Matthew 13:3-8 ▼

3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying, “Consider the sower who went out to sow.

4 As he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.

5 Other seed fell on rocky ground where it didn’t have much soil, and it grew up quickly since the soil wasn’t deep.

6 But when the sun came up, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away.

7 Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it.

8 Still other seed fell on good ground and produced fruit: some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty times what was sown.
