Matthew 13:3-9 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
3
Then he told them many things in parables, saying: "A farmer went out to sow his seed.
4
As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
5
Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.
6
But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
7
Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.
8
Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop--a hundred,1 sixty or thirty times what was sown.
9
He who has ears, let him hear."2
