3
He told many stories in the form of parables, such as this one: “Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seeds.
4
As he scattered them across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate them.
5
Other seeds fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seeds sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow.
6
But the plants soon wilted under the hot sun, and since they didn’t have deep roots, they died.
7
Other seeds fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants.
8
Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted!
9
Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”
