1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto Him, so that He went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 And He spake many things unto them in parables, saying, “Behold, a sower went forth to sow;”
4 “And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:”
5 “Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:”
6 “And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.”
7 “And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:”
8 “But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.”
9 “Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
