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 He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, "Behold, a farmer went out to sow. 4 As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them. 5 Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth. 6 When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away. 7 Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them. 8 Others fell on good soil and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
