing he fell asleep; and a storm of wind came down on the lake, and they were filled, and in danger; ²⁴ Whereupon they went near and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we are lost. Upon which he arose and rebuked the wind, and the raging of the water, and they were still; and there was a calm. ²⁵ And he said, to them, Where is your faith? And they being terrified, expressed admiration, saying one to another, Who in reality is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him! ²⁶ And when they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee; ²⁷ just as he was landing he was met by a man of the city who had been long possessed by demons, and who wore no clothes, nor abode in any house, but in the tombs; ²⁸ who upon seeing Jesus, screamed and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, What hast thou to do with me, Jesus son of the Most High God. I beseech thee, torment me not. ²⁹ For he had commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For it had often seized him. And when he was bound with chains and fastened with fetters, bursting the bonds, he was driven by the demon into the wilderness. ³⁰ Then Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion. [For many demons had entered into him] ³¹ and entreated him that he would not command them to go into the abyss. ³² Now there was a herd of many swine there, feeding on the mountain, so they besought him to permit them to enter into the swine. And when he permitted them, ³³ the demons quitting the man, entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down a precipice into the lake, and were drowned. ³⁴ When the swine herds saw what had happened, they fled, and running away, spread the news through the city and the country ³⁵ Upon which the people came out to see what was done. And when they came to Jesus and found the man, out of whom the demons were gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right senses, they were terrified. ³⁶ And upon being informed by the spectators how the demoniac had been cured, ³⁷ all the people of the neighbouring country of the Gadarenes entreated him to depart from them. Because they were struck with great terror, he therefore going on board the vessel, set out on his return. ³⁸ Now the man, out of whom the demons had gone, begged to be with him. But Jesus dismissed him, saying, ³⁹ Return to thy house, and tell what God hath done for thee. So he returned, and published through the whole city all that Jesus had done for him. ⁴⁰ And when Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. ⁴¹ And behold there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue, who prostrating himself at the feet of Jesus, besought him to go to his house; ⁴² because he had a daughter, an only child, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he was going, the people crowded him; ⁴³ and a woman, who had been twelve years afflicted with an issue of blood, and who had spent all her living on physicians, none of whom could cure her, ⁴⁴ came behind and touched the tuft of his mantle; and instantly her issue of blood was staunched. ⁴⁵ Thereupon Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied, Peter and they who were with him, said; Master, the crowds are thronging and pressing thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me? ⁴⁶ But Jesus said, Some one hath touched me, for I perceived a power going forth from me. ⁴⁷ And when the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling, and prostrating herself before him, told him in the presence of all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and how she was cured instantly. ⁴⁸ Whereupon he said to her, Daughter, take courage; thy faith hath cured thee. Go in peace. ⁴⁹ And while he was yet speaking, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, and saith to him, Thy daughter is dead. Trouble not the teacher. ⁵⁰ Upon hearing this, Jesus, addressed him, saying, Be not afraid. Only believe; and she will recover. ⁵¹ And when he entered the house, he permitted none to go .in, but Peter and James and John, and the father and the mother of the child. ⁵² Now all were weeping and lamenting her. But he said, Weep not. She is not dead; but asleep. ⁵³ Upon which they derided him, knowing that she was dead. ⁵⁴ And when he had put them all out, and taken her by the hand, he called, saying, Maiden, arise. ⁵⁵ Whereupon her breath returned, and she arose immediately. And he ordered some food to be given her. ⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished. And he charged them to tell no one what was done.

⁷ Be not deceived. God is not to be imposed on; for whatever a man soweth, that he shall reap.

²⁹ Moreover God said, "Behold I have given you every seed bearing plant, the sowing seed which is on the whole earth, and every tree which hath in itself the fruit of seminal seed, you shall have for food:
