{SCJ}A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. {SCJ.}
{SCJ}And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold.{SCJ.} And when he had said these things, he cried, {SCJ}He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. {SCJ.}
And he said, {SCJ}Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. {SCJ.}
{SCJ}Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. {SCJ.}
{SCJ}They on the rock [are they,] which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. {SCJ.}
{SCJ}And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of [this] life, and bring no fruit to perfection. {SCJ.}
{SCJ}But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep [it,] and bring forth fruit with patience. {SCJ.}
{SCJ}No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth [it] under a bed; but setteth [it] on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. {SCJ.}
{SCJ}Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. {SCJ.}
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, {SCJ}Let us go over unto the other side of the lake.{SCJ.} And they launched forth.
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
And he said unto them, {SCJ}Where is your faith?{SCJ.} And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in [any] house, but in the tombs.
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, [thou] Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
{SCJ}Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee.{SCJ.} And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.
And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:
And Jesus said, {SCJ}Who touched me?{SCJ.} When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press [thee,] and sayest thou, {SCJ}Who touched me? {SCJ.}
And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was healed immediately.
