And when he had said these things, he <​3/​> cried, He who hath ears to hear, let him hear. <​3/​> And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? And he saith <​said;​> Unto you it is given to know the misteries of the kingdom of God; but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing, they mig<​4/​>ht not understand. <​4/​> Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. those <​That which fell​> by the way side are those <​they​> who hear; then cometh <​and​> the Devil <​cometh​> and taketh <​away​> the word out of their hearts, lest they should beleive and be saved. they <​That which fell​> on the rock rock, are they who, when they hear, receve the word with joy; an <​and​> but they have no root, but for a while believe, and in a time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they, <​who,​> when they have heard, go forth and are cholked <​choked​> with cares, and riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

And it was told him of <​some​> some of them who stood by, saying <​said unto him,​> They <​They​> Mother and thy breatheren stand without, desiring to see thee. And he answered and said unto them, My Mother and my breatheren <​7/​> are those who hear the word of God, and do it. <​7/​> Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples; and he said unto them, Let us go over <​un​>to the other side of the Lake. And the <​they​> launched forth. But as they sailed he fell asleep; and there came down a storm of wind on the Lake; and they were filled with fear, and were in danger. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying; Master, Master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the watter; and they ceased, and there was a calm.
