leaving the synagogue begin plotting against him with the partisans of hard to see how they could make away with a jesus went away to the lakeside with his disciples great numbers from galilee judea and jerusalem id you mia and trans jordan and the neighborhood of trapped inside and heard what he was doing and came to see him so he told his disciples to have a bold ready for him to save him from being crushed by the ground forty cured so many that sick people for carrying this kid grounding upon in detection the unclean spigots to when they saw him will forward his feet and cry alone and you have the son of god but he insisted that they should not be condoned he then went up and the hill country and

called the man he wanted and they went and joined him he appointed twelve as his companions or we would send out to proclaim the gospel with a commission to drive out devils so he appointed the twelve decide when he gave the name peter then came the sons of seventy games and his brother john who will be given the name or veggies sounds of thunder then andrew and filip and with all of you and matthew and thomas and jeans the son of orpheus as thaddeus outside one a member of the zealot party and judas iscariot the man who betrayed him he entered the house and once more such a girl

strong man's house and make off with these groups unless he us first tried the strong man up then he can rent said the house i tell you there's no sin no surrender is beyond forgiveness for man but whoever some members the holy spirit can never be forgiven he is guilty all the heat have no say he said this because they have declared that he was possessed by i don't clean spic and his mother and his brothers arrived and remaining outside sent in a message asking him to come out to them approach was sitting around and wood was brought to him your mother and your brothers are outside asking for you here

some seed fail along the food box and the birds came and did it up some seed fail on rocky ground where it had little soil and it's sprouted quickly because it had no depth of earth but when december rose the un court was scorched and as it had no proper route it withered away some cedar fair officials but officials showed up and chalk the corn and it yielded know crawl and some of the seed fail into good soil when it came up and grew and boyfriend and the yield was seventy four and sixty four to even a hundredfold he added if you have ears to hear there and here when he was alone the twelve and others who were rounded questioned him about the

bubbles he replied to you the secret of the kingdom of god has been given but to those who are inside everything comes by way of cannibals so there's a scripture says they've received nothing baby here and here but i understand nothing otherwise they might turn to go on and be forgiven or so he said you do not understand this possible coded are you to understand in a possible this or so's the word those along the food bought the people involved the word do so but no sooner have inherited that sitcoms and carries off the word which has been so in the end it is the same with those who receive the seed on the rocky ground as soon as they hear the word they

accept it with joy but it strikes know root it though they have no state power than when there is trouble or persecution on account of the word before we at once others again received the seed of our officials they hear the word but worldly cares have a force level of wealth and all kinds of evil desire to come in and fill the word added grooves farm and that of those who received the seed it good soil they hear the word and welcome it and they bear fruit thirty four and sixty four all a hundred forward he said to them do you bring in the lamp to put it under the butte tub or under the bay and surely it has brought to be said on the lamps stand for nothing is hidden messages to be

disclosed and that's a book that doesn't cover it unless it has to come into the open a few obvious to hear then here he also said take note of what you'll hear the measure you give is the measure you will receive with something more besides for the man who has will be given more and the man who has not will forfeit even what he has he said the kingdom of god is like this abandoned scared to seed all of the land it goes to bed at night that gets up in the morning and the seed sprouts and grows how you he does not know the grown produce is a crawl by itself first the blade they are the easier than grown

corn it the ear but as soon as the crop is right he sits to work with the sicko because harvest time has come he said your soul how shall we picture of the kingdom of god or by what pablo show we describe it it is like the mustard seed which is smaller than any seed in the ground acted selling but what's so when it springs up and grows taller than any other plant and forbes branches so large that the birds could settle in and she'd with many such bottles he would give them his message so far as they were able to receive it he never spoke of them except in power bills but privately to his disciples he explained everything the reading ends at the sec to force

that's all the fourth chapter of the gospel recording
