The sower soweth the word

abanda

可4:1 耶稣又在海邊教訓人。有許多人到他那裏聚集，他只得上船坐下。船在海裏，衆人都靠近海，站在岸上。
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.
可4:2 耶稣就用比喻教訓他們許多道理。在教訓之間，對他們說：
And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
可4:3 “妳們聽啊！有壹個撒種的出去撒種。
Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
可4:4 撒的時候，有落在路旁的，飛鳥來吃盡了；
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.
可4:5 有落在土淺石頭地上的，土既不深，發苗最快，
And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
可4:6 日頭出來壹曬，因爲沒有根，就枯幹了；
But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
可4:7 有落在荊棘裏的，荊棘長起來，把它擠住了，就不結實；
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
可4:8 又有落在好土裏的，就發生長大，結實有三十倍的，有六十倍的，有壹百倍的。”
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. 可4:9 又說：“有耳可聽的，就應當聽！”
And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
可4:10 無人的時候，跟隨耶稣的人和十二個門徒，問他這比喻的意思。
And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
可4:11 耶稣對他們說：“　神國的奧秘，只叫妳們知道，若是對外人講，凡事就用比喻，
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:
可4:12 叫‘他們看是看見，卻不曉得；聽是聽見，卻不明白；恐怕他們回轉過來，就得赦免。’”
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.
可4:13 又對他們說：“妳們不明白這比喻嗎？這樣怎能明白壹切的比喻呢？
And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
可4:14 撒種之人所撒的就是道。
The sower soweth the word.
可4:15 那撒在路旁的，就是人聽了道，撒但立刻來，把撒在他心裏的道奪了去；
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.
可4:16 那撒在石頭地上的，就是人聽了道，立刻歡喜領受，
And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
可4:17 但他心裏沒有根，不過是暫時的，及至爲道遭了患難，或是受了逼迫，立刻就跌倒了；
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.
可4:18 還有那撒在荊棘裏的，就是人聽了道，
And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
可4:19 後來有世上的思慮，錢財的迷惑，和別樣的私欲進來，把道擠住了，就不能結實；
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.
可4:20 那撒在好地上的，就是人聽道，又領受，並且結實，有三十倍的，有六十倍的，有壹百倍的。”
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.
