3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed.
4 And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them.
4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth.
5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.
6 But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.
6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.
8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.
9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"
9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.”
