Matthew 13:3-9 ▼

3 He told them many things in parables, saying: |Listen! A sower went out to sow.

4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.

5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground where they did not have much soil. They sprang up quickly because the soil was not deep.

6 But when the sun came up, they were scorched, and because they did not have sufficient root, they withered.

7 Other seeds fell among the thorns, and they grew up and choked them.

8 But other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.

9 The one who has ears had better listen!|
