4	And in his sowing, some indeed fell along the path, and the birds, having come, devoured them.	And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.	As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
5	And others fell upon the rocky places, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up because of it not having depth of soil.	Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil,	Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.
6	And the sun having risen, they were scorched, and because of not having root, they withered.	but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away.	But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
7	And others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them.	Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.	Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.
8	And others fell upon the good soil and were giving fruit—some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty.	Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.	Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.
9	The one having ears, let him hear.”	He who has ears, let him hear.”	Whoever has ears, let them hear.”
