4:1 耶稣又在海边施教；有大批群众聚集到祂那里，祂只得上船坐下；船在海里，群众都朝着海站在岸上。
And again He began to teach beside the sea, and a very great crowd was gathered unto Him, so that He stepped into a boat in the sea and sat down, and all the crowd was on the land, facing the sea.
4:2 祂就用比喻教训他们许多事，在教训之间，对他们说，
And He taught them many things in parables and said to them in His teaching:
4:3 你们要听！看哪，那撒种的出去撒种。
Listen! Behold, the sower went out to sow.
4:4 撒的时候，有的落在路旁，飞鸟来吃尽了。
And as he sowed, some seed fell beside the way, and the birds came and devoured it.
4:5 又有的落在土浅石头地上，土既不深，立刻发苗；
And other seed fell on the rocky place, where it did not have much earth, and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth.
4:6 日头一出来，就晒焦了，又因没有根，便枯干了。
And when the sun rose, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered.
4:7 还有的落在荆棘里，荆棘长起来，把它全然挤住了，就不结实。
And other seed fell into the thorns, and the thorns came up and utterly choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
4:8 但有的落在好土里，就发苗长大，并且结实，有的结三十倍，有的六十倍，有的一百倍。
And others fell into the good earth and yielded fruit, coming up and growing; and one bore thirty-fold, and one sixty-fold, and one a hundred-fold.
4:9 祂又说，有耳可听的，就应当听。
And He said, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
4:10 当耶稣独自的时候，祂周围的人，和十二个门徒，就将这些比喻问祂。
And when He was alone, those around Him, with the twelve, asked Him about the parables.
4:11 耶稣对他们说，神国的奥秘，只给你们知道，但对外人，凡事就用比喻，
And He said to them, To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those outside, all things are in parables,
4:12 叫他们看是看见，却看不透，听是听见，却不领悟；恐怕他们回转过来，就得赦免。
In order that seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest they turn and it be forgiven them.
4:13 耶稣又对他们说，你们不晓得这比喻么？这样怎能明白一切的比喻？
And He said to them, Do you not know this parable? And how will you know all the parables?
4:14 那撒种者所撒的，乃是道。
The sower sows the word.
4:15 那撒在路旁的，就是人听了道，撒但立刻来，把撒在他们里面的道夺了去。
And these are the ones beside the way, where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown into them.
4:16 那撒在石头地上的，照样也是人听了道，立刻欢喜领受，
And likewise, these are the ones being sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy.
4:17 但他们里面没有根，不过是暂时的；及至为道遭遇患难或逼迫，就立刻绊跌了。
Yet they have no root in themselves, but last only for a time; then when affliction or persecution occurs because of the word, immediately they are stumbled.
4:18 还有那撒在荆棘里的，就是人听了道，
And others are the ones being sown into the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,
4:19 后来有今世的思虑、钱财的迷惑、以及其他的贪欲，进来把道全然挤住了，道就不能结实。
And the anxieties of the age and the deceitfulness of riches and the lusts for other things enter in and utterly choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
4:20 但那撒在好土里的，就是人听了道，接受了，并且结实，有的三十倍，有的六十倍，有的一百倍。
And these are the ones sown on the good earth: those who hear the word and receive it and bear fruit, one thirtyfold, and one sixtyfold, and one a hundredfold.
