Matthew 13:3-9

3And he told them many things in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow.

4And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.

5Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil,

6but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away.

7Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.

8Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

9He who has ears, let him hear."
