4:1
Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd
gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea;
and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. 2 And he taught them
many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them: 3
"Listen! a sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell
along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. 5 Other seed fell on
rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and immediately it sprang up,
since it had no depth of soil; and when the sun rose it was scorched, and
since it had no root it withered away. 7 Other seed fell among thorns and
the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. 8 And other
seeds fell into good soil and brought forth grain, growing up and
increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixty fold and a
hundredfold." 9 And he said, "He who has ears to hear, let
him hear."

8:27 And went forth Jesus and
the disciples of him to the villages of Caesarea (Note: Caesarea on the coast) of Philip: and in the way he
questioned the disciples of him saying to them: Whom me say the men to be ?
28 And they told him saying, John the Baptist, and others Elias, but others
that one of the prophets. 29 and he questioned the: But ye whom me say ye
to be? Answering Peter says to him: Thou art the Christ. 30 And he warned
them that no one they might tell about him. 31 And he began to teach them
that it behooves the son of man many things to suffer and to be rejected by
the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and to be killed and after
three days to rise again 32 and openly the word he spoke. and taking aside
the Peter him began to rebuke him. 33 But he turning round and seeing the
disciples of him rebuked Peter and says: Go behind me, Satan, because they
mindest not the things of God but the things of men. 34 And calling to him
the crowd with the disciples of him he said to them: if anyone wishes after
me to come, let him deny himself and take the cross of him, and let him
follow me. 35 For whoever wishes the life of him to save, will lose it: but
whoever will lose the life of him for the sake of me and the gospel, will
save it. 36 For what profits a man to gain the world whole and to be fined
the soul of him? 37 For what might a man an exchange of the soul of him 38
For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in generation this adulterous and
sinful, also the Son of man will be ashamed of him, when he comes in the
glory of the Father of him with the angels holy. and he said to them: truly
I tell you that these are some here of the ones standing who by no
means may taste of death until they see the kingdom of god having
come in power.
