Mark 4

Jesus teaches the crowds from a boat on the Sea of Galilee, explaining the Parable of the Sower, where the seed (God's word) falls on various types of soil. He also teaches the Parable of the Lamp on a Stand and the Parable of the Growing Seed, emphasizing that the Kingdom of God grows secretly and powerfully. The chapter ends with Jesus calming a fierce storm with a simple command, leading the terrified disciples to ask, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"
