Luke 8:4-8

The Parable of the Sower

4 ¹And when a great crowd was gathering and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable:

5 ²"A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the air devoured it.

6 And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, ³it withered away, because it had no moisture.

7 And some fell among ⁴thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.

8 And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded ⁵a hundredfold." As he said these things, he called out, ⁶"He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
