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 told them many things in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow.

4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.

5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they had not much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil,

6 but when the sun rose they were scorched; and since they had no root they withered away.

7 Other seeds fell upon thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.

8 Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

9 He who has ears, let him hear."
