- 1. And he began agayne to teache by the sea syde: And ther gathered vnto hym much people, so greatly, that he entred into a shippe, and sate in the sea: and all the people was by the sea syde on the shore:
- 2. And he taught them many thinges by parables, and sayde vnto them in his doctrine.
- 3. Hearken: Beholde, there went out a sower to sowe:
- 4. And it fortuned as he sowed, that some fell by the way syde, and the fowles of the ayre came, and deuoured it vp.
- 5. Some fell on stonie grounde, where it had not muche earth: and immediatly sprange vp, because it had not deapth of earth.
- 6. But assoone as the sonne was vp, it caught heate: and because it hadde not roote, it wythered away.
- 7. And some fell among thornes: and the thornes grewe vp, and choked it, and it gaue no fruite.
- 8. And some fell vpon good grounde, and dyd yelde fruite, that sprang vp, and grewe, and brought foorth, some thirtie folde, and some sixtie folde, and some an hundred folde.
- 9. And he saide vnto them: He that hath eares to heare, let hym heare.
- 10. And when he was alone, they that were about hym, with the twelue, asked of hym the parable.
- 11. And he sayde vnto them: To you it is geuen to knowe the misterie of the kingdome of God: But vnto them that are without, all thynges are done by parables,
- 12. That when they see, they may see and not discerne: and whe they heare, they may heare and not vnderstande, lest at any tyme, they shoulde turne, and their sinnes shoulde be forgeuen them.
- 13. And he sayde vnto them: Knowe ye not this parable? And howe then wyll ye knowe all other parables?
- 14. The sower, soweth the worde.
- 15. And they [that receaued seede] by the way side, are those where the worde is sowe: but when they haue hearde, Satan cometh immediatly, and taketh away the word that was sowen in their heartes.
- 16. And lykewyse they that receaue seede into the stonie grounde, are they, which when they haue hearde the worde, at once receaue it with gladnesse.
- 17. Yet haue no roote in them selues, and so endure but a tyme: and anone when trouble and persecution aryseth for the wordes sake, immediatlye they are offended.
- 18. And those be they that receaue seede among thornes: and those [I saye] are such as heare the worde,
- 19. And the cares of this worlde, and the deceytfulnesse of ryches, and the lustes of other thynges enter in, and choke the worde, and it is made vnfruitefull.
- 20. And they whiche receaue seede into good grounde, are suche as heare the worde, and receaue it, so that one corne doth bryng foorth thirtie, some sixtie, some an hundred.
- 21. And he saide vnto them: Is the candle lyghted to be put vnder a busshell, or vnder the table? And not to be put on a candelsticke?

- 24. And he sayde vnto them, take heede what ye heare: With what measure ye meate, with the same shall it be measured to you agayne. And vnto you that heare, shall more be geuen.
- 25. For vnto hym that hath, shall it be geuen: and from hym that hath not, shalbe taken away, euen that which he hath.
- 26. And he sayde, so is the kyngdome of God: euen as yf a man shoulde sowe seede in the grounde,
- 27. And shoulde slepe, and ryse vp nyght and day, and the seede shoulde spryng & growe vp, he knoweth not howe.
- 28. For the earth bringeth foorth fruite of her selfe, first the blade, then the eare, after that, the full corne in the eare.
- 29. But when the fruite is brought foorth, anone he thrusteth in the sickle, because the haruest is come.
- 30. And he sayde: Wherevnto shall we lyken the kyngdome of God? Or with what comparyson shall we compare it?

- 37. And there arose a great storme of wynde, and the waues dasshed into the shippe, so that it was nowe full.
- 38. And he was in the sterne a slepe on a pelowe. And they awaked hym, and sayde vnto hym: Maister, carest thou not that we peryshe?
- 39. And he arose, and rebuked the wynde, and saide vnto the sea, peace and be styll. And the wynde ceassed, & there folowed a great calme.
- 40. And he sayde vnto them: why are ye so fearefull? Howe is it, that ye haue no fayth?
- 41. And they feared exceadyngly, and sayde one to another: Who is this? For both wynde and sea obey hym.
