Matthew 13:3-14
3And He toldG2980 them manyG4183 thingsG4183 in 1parablesG3850, sayingG3004, “BeholdG2400, the sowerG4687 wentG1831 outG1831 to sowG4687; 4and as he sowedG4687, someG3739G3303 seeds fellG4098 besideG3844 the roadG3598, and the birdsG4071 cameG2064 and ateG2719 them upG2719. 5OthersG243 fellG4098 on the rockyG4075 places, whereG3699 they did not haveG2192 muchG4183 soilG1093; and they sprangG1816 upG1816 immediatelyG2112, becauseG1223 they hadG2192 noG3361 depthG899 of soilG1093. 6But after the sunG2246 roseG393, they were scorchedG2739; and becauseG1223 they hadG2192 noG3361 rootG4491, they witheredG3583 awayG3583. 7OthersG243 fellG4098 2amongG1909 the thornsG173, and the thornsG173 cameG305 upG305 and chokedG638 them out. 8But othersG243 fellG4098 on the goodG2570 soilG1093 and yieldedG1325 a cropG2590, someG3739G3303 a 3hundredG1540, someG3739 sixtyG1835, and someG3739 thirtyG5144 times as much. 94The one who hasG2192 earsG3775, 5let him hearG191.”
10And the disciplesG3101 cameG4334 upG4334 and saidG3004 to Him, “WhyG1223G5101 do You speakG2980 to them in parablesG3850?” 11And 6Jesus answeredG611 them, “7To you it has been grantedG1325 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772, but to them it has not been grantedG1325. 128For whoeverG3748 hasG2192, to him more shall be givenG1325, and he will haveG4052 anG4052 abundanceG4052; but whoeverG3748 does not haveG2192, evenG2532 whatG3739 he hasG2192 shall be takenG142 awayG142 from him. 13ThereforeG1223G3778 I speakG2980 to them in parablesG3850; becauseG3754 while 9seeingG991 they do not seeG991, and while hearingG191 they do not hearG191, norG3761 do they understandG4920. 14And 10in their case the prophecyG4394 of IsaiahG2268 is being fulfilledG378, which saysG3004, ‘1112You shall keepG189 on listeningG191, 13but shall not understandG4920; And 14you shall keepG991 on lookingG991, 15but shall not perceiveG3708;
