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."

3 E falou-lhes muitas coisas por parábolas, dizendo: Eis que o semeador saiu a semear.

4 e quando semeava, uma parte da semente caiu à beira do caminho, e vieram as aves e comeram.

5 E outra parte caiu em lugares pedregosos, onde não havia muita terra: e logo nasceu, porque não tinha terra profunda;

6 mas, saindo o sol, queimou-se e, por não ter raiz, secou-se.

7 E outra caiu entre espinhos; e os espinhos cresceram e a sufocaram.

8 Mas outra caiu em boa terra, e dava fruto, um a cem, outro a sessenta e outro a trinta por um.

9 Quem tem ouvidos, ouça.
