Matthew 13:5-10

5Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil. 6But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7Others fell 1among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out. 8And others fell on the good soil and yielded a crop, some a 2hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty. 93He who has ears, 4let him hear.”

10And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
