Mark 4:28 "The soil produces crops by itself; first the blade, then the head, then the mature grain in the head.
Mark 4:29 "But when the crop permits, he immediately puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."
Mark 4:30 ¶ And He said, "How shall we picture the kingdom of God, or by what parable shall we present it?
Mark 4:31 "It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil,
Mark 4:32 yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR can NEST UNDER ITS SHADE."
Mark 4:33 ¶ With many such parables He was speaking the word to them, so far as they were able to hear it;
Mark 4:34 and He did not speak to them without a parable; but He was explaining everything privately to His own disciples.
Mark 4:35 ¶ On that day, when evening came, He *said to them, "Let us go over to the other side."
Mark 4:36 Leaving the crowd, they *took Him along with them in the boat, just as He was; and other boats were with Him.
Mark 4:37 And there *arose a fierce gale of wind, and the waves were breaking over the boat so much that the boat was already filling up.
Mark 4:38 Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they *woke Him and *said to Him, "Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?"
Mark 4:39 And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Hush, be still." And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm.
Mark 4:40 And He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
Mark 4:41 They became very much afraid and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?"
Mark 5:2 When He got out of the boat, immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him,
Mark 5:3 and he had his dwelling among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him anymore, even with a chain;
Mark 5:4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces, and no one was strong enough to subdue him.
Mark 5:5 Constantly, night and day, he was screaming among the tombs and in the mountains, and gashing himself with stones.
Mark 5:6 Seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran up and bowed down before Him;
Mark 5:7 and shouting with a loud voice, he *said, "What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!"
