Matthew 13:3-8 ▼

3 And He told them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, the sower went out to sow;

4 and as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up.

5 Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and they sprang up immediately, because they had no depth of soil.

6 But after the sun rose, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

7 Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out.

8 But others fell on the good soil and yielded a crop, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty times as much.
