Matthew 13:2-9

2And great crowds were gathered together to him, so that going on board ship himself he sat down, and the whole crowd stood on the shore.

3And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went out to sow:

4and as he sowed, some [grains] fell along the way, and the birds came and devoured them;

5and others fell upon the rocky places where they had not much earth, and immediately they sprang up out of [the ground] because of not having [any] depth of earth,

6but when the sun rose they were burned up, and because of not having [any] root were dried up;

7and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them;

8and others fell upon the good ground, and produced fruit, one a hundred, one sixty, and one thirty.

9He that has ears, let him hear.
