Mark 4:21

Mark 4:21

19 and the ^acares of this world, ^bthe 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,¹ accept it, and bear ^afruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”

Light Under a Basket

21 ^aAlso 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 ^aFor there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.

23 ^aIf anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24 Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. ^aWith the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.

25 ^aFor 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, ^a“The kingdom of God is as if a man should¹ scatter seed on the ground,

27 and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and ^agrow, he himself does not know how.

And he said unto them, Is a candle—or "lamp"

brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?—"that they which enter in may see the light" (Luke 8:16). See on Matthew 5:15, of which this is nearly a repetition.
