1He was back at it, teaching by the beach, and a whole squad rolled up, so he hopped on a boat and chilled in the water; everyone was vibing on the shore.

2He dropped some major wisdom through parables, schooling them with his teachings, no cap.

3Yo, listen up; a sower went out to plant some seeds:

4As he was sowing, some seeds landed on the path, and the birds swooped in and snatched them up, savage.

5Some seeds hit rocky ground, where there wasn't much soil; they popped up fast, but no depth, fr.

6But when the sun came out, they got burned; since they had no roots, they just dried up.

7Some seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them out, so they didn't produce anything.

8But other seeds landed on good soil, and they were bussin, growing and multiplying; some produced thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred.

9He told them, "If you got ears, listen up and hear this."

10When he was chilling solo, the crew around him and the twelve asked him about the parable.

11He was like, "Yo, you guys get the secret sauce of God’s kingdom, but for the outsiders, it’s all just parable vibes."

12They see but don’t really see, hear but don’t get it; like, if they did, they’d turn it around and get their sins wiped clean, no cap.

13He was like, "You don’t get this parable? How you gonna understand all the others then?"

14The sower is out here throwing down the word, fr.

15These peeps are by the roadside, where the word drops; but when they hear it, Satan swoops in and snatches it away from their hearts, savage.

16Then there are those on rocky ground; they hear the word and are hyped about it right away.

17But they ain’t got roots, so they only last for a minute; when tough times hit because of the word, they bounce out.

18These are the ones among thorns; they hear the word, but it’s sus.

19The world’s worries, the lies of riches, and those cravings choke the word, making it straight-up unfruitful.

20And these are the ones on good soil; they hear the word, vibe with it, and then pop off bringing fruit—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred.

21He was like, "Yo, you really gonna hide a candle under a bushel or a bed? Nah, it’s gotta shine on a candlestick, fam."

22Nothing's kept on the down-low that won’t be revealed; secrets always pop off eventually.

23If you got ears, listen up, fr.

24He said, "Pay attention to what you hear: whatever you measure out, it’s coming back to you; those who listen will get even more."

25If you got, more will be given; if you don’t, even what you had will be taken away, no cap.

26He said, "The kingdom of God is like a dude throwing seeds into the ground."

27Then he just chills, sleeps, and wakes up night and day, and the seeds grow without him even knowing how.

28The earth just does its thing; first the blade pops up, then the ear, and finally the full corn in the ear, lit.

29When the fruit’s ready, he’s quick with the sickle 'cause it’s harvest time, periodt.

30He asked, "What can we compare the kingdom of God to? What’s a good vibe for it?"

31It's like a tiny mustard seed, right? When you plant it, it's the smallest of all seeds, no cap.

32But once it's planted, it grows wild and becomes bigger than all the herbs, with branches so lit that birds can chill in its shade.

33He dropped mad parables like this, speaking the word to them, 'cause they could vibe with it.

34But he didn’t drop any parables when he was with them alone; he broke it all down for his squad.

35That same day, when evening hit, he was like, "Let's bounce to the other side."

36After sending the crowd away, they took him just as he was in the boat, and some other little boats rolled with them.

37Then a huge storm popped off, and the waves were crashing into the boat, filling it up, fr.

38He was chilling in the back of the boat, snoozing on a pillow; they woke him up, like, "Yo, Master, you don’t care that we’re about to drown?"

39He got up, called out to the wind, and told the sea, "Chill, be still." The wind stopped, and it was all calm, periodt.

40He asked them, "Why y’all so scared? How come you got no faith?"

41They were shook, saying to each other, "What kinda dude is this? Even the wind and sea are like, 'No cap, we listen to him!'"

1And 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.

2And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,

3Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

4And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

5And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

6But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

7And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

8And 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.

9And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

10And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

11And 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:

12That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

13And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

14The sower soweth the word.

15And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

16And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

17And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.

18And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

19And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

20And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

21And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

22For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

23If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

24And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

25For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

26And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

27And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

28For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

29But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

30And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

31It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

32But 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.

33And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.

34But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

35And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.

36And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

37And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

38And 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?

39And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

40And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

41And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
