Matthew 13:1-6

1 That same day Jesus went out of the house ¹and sat beside the sea.

2 And great crowds gathered about him, ²so that he got into a boat and sat down. And the whole crowd stood on the beach.

3 And ³he told them many things in parables, saying: ⁴"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, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil,

6 but ⁵when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, ⁶they withered away.
