Mark 4:1-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
1
Again He began to teach by the sea. And such a very large crowd gathered to Him that He got into a boat on the sea and sat down; and the whole crowd was by the sea on the land.
2
And He was teaching them many things in parables, and was saying to them in His teaching,
3
Listen
to this!
Behold, the sower went out to sow;
4
as he was sowing, some
seed
fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate it up.
5
Other
seed
fell on the rocky
ground
where it did not have much soil; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of soil.
6
And when the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
King James Version
Chapter 4
1
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 4
1
Again he began to teach by the sea, and a very large crowd gathered around him. So he got into a boat on the sea and sat down, while the whole crowd was by the sea on the shore.
2
He taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them:
3
"Listen! Consider the sower who went out to sow.
4
As he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
5
Other seed fell on rocky ground where it didn’t have much soil, and it grew up quickly, since the soil wasn’t deep.
6
When the sun came up, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away.
New Living Translation
Chapter 4
1
Once again Jesus began teaching by the lakeshore. A very large crowd soon gathered around him, so he got into a boat. Then he sat in the boat while all the people remained on the shore.
2
He taught them by telling many stories in the form of parables, such as this one:
3
Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seed.
4
As he scattered it across his field, some of the seed fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate it.
5
Other seed fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seed sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow.
6
But the plant soon wilted under the hot sun, and since it didn’t have deep roots, it died.
English Standard Version

Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water’s edge.
2
He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said:
3
"Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.
4
As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
5
Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.
6
But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
