CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Mark 4

Jesus teaches by the sea in parables: the sower, the lamp, the measure, the secretly growing seed, and the mustard seed. He explains the purpose of parables and the sower privately to His disciples. That evening He crosses the sea, sleeps during a violent storm, then rebukes the wind and sea, leaving the disciples afraid and asking what manner of man commands creation.
