The Parable of the Sower

4 And [while] a large crowd was gathering and [they] were going to him from town [after town], he spoke by means of a parable:
5 "The sower went out to sow his seed, and while he was sowing, {some seed} fell on the side of the path and was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 And other [seed] fell on the rock, and [when it] came up, it withered, because it did not have moisture.
7 And other [seed] fell in the midst of the thorn plants, and the thorn plants grew up with [it] [and] choked it.
8 And other [seed] fell on the good soil, and [when it] came up, it produced a hundred times as much grain." [As he] said these [things], he called out, "The one who has ears to hear, let him hear!"
