3 And he gave them teaching in the form of a story, saying, A man went out to put seed in the earth;

4 And while he did so, some seeds were dropped by the wayside, and the birds came and took them for food:

5 And some of the seed went among the stones, where it had not much earth, and straight away it came up because the earth was not deep:

6 And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root it became dry and dead.

7 And some seeds went among thorns, and the thorns came up and they had no room for growth:

8 And some, falling on good earth, gave fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, some thirty times as much.

9 He who has ears, let him give ear.

3 Y les habló muchas cosas por parábolas, diciendo: He aquí el que sembraba salió á sembrar.

4 Y sembrando, parte de la simiente cayó junto al camino; y vinieron las aves, y la comieron.

5 Y parte cayó en pedregales, donde no tenía mucha tierra; y nació luego, porque no tenía profundidad de tierra:

6 Mas en saliendo el sol, se quemó; y secóse, porque no tenía raíz.

7 Y parte cayó en espinas; y las espinas crecieron, y la ahogaron.

8 Y parte cayó en buena tierra, y dió fruto, cuál a ciento, cuál á sesenta, y cuál á treinta.

9 Quien tiene oídos para oir, oiga.
