Matthew 13:3-8

3 And ¹he told them many things in parables, saying: ²“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 ³when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, ⁴they withered away.

7 Other seeds fell among ⁵thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.

8 Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some ⁶a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
