Matthew 13: 1 - 9
|
| 1
|
That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.
|
| 2
|
And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat there; and the whole crowd stood on the beach.
|
| 3
|
And he told them many things in parables, saying: "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 had not much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil,
|
| 6
|
but when the sun rose they were scorched; and since they had no root they withered away.
|
| 7
|
Other seeds fell upon thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
|
| 8
|
Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
|
| 9
|
He who has ears, let him hear."
