## Mark 4:3-8 in Context (Verses 1–11 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/mark/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 ](/kjv/mark/4/2) And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
 
 [3 ](/kjv/mark/4/3) Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
 
 [4 ](/kjv/mark/4/4) 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 ](/kjv/mark/4/5) 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 ](/kjv/mark/4/6) But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/mark/4/7) And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/mark/4/8) 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 ](/kjv/mark/4/9) And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/mark/4/10) And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/mark/4/11) 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:
