Mark 4:34

Read in context

Mark 4:32–36 · Berean Standard Bible

32 But after it is planted, it grows to be the largest of all garden plants and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air nest in its shade.”

33 With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34 He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35 When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36 After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him.
