Matthew 13:3-9 ▼

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

4 As he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate them up.

5 Others fell on rocky ground, where there wasn’t much soil, and they sprang up quickly since the soil wasn’t deep.

6 But when the sun came up they were scorched, and since they had no root, they withered.

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

8 Still others fell on good ground and produced a crop: some 100, some 60, and some 30 times what was sown.

9 Anyone who has ears should listen!”
