Hearken, behold, there went out a sower to sow.

Mark 4:3 In-Context

1 And He began again to teach by the seaside. And there was gathered unto Him a great multitude, so that He entered into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

2 And He taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in His doctrine:

3 "Hearken! Behold, there went out a sower to sow.

4 And it came to pass as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

5 And some fell on stony ground where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth.
