Mark 4:3-9 ▼

3 “Listen, behold, the sower went forth to sow;

4 and it came to pass, in the sowing, some fell by the way, and the birds of the sky came and devoured it;

5 and other fell on the rocky ground, where it did not have much earth, and immediately it sprang forth, because of having no depth of earth,

6 and the sun having risen, it was scorched, and because of having no root it withered;

7 and other fell toward the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it gave no fruit;

8 and other fell to the good ground, and was giving fruit, coming up and increasing, and it was bearing, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one a hundred.”

9 And He said to them, “He who is having ears to hear—let him hear.”
