you; and something over shall be given to you that hear. (25)For to him
that hath, there shall more be given to him; but he that hath not, even
that which he hath shall be taken away from him.

(26)And he said, The kingdom of heaven is of that kind, as if a man
should cast seed into his field; (27)and sleep and rise, night and day,
and the sown corn should sprout, and grow into length, he knoweth not
how: (28)for the earth, naturally prolific, beareth fruit; first the
blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. (29)But when the
grain is ready, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because harvest
is come.

(30)And he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God, and under
what parabolic figure shall I represent it? (31)It is like a grain of
mustard, which when it is sown in the earth, is among the least of all
the seeds which are upon the earth: (32)but when it is sown, it groweth
up and becomes greater than all herbaceous plants, and produceth vast
branches; so that the birds of the air may roost under the shadow of
it. (33)And with many such like parables spake he to them the word.
(34)And without a parable spake he not unto them; but in private he
explained them all to his disciples.

(35)And the same day he saith unto them, as the evening shut in, Let us
pass over to the other side. (36)And sending the multitude away, they
took him just as he was in the vessel; and there were also some other
little vessels with him. (37)And a great hurricane arose, and the waves
broke into the vessel, so that it was now full of water: (38)and he was
in the stern, sleeping on a pillow: and they awoke him, and say unto
him, Master, is it no concern to thee that we are perishing? (39)And
rising, he with authority charged the wind, and said to the sea,
Silence! be still! And the wind subsided, and there was a great calm.
(40)And he said to them, Why are ye so timorous? How is it that ye have
not confidence? (41)And they were filled with the most reverential awe,
and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind
and the sea obey him?

AND they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the
Gadarenes. (2)And as he was going out of the vessel, immediately there
met him a man with an unclean spirit, (3)coming out of the tombs; who
had his abode among the tombs; and no man could secure him, not even
with chains; (4)for he had been often bound with fetters and chains,
and the chain
