Matthew 13:1-9 (English Standard Version)
View In My BibleThe Parable of the Sower
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. 7 Other seeds fell among 7thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. 8 Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some 8a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 9He who has ears,a let him hear."The English Standard Version is published with the permission of Good News Publishers.
