3 E falou-lhe de muitas coisas por parábolas, dizendo: Eis que o semeador saiu a semear.

4 E, quando semeava, uma parte da semente caiu junto ao caminho, e vieram as aves, e comeram-na;

5 E outra parte caiu em pedregais, onde não havia terra bastante, e logo nasceu, porque não tinha terra funda;

6 Mas, vindo o sol, queimou-se, e secou-se, porque não tinha raiz.

7 E outra caiu entre espinhos, e os espinhos cresceram e sufocaram-na.

8 E outra caiu em boa terra, e deu fruto: um a cem, outro a sessenta e outro a trinta.

9 Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça.

3 And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow; 4 and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them: 5 and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6 and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked them: 8 and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He that hath ears, let him hear.
