3 E seus discursos foram uma série de parábolas.

4 Disse ele: Um semeador saiu a semear. E, semeando, parte da semente caiu ao longo do caminho; os pássaros vieram e a comeram.

5 Outra parte caiu em solo pedregoso, onde não havia muita terra, e nasceu logo, porque a terra era pouco profunda.

6 Logo, porém, que o sol nasceu, queimou-se, por falta de raízes.

7 Outras sementes caíram entre os espinhos: os espinhos cresceram e as sufocaram.

8 Outras, enfim, caíram em terra boa: deram frutos, cem por um, sessenta por um, trinta por um.

9 Aquele que tem ouvidos, 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.
