Matthew 13:1-6

1 The same day, Jesus went out of the house and sat by the seaside.

2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto Him, so that He went into a boat and sat, and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

3 And He spoke many things unto them in parables, saying, "Behold, a sower went forth to sow.

4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside; and the fowls came and devoured them up.

5 Some fell upon stony places where they had not much earth; and forthwith they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth.

6 And when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.
