Mark 4:3-9 ▼

3 Hear me! Behold, a sower went out to sow;

4 and it came to pass as he sowed, some fell by the road side, and the birds of the air came and ate it up.

5 And some fell on a rocky soil, where it had not much mold, and immediately it sprung up, because it had no depth of earth:

6 and when the sun arose it was scorched up; and because it had not root, it withered away.

7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it, and it produced no fruit.

8 And some fell on good ground, and produced fruit, growing up, and increasing, and yielded one part thirty fold, and another sixty, and another an hundred.

9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
