Matthew 13:1-9 ▼

1 On that day Jesus having come out from the house, was sitting by the sea:

2 and many multitudes were gathered unto Him, so that having gone into a ship, He sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

3 And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold a sower went out to sow.

4 And while he was sowing, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and ate them up.

5 And others fell among stones, where they had not much earth: and sprang up immediately, because they had no depth of earth:

6 and the sun having risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

7 But others fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up and choked them.

8 But others fell in good ground, and gave fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty.

9 Let him that hath ears to hear, hear.
