4:24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear1: with what measure ye mete it shall be measured unto you; and more shall be given unto you2.
4:25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath1.
4:26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth1;
4:27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how1.
4:28 The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear1.
4:29 But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle1, because the harvest is come.
4:30 And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth?
4:31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth,
4:32 yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs1, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof.
4:33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it1;
4:34 and without a parable spake he not unto them1: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things.
4:35 And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the other side.
4:36 And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was1, in the boat. And other boats were with him2.
4:37 And there ariseth a great storm of wind1, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat was now filling.
4:38 And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion1: and they awake him, and say unto him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish2?
4:39 And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still1. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm2.
4:40 And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith?
4:41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him1?
