Liknelsen om lantbrukaren som sådde säd
(Matt 13:1-9; Luk 8:4-8)
4 Sedan började Jesus undervisa nere vid sjön igen. Och folkmassan som samlades omkring honom var så stor att han fick stiga i en båt och sitta i den, medan folket stod på stranden. 2 Han undervisade dem genom många liknelser. I sin undervisning sa han:
3 ”Lyssna! En lantbrukare gick ut för att så. 4 När han sådde föll en del av sädeskornen på vägen bredvid, och fåglarna kom och åt upp dem. 5 En del korn föll där marken var stenig och jordlagret tunt. De växte snabbt upp i den tunna myllan, 6 men när solen steg vissnade de bort, eftersom de saknade rot. 7 Andra föll bland tistlarna, och när tistlarna växte upp kvävdes de, så att de inte gav någon skörd. 8 Men en del korn föll i bördig jord och växte upp och gav skörd, trettio, sextio och till och med hundra gånger så mycket säd som hade såtts.” 9 Sedan sa han: ”Lyssna, hör, den som har öron!”
Jesus förklarar liknelsen om sådden
(Matt 13:10-23; Luk 8:9-15)
10 När han senare var ensam med de tolv och de andra som följde honom, frågade de honom om liknelsen.
11 Han svarade: ”Ni har fått gåvan att förstå Guds rikes hemlighet, men de andra utanför får allting bara i liknelser, 12 för att
’de ska se men ändå inte fatta,
höra men ändå inte förstå,
och därför inte vända om och få förlåtelse.’[a]
13 Men om ni inte förstår ens den här liknelsen, hur ska ni då kunna begripa några andra liknelser?
14 Det lantbrukaren sår är ordet. 15 Sådden bredvid vägen är de hos vilka ordet blir sått, men som knappt har hört det förrän Satan kommer och tar bort ordet som såtts i dem. 16 Sådden på den steniga marken är de som hör ordet och tar emot det med glädje, 17 men som saknar rot inom sig och bara består en kort tid. När sedan lidanden eller förföljelser kommer på grund av ordet, faller de genast bort.
18 Sådden bland tistlar är de som hör ordet 19 men låter världsliga bekymmer, rikedomens lockelser och begär efter andra saker få komma in och kväva ordet, så att det blir fruktlöst.
20 Men sådden i den bördiga jorden är de som lyssnar till ordet och tar det till sig och bär frukt, trettio, sextio eller till och med hundra gånger så mycket som den sådd som såddes.”
Liknelsen om lampan
(Luk 8:16-18)
21 Sedan sa Jesus till dem: ”Man tar inte fram en lampa och ställer ett sädesmått över den eller sätter den under en säng. En lampa ställer man i ett lampställ. 22 Allt som nu är gömt ska en dag föras fram, och allt som är dolt ska dras upp i ljuset. 23 Lyssna, hör, du som har öron!” 24 Han sa till dem: ”Hör upp! Med det mått ni mäter ska det mätas upp åt er och även mer kommer ni att få. 25 Den som har ska nämligen få. Men den som inget har, ska bli av med även det.”
Liknelsen om säden som växer
26 Han sa också: ”Guds rike är som när en man sår säd på marken. 27 Mannen sover och vaknar, och allteftersom dagarna går börjar säden gro och växa utan att han vet hur. 28 Det är jorden som får säden att gro, först strå, sedan ax, och till slut är vetet moget. 29 När grödan mognar kommer han med sin lie och skördar den, eftersom det är dags att skörda.”
Liknelsen om senapsfröet
(Matt 13:31-32; Luk 13:18-19)
30 Han sa: ”Hur ska vi beskriva Guds rike? Vilken liknelse ska vi använda? 31 Det är som ett senapsfrö som sås i jorden. Det är det minsta[b] av alla frön som sås i jorden, 32 men när det har såtts växer det upp och blir störst bland kryddväxterna och får så stora grenar att himlens fåglar kan bygga bo i dess skugga.”
33 Jesus förkunnade ordet för dem i många sådana liknelser, så mycket de nu kunde förstå. 34 Han talade aldrig till dem utan en liknelse, men när han blev ensam med sina lärjungar förklarade han allt för dem.
Jesus stillar stormen
(Matt 8:18; 18:23-27; Luk 8:22-25)
35 När det blev kväll sa Jesus till sina lärjungar: ”Kom, så åker vi över till andra sidan sjön.” 36 Då lämnade de folket och åkte över i den båt där Jesus redan satt. Flera andra båtar följde också med. 37 Men då blåste en våldsam storm upp, och höga vågor slog in i båten så att den fylldes nästan helt av vatten. 38 Jesus själv låg och sov i båtens akter med huvudet mot en kudde. Men hans lärjungar väckte honom och sa: ”Mästare, märker du inte att vi håller på att förgås?”
39 Då reste han sig upp och talade strängt till vinden och sjön och sa: ”Tig! Var tyst!” Och genast lade sig vinden, och det blev alldeles lugnt.
40 Sedan frågade han sina lärjungar: ”Varför är ni rädda? Har ni fortfarande svårt att tro?”
41 Förskräckta sa de till varandra: ”Vem är han, som till och med vinden och sjön lyder?”

Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Pilda semănătorului
4 Isus a început iarăşi(A) să înveţe pe norod lângă mare. Fiindcă se adunase foarte mult norod la El, S-a suit şi a şezut într-o corabie, pe mare; iar tot norodul stătea pe ţărm lângă mare. 2 Apoi a început să-i înveţe multe lucruri în pilde; şi(B), în învăţătura pe care le-o dădea, le spunea: 3 „Ascultaţi! Iată, semănătorul a ieşit să semene. 4 Pe când semăna, o parte din sămânţă a căzut lângă drum: au venit păsările şi au mâncat-o. 5 O altă parte a căzut pe un loc stâncos, unde n-avea mult pământ: a răsărit îndată, pentru că n-a dat de un pământ adânc, 6 dar, când a răsărit soarele, s-a pălit şi, pentru că n-avea rădăcină, s-a uscat. 7 O altă parte a căzut între spini: spinii au crescut, au înecat-o şi n-a dat rod. 8 O altă parte a căzut în pământ bun: a dat(C) rod, care se înălţa şi creştea şi a adus una treizeci, alta şaizeci şi alta o sută.” 9 Apoi a zis: „Cine are urechi de auzit să audă”. 10 Când(D) a fost singur, cei ce erau în jurul Lui, împreună cu cei doisprezece, L-au întrebat despre pilde. 11 „Vouă”, le-a zis El, „v-a fost dat să cunoaşteţi taina Împărăţiei lui Dumnezeu, dar pentru cei ce(E) sunt afară din numărul vostru, toate lucrurile sunt înfăţişate în pilde, 12 pentru ca(F) , măcar că privesc, să privească şi să nu vadă şi, măcar că aud, să audă şi să nu înţeleagă, ca nu cumva să se întoarcă la Dumnezeu şi să li se ierte păcatele.” 13 El le-a mai zis: „Nu înţelegeţi pilda aceasta? Cum veţi înţelege atunci toate celelalte pilde? 14 Semănătorul(G) seamănă Cuvântul. 15 Cei înfăţişaţi prin sămânţa căzută lângă drum sunt aceia în care este semănat Cuvântul, dar, după ce l-au auzit, vine Satana îndată şi ia Cuvântul semănat în ei. 16 Tot aşa, cei înfăţişaţi prin sămânţa căzută în locurile stâncoase sunt aceia care, când aud Cuvântul, îl primesc îndată cu bucurie, 17 dar n-au rădăcină în ei, ci ţin până la o vreme şi, cum vine un necaz sau o prigonire din pricina Cuvântului, se leapădă îndată de el. 18 Alţii sunt cei înfăţişaţi prin sămânţa căzută între spini; aceştia sunt cei ce aud Cuvântul, 19 dar năvălesc în ei grijile lumii, înşelăciunea(H) bogăţiilor şi poftele altor lucruri, care îneacă Cuvântul şi-l fac astfel neroditor. 20 Alţii, apoi, sunt înfăţişaţi prin sămânţa căzută în pământ bun. Aceştia sunt cei ce aud Cuvântul, îl primesc şi fac rod: unul treizeci, altul şaizeci şi altul o sută.”
Lumina
21 El(I) le-a mai zis: „Oare lumina este adusă ca să fie pusă sub baniţă sau sub pat? Nu este adusă ca să fie pusă în sfeşnic? 22 Căci(J) nu este nimic ascuns care nu va fi descoperit şi nimic tăinuit care nu va ieşi la lumină. 23 Dacă(K) are cineva urechi de auzit, să audă.” 24 El le-a mai zis: „Luaţi seama la ce auziţi. Cu(L) ce măsură veţi măsura, vi se va măsura şi vi se va da şi mai mult. 25 Căci(M), celui ce are, i se va da; dar, de la cel ce n-are, se va lua şi ce are.”
Pilda cu sămânţa
26 El a mai zis: „Cu(N) Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu este ca atunci când aruncă un om sămânţa în pământ; 27 fie că doarme noaptea, fie că stă treaz ziua, sămânţa încolţeşte şi creşte fără să ştie el cum. 28 Pământul rodeşte singur: întâi un fir verde, apoi spic, după aceea grâu deplin în spic 29 şi, când este coaptă roada, pune(O) îndată secera în ea, pentru că a venit secerişul.”
Pilda grăuntelui de muştar
30 El a mai zis: „Cu(P) ce vom asemăna Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu, sau prin ce pildă o vom înfăţişa? 31 Se aseamănă cu un grăunte de muştar, care, când este semănat în pământ, este cea mai mică dintre toate seminţele de pe pământ, 32 dar, după ce a fost semănat, creşte şi se face mai mare decât toate zarzavaturile şi face ramuri mari, aşa că păsările cerului îşi pot face cuiburi la umbra lui.” 33 Isus(Q) le vestea Cuvântul prin multe pilde de felul acesta, după cum erau ei în stare să-L priceapă. 34 Nu le vorbea deloc fără pildă, dar, când era singur la o parte, lămurea ucenicilor Săi toate lucrurile.
Potolirea furtunii
35 În(R) aceeaşi zi, seara, Isus le-a zis: „Să trecem în partea cealaltă”. 36 După ce au dat drumul norodului, ucenicii L-au luat în corabia în care se afla şi aşa cum era. Împreună cu El mai erau şi alte corăbii. 37 S-a stârnit o mare furtună de vânt, care arunca valurile în corabie, aşa că mai că se umplea corabia. 38 Şi El dormea la cârmă pe căpătâi. Ucenicii L-au deşteptat şi I-au zis: „Învăţătorule, nu-Ţi pasă că pierim?” 39 El S-a sculat, a certat vântul şi a zis mării: „Taci! Fără gură!” Vântul a stat şi s-a făcut o linişte mare. 40 Apoi le-a zis: „Pentru ce sunteţi aşa de fricoşi? Tot n-aveţi credinţă?” 41 I-a apucat o mare frică şi ziceau unii către alţii: „Cine este acesta de Îl ascultă chiar şi vântul, şi marea?”
Mark 4
King James Version
4 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.
2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
4 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.
5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 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.
9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
14 The sower soweth the word.
15 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.
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17 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.
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
19 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.
20 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.
21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.
34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
Mark 4
New King James Version
The Parable of the Sower(A)
4 And (B)again He began to teach by the sea. And a great multitude was gathered to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole multitude was on the land facing the sea. 2 Then He taught them many things by parables, (C)and said to them in His teaching:
3 “Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds [a]of the air came and devoured it. 5 Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth. 6 But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away. 7 And some seed fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no [b]crop. 8 But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”
9 And He said [c]to them, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
The Purpose of Parables(D)
10 (E)But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable. 11 And He said to them, “To you it has been given to (F)know the [d]mystery of the kingdom of God; but to (G)those who are outside, all things come in parables, 12 so that
(H)‘Seeing they may see and not perceive,
And hearing they may hear and not understand;
Lest they should turn,
And their sins be forgiven them.’ ”
The Parable of the Sower Explained(I)
13 And He said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? 14 (J)The sower sows the word. 15 And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16 These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they stumble. 18 Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, 19 and the (K)cares of this world, (L)the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. 20 But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, [e]accept it, and bear (M)fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”
Light Under a Basket(N)
21 (O)Also He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be set on a lampstand? 22 (P)For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light. 23 (Q)If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24 Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. (R)With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given. 25 (S)For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
The Parable of the Growing Seed
26 And He said, (T)“The kingdom of God is as if a man should [f]scatter seed on the ground, 27 and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and (U)grow, he himself does not know how. 28 For the earth (V)yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. 29 But when the grain ripens, immediately (W)he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
The Parable of the Mustard Seed(X)
30 Then He said, (Y)“To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? 31 It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; 32 but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.”
Jesus’ Use of Parables
33 (Z)And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it. 34 But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, (AA)He explained all things to His disciples.
Wind and Wave Obey Jesus(AB)
35 (AC)On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” 36 Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. 38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, (AD)“Teacher, (AE)do You not care that we are perishing?”
39 Then He arose and (AF)rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, (AG)“Peace,[g] be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. 40 But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? (AH)How[h] is it that you have no faith?” 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”
