sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit, John iii. 8. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God, 1 Cor. ii. 11. VER. 28. Αὐτομάτη γὰρ ἡ γῆ καρποφορεῖ, πρῶτον χόρτον, εἶτα στάχυν, εἶτα πλήρη στον ἐν τῷ στάχυϊ. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. a And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good, Gen. i. 11, 12. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all nations, Isa. Ixi. 11. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also, Matt. xiii. 26. VER. 29. Ὅταν δὲ παραδῷ ὁ καρπὸς, εὐθέως ἀποOTÉKKEL Tò SpéπAvov, öri wapéornuev & Deρισμός. But when the fruit is "brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. * Or, ripe. a The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. He shall enter into peace they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness, Isa. lvii. 1, 2. Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great, Joel iii. 13. Let both grow together until the harvest and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Ga A. D. 31. ther ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them : but gather the wheat into my barn, Matt. xiii. 30. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man,, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud, thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped, Rev. xiv. 13-16. VER. 30. Καὶ ἔλεγε· Τίνι ὁμοιώτωμεν τὴν βα σιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ; ἢ ἐν ποίᾳ παραβολῇ παραβάλωμεν αὐτήν ; And he said, a Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? : a What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea who can heal thee? Lam. ii. 13. But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, Matt. xi. 16. and Luke vii. 31. Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? Luke xiii. 18. VER. 31. Ως κόκκω σινάπεως, ὃς, ὅταν σπαρή ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, μικρότερος πάντων τῶν σπερμάτων ἐστὶ τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. which, when it is sown in the earth, is a It is like a grain of mustard seed, less than all the seeds that be in the earth: a See on Matt. xiii. ver. 31, 32. VER. 32. Καὶ ὅταν σπαρῇ, ἀναβαίνει, καὶ γίνεται πάντων τῶν λαχάνων μείζων, καὶ ποιεῖ A. D. 31. MARK IV. 32-39. A. D. 31. κλάδους μεγάλους, ὥστε δύνασθαι ὑπὸ τὴν | disciples asked him, saying, What σκιὰν αὐτοῦ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατα- | might this parable be ? And he said, σκηνοῦν. But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. VER. 33. Καὶ τοιαύταις παραβολαῖς πολλαῖς ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς τὸν λόγον, καθὼς ἐδύναντο ἀκούειν. And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, b as they were able to hear it. a See on Matt. xiii. ver. 34. bI have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now, John xvi. 12. And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able, 1 Cor. iii. 1, 2. Οἱ whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing, Heb. v. 11. VER. 34. Χωρὶς δὲ παραβολῆς οὐκ ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς. κατ' ἰδίαν δὲ τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὑτοῦ ἐπέλυε πάντα. But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. Unto you it is given to know the Καὶ ἀφέντες τὸν ὄχλον παραλαμβάνουσιν αὐτὸν ὡς ἦν ἐν τῷ πλοίων καὶ ἄλλα δὲ πλοιάρια ἦν μετ' αὐτοῦ. And when they had sent away the multitude, a they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. a And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him, Matt. viii. 23. VER. 37. Καὶ γίνεται λαίλαψ ἀνέμου μεγάλη· τὰ δὲ κύματα ἐπέβαλλεν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, ὥστε αὐτὸ ἤδη γεμίζεσθαι. a And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. a See on Matt. viii. ver. 24-27. VER. 38. Καὶ ἦν αὐτὸς ἐπὶ τῇ πρύμνη ἐπὶ τὸ προσκεφάλαιον, καθεύδων, καὶ διεγείρουσιν αὐτὸν, καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· Διδάσκαλε, οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἀπολλύμεθα ; * And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, ver. 10, 11. And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. And he saith unto them, &c. vii. 17, 18. Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man, Matt. xiii. 36, 37. Then answered Peter and said unto him, Καὶ διεγερθεὶς ἐπετίμησε τῷ ἀνέμῳ, Declare unto us this parable. And | καὶ εἶπε τῇ θαλάσσης Σιώπα, πεφίμωσι. Jesus said, Are ye also yet without | Καὶ ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος, καὶ ἐγένετο γα understanding? xv. 15, 16. And his | λám μeyáλn. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? VER. 39. L A. D. 31. MARK 1V. 39-41.ν. 1-13. And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. VER. 40. A. D. 31. Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Τὶ δειλοί ἐστε οὕτω ; καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ· Ἰδὼν δὲ τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἀπὸ μακρόθεν, ἔδαμε, And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? VER. 41. Καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν φόβον μέγαν, καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς ἀλλήλους· Τίς ἄρα οὗτός ἐστιν, ὅτι καὶ ὁ ἄνεμος καὶ ἡ θάλασσα ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ; And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? CHAP. V.-VER. 1. Καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὸ πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης, εἰς τὴν χώραν τῶν Γαδαρηνῶν. a And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. a See on Matt. viii. ver. 28-33. But when he saw Jesus afar off, he came and worshipped him, VER. 7. Καὶ κράξας φωνῇ μεγάλη, εἶπε· Τί ὑψίστου; ὁρκίζω σε τὸν Θεὸν, μὴ με βαἐμοὶ καὶ σοι, Ἰησοῦ, υἱὲ τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ σανίσης. Καὶ ἐπηρώτα αὐτόν· Τί σοι ὄνομα ; And he answered, saying, My name is | VER. 10.

Οἱ δὲ βόσκοντες τοὺς χοίρους, ἔφυγον, καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἀγρούς. Καὶ ἐξῆλθον ἰδεῖν τί ἐστι τὸ γεγονός. And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done. VER, 15. Καὶ ἔρχονται πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν, καὶ θεωροῦσι τὸν δαιμονιζόμενον, καθήμενον, καὶ ἱματισμένον, καὶ σωφρονοῦντα, τὸν ἐσχηκότα τὸν λεγεῶνα· καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν. And they come to Jesus, and a see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: b and they were afraid. a Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the LonD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children, Isa. xlix. 24, 25.

And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts. VER. 18. Καὶ ἐμβάντος αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, παρεκάλει αὐτὸν ὁ δαιμονισθεὶς ἵνα ᾖ μετ' αὐτοῦ. And when he was come into the ship, a he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. a Now the man out of whom the de vils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee, Luke viii. 38, 39.
