Mark 4:3-8

3“Listen! A sower went out to sow seed;

4and as he was sowing, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and ate it up.

5Other seed fell on rocks where there was not much soil; and immediately a plant sprang up because the soil had no depth.

6And when the sun came up, the plant was scorched; and because it had no root, it dried up and withered away.

7Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no grain.

8And other seed fell into good soil, and as the plants grew and increased, they yielded a crop and produced thirty, sixty, and a hundred times [as much as had been sown].”
