21
And he said unto them,
Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not
to be set on a candlestick?
22
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was
any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
23
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
24
And he said unto them,
Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured
to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
25
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and
he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
26
And he said,
So is the kingdom
of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
27
And should sleep, and rise night and day,
and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
28
For the earth bringeth forth fruit
of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29
But when the fruit is
brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30
And he said,
Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall
we compare it?
31
It is
like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than
all the seeds that be in the earth:
32
But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than
all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow
of it.
33
And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear
it.
34
But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things
to his disciples.
35
And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them,
Let us pass
over unto the other side.
36
And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he
was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37
And there arose a great storm of
wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38
And he was in the hinder part of
the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that
we perish?
39
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea,
Peace, be still.
And the
wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40
And he said unto them,
Why are ye so fearful? how is
it that ye have no faith?
41
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of
man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
CHAPTER 5
And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2
And when
he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean
spirit,
3
Who had
his
dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
4
Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked
asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any
man

5
And always,
night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
6
But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
7
And cried with a loud voice, and
said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus,
thou
Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that
thou torment me not.
8
For he said unto him,
Come out of the man,
thou
unclean spirit.
