Matthew 13:4-23

4and as he sowedG4687, some seeds fellG4098 by the wayG3598 side, and the birdsG4071 cameG2064 and devouredG2719 them: 5and othersG243 fellG4098 upon the rockyG4075 places, whereG3699 they had not muchG4183 earthG1093: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earthG1093: 6and when the sunG2246 was risen, they were scorchedG2739; and because they had no rootG4491, they witheredG3583 awayG3583. 7And othersG243 fellG4098 upon the thornsG173; and the thornsG173 grew up and choked them: 8and othersG243 fellG4098 upon the goodG2570 groundG1093, and yielded fruitG2590, some a hundredfoldG1540, some sixtyG1835, some thirtyG5144. 9He that hath earsG3775, let him hearG191.

10And the disciplesG3101 cameG4334, and saidG3004 unto him, WhyG5101 speakest thou unto them in parablesG3850? 11And he answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, Unto you it is givenG1325 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772, but to them it is not givenG1325. 12For whosoever hath, to him shall be givenG1325, and he shall have abundanceG4052: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be takenG142 awayG142 evenG2532 that which he hath. 13Therefore speakG2980 I to them in parablesG3850; because seeingG991 they seeG991 not, and hearingG191 they hearG191 not, neither do they understandG4920. 14And unto them is fulfilled the prophecyG4394 of IsaiahG2268, which saith,

16But blessed are your eyesG3788, for they seeG991; and your earsG3775, for they hearG191. 17For verily I sayG3004 unto you, that manyG4183 prophetsG4396 and righteousG1342 menG1342 desiredG1937 to seeG3708 the thingsG4183 which ye seeG3708, and sawG3708 them not; and to hearG191 the thingsG4183 which ye hearG191, and heardG191 them not. 18HearG191 thenG3767 ye the parableG3850 of the sower. 19When any oneG3778 heareth the wordG3056 of the kingdomG932, and understandeth it not, then cometh the evilG4190 oneG3778, and snatcheth awayG726 that which hath beenG1510 sownG4687 in his heartG2588. This isG1510 he that wasG1510 sownG4687 by the wayG3598 side. 20And he that wasG1510 sownG4687 upon the rockyG4075 places, this isG1510 he that heareth the wordG3056, and straightway with joyG5479 receiveth it; 21yet hath he not rootG4491 in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulationG2347 or persecutionG1375 ariseth because of the wordG3056, straightway he stumbleth. 22And he that wasG1510 sownG4687 among the thornsG173, this isG1510 he that heareth the wordG3056; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of richesG4149, chokeG4846 the wordG3056, and he becometh unfruitfulG175. 23And he that wasG1510 sownG4687 upon the goodG2570 groundG1093, this isG1510 he that heareth the wordG3056, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruitG2592, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfoldG1540, some sixtyG1835, some thirtyG5144.
