1 And He began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto Him a great multitude, so that He entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
2 And He taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in His doctrine,
3 “Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:”
4 “And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.”
5 “And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:”
6 “But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.”
7 “And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.”
8 “And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.”
9 And He said unto them, “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
