Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:3 - "Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:4 - and it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:20 - These are those which were sown on the good ground: such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times."
(Luk 8:16–18 )

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:24 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:25 - For whoever has, to him will more be given, and he who doesn't have, from him will be taken away even that which he has."

Parable of the Seed

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:26 - He said, "The Kingdom of God is as if a man should cast seed on the eretz,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:27 - and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he doesn't know how.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:28 - For the eretz bears fruit: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:32 - 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."

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:38 - He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, don't you care that we are dying?"

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 4:40 - He said to them, "Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?"
