4Then, when a very numerous crowd was gathering together and hurrying from the cities to him, he spoke using a comparison:

Mark 4:1, Mark 4:9, Mark 4:1, Mark 4:9, Matthew 13:2

5“The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell beside the way; and it was trampled and the birds of the air devoured it.

Hebrews 2:1, Hebrews 2:1, Mark 4:15, James 1:23, James 1:24

6And some fell upon rock; and having sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

Hebrews 3:7, Hebrews 3:8, Luke 8:13, Hebrews 3:7, Hebrews 3:8

7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns, rising up with it, suffocated it.

stylus

Jeremiah 4:3, Jeremiah 4:3, Luke 8:14, Luke 8:14, Luke 21:34

Matthew 11:15, Matthew 11:15, Revelation 2:11, Revelation 2:11, Revelation 2:7

9Then his disciples questioned him as to what this parable might mean.

stylus

Mark 4:10, Matthew 13:18, Matthew 13:10, Mark 4:10, Matthew 13:18

10And he said to them: “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to the rest, it is in parables, so that: seeing, they may not perceive, and hearing, they may not understand.

stylus

Isaiah 6:9, Isaiah 6:9, Mark 4:11, Mark 4:11, Matthew 11:25

11Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

stylus

Mark 4:14, Mark 4:20, 1 Peter 1:23, 1 Peter 1:25, Matthew 13:19

12And those beside the way are those who hear it, but then the devil comes and takes the word from their heart, lest by believing it they may be saved.

2 Thessalonians 2:9, 2 Thessalonians 2:14, 2 Thessalonians 2:9, 2 Thessalonians 2:14, Mark 4:15

13Now those upon rock are those who, when they hear it, accept the word with joy, but these have no roots. So they believe for a time, but in a time of testing, they fall away.

Hosea 6:4, John 5:35, Hosea 6:4, John 5:35, Proverbs 12:12

14And those which fell among thorns are those who have heard it, but as they go along, they are suffocated by the concerns and riches and pleasures of this life, and so they do not yield fruit.

1 Timothy 6:9, 1 Timothy 6:10, 1 Timothy 6:9, 1 Timothy 6:10, 1 John 2:15

stylus

Matthew 8:23, Matthew 8:27, Matthew 8:23, Matthew 8:27, Mark 4:35

Luke 4:39, Luke 4:39, Luke 5:5, Psalms 107:25, Psalms 107:29

25Then he said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they, being afraid, were amazed, saying to one another, “Who do you think this is, so that he commands both wind and sea, and they obey him?”

stylus

Mark 5:2, Mark 5:5, Mark 5:2, Mark 5:5, 1 Samuel 19:24

stylus

Matthew 8:29, Matthew 8:29, 2 Peter 2:4, 2 Peter 2:4, Isaiah 27:1

29For he was ordering the unclean spirit to depart from the man. For on many occasions, it would seize him, and he was bound with chains and held by fetters. But breaking the chains, he was driven by the demon into deserted places.

Mark 9:20, Mark 9:26, Luke 9:42, 2 Timothy 2:25, 2 Timothy 2:26

stylus

Mark 5:14, Mark 5:14, Acts 19:16, Acts 19:17, Matthew 8:33

35Then they went out to see what was happening, and they came to Jesus. And they found the man, from whom the demons had departed, sitting at his feet, clothed as well as in a sane mind, and they were afraid.

stylus
