Jesus sows "the word"

4:01	And again he-began to-teach beside the sea.
	And was-led-together before him a-crowd vast, ...
	so-that he into a-boat stepped, sitting in the sea.
	And all the crowd, before the sea, on the land were.
4:02	And he-taught them, in parables many.
	And he-said to-them, in the teaching of-him, ...

4:03	"Listen! Behold, went-out the-one sowing to-sow."
4:04	"And it-came-about in the sowing, the some indeed fell by the way, ..."
	and came the flyers of-the heaven, and down-ate it."
4:05	"And other fell on the rocky-place, where not did-it-have soil much, ..."
	"and immediately up-it-sprang, because the (sprouted seed) not did-it-have a-depth of-soil."
4:06	"And when rose the sun, it-was-scorched, ..."
	"and because the (sprout) not did have a-root, it-withered."
4:07	"And other (seed) fell into the thorn-bushes, ..."
	"and the thorn-bushes stepped-up and together-choked it, ..."
	"and fruit not it-gives."
4:08	"And others fell into the earth the ideal."
	"And it-gave fruit stepping-up and growing and bearing, ..."
	"one thirty, ..."
	"and one sixty, ..."
	"and one one-hundred."

The Challenge to Solve "the Mystery"

4:09	And he-was-saying ..."Who has ears to-hear, let-him-hear!"
4:10	And when he-was down by-himself, were-asking him the-ones around him with the twelve, the (meaning of) parables.
4:11	And he-was-saying to-them, "To-you the mystery has-been-given of-the Kingdom of-the God, ..."
	"to-those but who-are outside, in parables the everything comes."
4:12	"In-order-that seeing, they-may-see, ..."
	"and not may-they-perceive, ..."
	"and hearing, they-may-hear, ..."
	"and not may-they-understand, ..."
	"lest-ever they-may-turn and it-be-forgiven to-them."
4:13	And he-says to-them, ... "Not understand-you the parable this?"
4:14	"And how all the parables will-you-then-know?"
4:15	"The one sowing the word sows."
	"And these are the-ones beside the way where is-sown the word, ..."
	"and when they-hear,"
	"immediately comes the Satan, ..."
	"and he-took-up 'the word' of-the ones-sown into them"

The Solution

4:16	"And these are the-ones upon the rocky-places being-sown," ...
	"who when they-hear the word, ..."
	"immediately with joy receive it."
4:17	"And not do-they-have a-root in themselves, but short-lived are," ...
	"then comes tribulation or persecution because-of the word, ..."
	"immediately they-are-snared."
4:18	"And others are the-ones into the thorn-flowers being-sown, ..."
	"These are the-ones the word having-heard. "
4:19	"And the worries of-the eternity, ..."
	"and the deceit of-the wealth, ... "
	"and the lusts about the remaining-things, "
	"coming-in together-are-choking the word, ... "
	"and unfruitful it-becomes."
4:20	"And these are the-ones upon the earth the ideal having-been-sown, ..."
	"who hear the word and beside-receive-it and bear-fruit, ..."
	"one 'thirty' ..."
	"and one 'sixty' ..."
	"and one 'one-hundred'."
