Mark 4

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 And again, he began to teach by the sea. And a great crowd was gathered to him, so much so that, climbing into a boat, he was seated on the sea. And the entire crowd was on the land along the sea.	1 Και παλιν ηρχισε να διδασκη πλησιον της θαλασσης? και συνηχθη προς αυτον οχλος πολυς, ωστε εισελθων εις το πλοιον εκαθητο εις την θαλασσαν? και πας ο οχλος ητο επι της γης πλησιον της θαλασσης.
2 And he taught them many things in parables, and he said to them, in his doctrine:	2 Και εδιδασκεν αυτους δια παραβολων πολλα, και ελεγε προς αυτους εν τη διδαχη αυτου?
3 “Listen. Behold, the sower went out to sow.	3 Ακουετε? ιδου, εξηλθεν ο σπειρων δια να σπειρη.
4 And while he was sowing, some fell along the way, and the birds of the air came and ate it.	4 Και ενω εσπειρεν, αλλο μεν επεσε παρα την οδον, και ηλθον τα πετεινα του ουρανου και κατεφαγον αυτο.
5 Yet truly, others fell upon stony ground, where it did not have much soil. And it rose up quickly, because it had no depth of soil.	5 Αλλο δε επεσεν επι το πετρωδες, οπου δεν ειχε γην πολλην, και ευθυς ανεφυη, διοτι δεν ειχε βαθος γης,
6 And when the sun was risen, it was scorched. And because it had no root, it withered away.	6 και οτε ανετειλεν ο ηλιος εκαυματισθη, και επειδη δεν ειχε ριζαν εξηρανθη.
7 And some fell among thorns. And the thorns grew up and suffocated it, and it did not produce fruit.	7 Και αλλο επεσεν εις τας ακανθας, και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και συνεπνιξαν αυτο, και καρπον δεν εδωκε?
8 And some fell on good soil. And it brought forth fruit that grew up, and increased, and yielded: some thirty, some sixty, and some one hundred.”	8 και αλλο επεσεν εις την γην την καλην και εδιδε καρπον αναβαινοντα και αυξανοντα, και εδωκεν εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον.
9 And he said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”	9 Και ελεγε προς αυτους? Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη, ας ακουη.
10 And when he was alone, the twelve, who were with him, questioned him about the parable.	10 Οτε δε εμεινε καταμονας, ηρωτησαν αυτον οι περι αυτον μετα των δωδεκα περι της παραβολης.
11 And he said to them: “To you, it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to those who are outside, everything is presented in parables:	11 Και ελεγε προς αυτους? Εις εσας εδοθη να γνωρισητε το μυστηριον της βασιλειας του Θεου? εις εκεινους δε τους εξω δια παραβολων τα παντα γινονται,
12 ‘so that, seeing, they may see, and not perceive; and hearing, they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they may be converted, and their sins would be forgiven them.’ ”	12 δια να βλεπωσι βλεποντες και να μη ιδωσι, και να ακουωσιν ακουοντες και να μη νοησωσι, μηποτε επιστρεψωσι και συγχωρηθωσιν εις αυτους τα αμαρτηματα.
13 And he said to them: “Do you not understand this parable? And so, how will you understand all the parables?	13 Και λεγει προς αυτους? Δεν εξευρετε την παραβολην ταυτην, και πως θελετε γνωρισει πασας τας παραβολας;
14 He who sows, sows the word.	14 Ο σπειρων τον λογον σπειρει.
15 Now there are those who are along the way, where the word is sown. And when they have heard it, Satan quickly comes and takes away the word, which was sown in their hearts.	15 Οι δε παρα την οδον ειναι ουτοι, εις τους οποιους σπειρεται ο λογος, και οταν ακουσωσιν, ευθυς ερχεται ο Σατανας, και αφαιρει τον λογον τον εσπαρμενον εν ταις καρδιαις αυτων.
16 And similarly, there are those who were sown upon stony ground. These, when they have heard the word, immediately accept it with gladness.	16 Και ομοιως οι επι τα πετρωδη σπειρομενοι ειναι ουτοι, οιτινες οταν ακουσωσι τον λογον, ευθυς μετα χαρας δεχονται αυτον,
17 But they have no root in themselves, and so they are for a limited time. And when next tribulation and persecution arises because of the word, they quickly fall away.	17 δεν εχουσιν ομως ριζαν εν εαυτοις, αλλ' ειναι προσκαιροι? επειτα οταν γεινη θλιψις η διωγμος δια τον λογον, ευθυς σκανδαλιζονται.
18 And there are others who are sown among thorns. These are those who hear the word,	18 Και οι εις τας ακανθας σπειρομενοι ειναι ουτοι, οιτινες ακουουσι τον λογον,
19 but worldly tasks, and the deception of riches, and desires about other things enter in and suffocate the word, and it is effectively without fruit.	19 και αι μεριμναι του αιωνος τουτου και η απατη του πλουτου και αι επιθυμιαι των αλλων πραγματων εισερχομεναι συμπνιγουσι τον λογον, και γινεται ακαρπος.
20 And there are those who are sown upon good soil, who hear the word and accept it; and these bear fruit: some thirty, some sixty, and some one hundred.”	20 Και οι εις την γην την καλην σπαρεντες ειναι ουτοι, οιτινες ακουουσι τον λογον και παραδεχονται και καρποφορουσιν εν τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον.
21 And he said to them: “Would someone enter with a lamp in order to place it under a basket or under a bed? Would it not be placed upon a lampstand?	21 Και ελεγε προς αυτους? Μηπως ο λυχνος ερχεται δια να τεθη υπο τον μοδιον η υπο την κλινην; ουχι δια να τεθη επι τον λυχνοστατην;
22 For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed. Neither was anything done in secret, except that it may be made public.	22 διοτι δεν ειναι τι κρυπτον, το οποιον δεν θελει φανερωθη, ουδ' εγεινε τι αποκρυφον, το οποιον δεν θελει ελθει εις το φανερον.
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”	23 Οστις εχει ωτα δια να ακουη, ας ακουη.
24 And he said to them: “Consider what you hear. With whatever measure you have measured out, it shall be measured back to you, and more shall be added to you.	24 Και ελεγε προς αυτους? Προσεχετε τι ακουετε. Με οποιον μετρον μετρειτε, θελει μετρηθη εις εσας, και θελει γεινει προσθηκη εις εσας τους ακουοντας.
25 For whoever has, to him it shall be given. And whoever has not, from him even what he has shall be taken away.”	25 Διοτι οστις εχει, θελει δοθη εις αυτον? και οστις δεν εχει, και εκεινο το οποιον εχει θελει αφαιρεθη απ' αυτου.
26 And he said: “The kingdom of God is like this: it is as if a man were to cast seed on the land.	26 Και ελεγεν? Ουτως ειναι η βασιλεια του Θεου, ως εαν ανθρωπος ριψη τον σπορον επι της γης,
27 And he sleeps and he arises, night and day. And the seed germinates and grows, though he does not know it.	27 και κοιμαται και σηκονηται νυκτα και ημεραν, και ο σπορος βλαστανη και αυξανη καθως αυτος δεν εξευρει.
28 For the earth bears fruit readily: first the plant, then the ear, next the full grain in the ear.	28 Διοτι αφ' εαυτης η γη καρποφορει, πρωτον χορτον, επειτα ασταχυον, επειτα πληρη σιτον εν τω ασταχυω.
29 And when the fruit has been produced, immediately he sends out the sickle, because the harvest has arrived.”	29 Οταν δε ωριμαση ο καρπος, ευθυς αποστελλει το δρεπανον, διοτι ηλθεν ο θερισμος.
30 And he said: “To what should we compare the kingdom of God? Or to what parable should we compare it?	30 Ετι ελεγε? Με τι να ομοιωσωμεν την βασιλειαν του Θεου; η με ποιαν παραβολην να παραβαλωμεν αυτην;
31 It is like a grain of mustard seed which, when it has been sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds which are in the earth.	31 Ειναι ομοια με κοκκον σιναπεως, οστις, οταν σπαρη επι της γης, ειναι μικροτερος παντων των σπερματων των επι της γης?
32 And when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all the plants, and it produces great branches, so much so that the birds of the air are able to live under its shadow.”	32 αφου δε σπαρη, αναβαινει και γινεται μεγαλητερος παντων των λαχανων και καμνει κλαδους μεγαλους, ωστε υπο την σκιαν αυτου δυνανται τα πετεινα του ουρανου να κατασκηνωσι.
33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as much as they were able to hear.	33 Και δια τοιουτων πολλων παραβολων ελαλει προς αυτους τον λογον, καθως ηδυναντο να ακουωσι,
34 But he did not speak to them without a parable. Yet separately, he explained all things to his disciples.	34 χωρις δε παραβολης δεν ελαλει προς αυτους? κατ ιδιαν ομως εξηγει παντα εις τους μαθητας αυτου.
35 And on that day, when evening had arrived, he said to them, “Let us cross over.”	35 Και λεγει προς αυτους εν εκεινη τη ημερα, οτε εγεινεν εσπερα? Ας διελθωμεν εις το περαν.
36 And dismissing the crowd, they brought him, so that he was in one boat, and other boats were with him.	36 Και αφησαντες τον οχλον, παραλαμβανουσιν αυτον ως ητο εν τω πλοιω και αλλα δε πλοιαρια ησαν μετ' αυτου.
37 And a great wind storm occurred, and the waves broke over the boat, so that the boat was being filled.	37 Και γινεται μεγας ανεμοστροβιλος και τα κυματα εισεβαλλον εις το πλοιον, ωστε αυτο ηδη εγεμιζετο.
38 And he was in the stern of the boat, sleeping on a pillow. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, does it not concern you that we are perishing?”	38 Και αυτος ητο επι της πρυμνης κοιμωμενος επι το προσκεφαλαιον? και εξυπνουσιν αυτον και λεγουσι προς αυτον? Διδασκαλε, δεν σε μελει οτι χανομεθα;
39 And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and he said to the sea: “Silence. Be stilled.” And the wind ceased. And a great tranquility occurred.	39 Και σηκωθεις επετιμησε τον ανεμον και ειπε προς την θαλασσαν? Σιωπα, ησυχασον. Και επαυσεν ο ανεμος, και εγεινε γαληνη μεγαλη.
40 And he said to them: “Why are you afraid? Do you still lack faith?” And they were struck with a great fear. And they said to one another, “Who do you think this is, that both wind and sea obey him?”	40 Και ειπε προς αυτους? Δια τι εισθε ουτω δειλοι; πως δεν εχετε πιστιν;
	41 Και εφοβηθησαν φοβον μεγαν και ελεγον προς αλληλους? Τις λοιπον ειναι ουτος, οτι και ο ανεμος και η θαλασσα υπακουουσιν εις αυτον;
