3 And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went out to sow.

4 And as he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured them.

5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth. And they sprang up immediately, because they [had] no deepness of earth.

6 And [the] sun rising, 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 And some fell on the good ground and yielded fruit, indeed one a hundredfold, and one sixty, and one thirty.

9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
