|And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

|And Jesus then traveled through many cities and villages with His twelve best students, preaching the good news of the Kingdom of God.

|Is ‘disciple’ too archaic? Perhaps; alternatives include "followers", "students", other suggestions?

|And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

|And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:

|And when a crowd of many people from the cities came to hear Him, He told them this parable:

|A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

|"A man went out to plant his crops, and he threw the seeds onto the field. Some of the seeds fell on the edge of the field: this was stepped on and eaten by birds."

|

|-

|And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

|"Some seeds landed on rocks, and so the shoots withered from lack of water."

|And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

|"Some seeds landed in patches of weeds, which grew with the crops until the weeds choked the plants."

|And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

|"But the rest of the seeds landed on fertile ground, and grew well, providing a harvest of one hundred times more than the farmer had planted. And when Jesus said this, He said: If you have ears, listen!"

|And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?

|The students of Jesus asked Him to explain the parable to them.

|And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

|And Jesus answered, "You disciples already know all about the Kingdom of God, but to these other people I tell parables so they might understand better"

|I think I've failed to do justice to this verse.

|Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

|”The parable means this: The seed is the Truth of The Lord.

|Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

|The seeds on the edge of the field are the people who hear the Truth, but The Devil comes and stops them believing, to stop them from being saved.

|

|They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

|The seeds on the rock represent those people who, having heard the Truth, are happy, but do not let the faith become established. And so they only believe for a little while, and when they are tested they lose faith.

|

|-

−

|14

+

|And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

|The seeds that tried to grow in the weeds are the people who heard the Truth, but were distracted by the everyday trivia of life and self-indulgence.

|

|-

−

|15

+

|15

|But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

|But the seeds that fell on the fertile ground are the honest and moral people who hear and constantly remember the Truth, and so these people persevere, and achieve their potential.

|No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

|No man lights a candle and hides the flame by covering it with a pot or putting it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a candlestick, so that people can see the light.

|Is candlestick appropriate here?

|For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

|Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

|Therefore, listen carefully to me: whoever has this will have it given to him, and whoever does not will have whatever he seems to have taken away."

|And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

|And His students awoke Jesus, saying, “Teacher, we will drown”. Then He stood up and rebuked the wind and the waves, so that the wind stopped blowing and the waves calmed.

|And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.

|And Jesus said to his students, “Where is your faith?” And they were in awe of this, and said to each other, “What kind of man is this? When He commands the winds and the waves, they obey!”

|(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)

|(For Jesus had ordered The Devil to come out of the man, because the man had been possessed so often that he was kept restrained with chains, but when possessed, he would break the chains, and The Devil would drive him out into the wilderness.)
