Mark 4:1-20 Parables | The Sower EN

Lyrics

[Mark Chapter Four]

And he began again
to teach
by the sea side:

and there was gathered
unto him
a great multitude,

so that he entered
into a ship,

and sat
in the sea;

and the whole multitude
was by the sea
on the land. 

And he taught them
many things
by parables,

and said unto them
in his doctrine, 

Hearken;

Behold,
there went out
a sower to sow: 

And it came to pass,
as he sowed,

some fell
by the way side,

and the fowls
of the air came
and devoured it up. 

And some fell
on stony ground,

where it had
not much earth;

and immediately
it sprang up,

because it had
no depth
of earth: 

But when the sun
was up,

it was scorched;

and because it had
no root,

it withered away. 

And some fell
among thorns,

and the thorns
grew up,

and choked it,

and it yielded
no fruit. 

And other fell
on good ground,

and did yield fruit
that sprang up
and increased;

and brought forth,

some thirty,
and some sixty,
and some an hundred. 

And he said
unto them,

He that hath ears
to hear,
let him hear. 

And he said
unto them,

Know ye not
this parable?

and how then
will ye know
all parables? 

The sower
soweth the word. 

And these are they
by the way side,

where the word
is sown;

but when they
have heard,

Satan cometh
immediately,

and taketh away
the word

that was sown
in their hearts. 

And these are they
likewise which are sown
on stony ground;

who, when they
have heard the word,

immediately
receive it
with gladness; 

And have no root
in themselves,

and so endure
but for a time:

afterward,

when affliction
or persecution
ariseth
for the word’s sake,

immediately
they are offended. 

And these are they
which are sown
among thorns;

such as hear
the word, 

And the cares
of this world,

and the deceitfulness
of riches,

and the lusts
of other things
entering in,

choke the word,

and it becometh
unfruitful. 

And these are they
which are sown
on good ground;

such as hear
the word,

and receive it,

and bring forth fruit,

some thirtyfold,
some sixty,
and some an hundred.
