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 ao pé do 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, que ouça.

3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. 9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
