2AndG2532 he taughtG1321 themG846 many thingsG4183 byG1722 parablesG3850, andG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846 inG1722 hisG846 doctrineG3588G1322, 3HearkenG191; BeholdG3708, there went outG1831 a sowerG4687 to sowG4687: 4AndG2532 it came to passG1096, asG1722 he sowedG4687, someG3739G3303 fellG4098 byG3844 the way sideG3588G3598, andG2532 the fowlsG3588G4071 of the airG3588G3772 cameG2064 andG2532 devouredG2719 itG846 upG2719. 5AndG1161 someG243 fellG4098 onG1909 stony groundG4075, whereG3699 it hadG2192 notG3756 muchG4183 earthG1093; andG2532 immediatelyG2112 it sprang upG1816, becauseG1223 it hadG2192 noG3361 depthG899 of earthG1093: 6ButG1161 whenG393 the sunG2246 was upG393, it was scorchedG2739; andG2532 becauseG1223 it hadG2192 noG3361 rootG4491, it withered awayG3583. 7AndG2532 someG243 fellG4098 amongG1519 thornsG3588G173, andG2532 the thornsG3588G173 grew upG305, andG2532 chokedG4846 itG846, andG2532 it yieldedG1325 noG3756 fruitG2590. 8AndG2532 otherG243 fellG4098 onG1519 goodG3588G2570 groundG3588G1093, andG2532 did yieldG1325 fruitG2590 that sprang upG305 andG2532 increasedG837; andG2532 brought forthG5342, someG1520 thirtyG5144, andG2532 someG1520 sixtyG1835, andG2532 someG1520 an hundredG1540. 9AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, He that hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191. 10AndG1161 whenG3753 he wasG1096 aloneG2651, they that were aboutG4012 himG846 withG4862 the twelveG1427 askedG2065 of himG846 the parableG3588G3850. 11AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, Unto youG4771 it is givenG1325 to knowG1097 the mysteryG3588G3466 of the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316: butG1161 unto themG1565 that are withoutG1854, allG3956 these thingsG3956 are doneG1096 inG1722 parablesG3850: 12ThatG2443 seeingG991 they may seeG991, andG2532 notG3361 perceiveG3708; andG2532 hearingG191 they may hearG191, andG2532 notG3361 understandG4920; lest at any timeG3379 they should be convertedG1994, andG2532 their sinsG3588G265 should be forgivenG863 themG846. 13AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, Know yeG1492 notG3756 thisG3778 parableG3588G3850? andG2532 how thenG4459 will ye knowG1097 allG3956 parablesG3588G3850?
14The sowerG4687 sowethG4687 the wordG3588G3056. 15AndG1161 theseG3778 are theyG1510 byG3844 the way sideG3588G3598, whereG3699 the wordG3588G3056 is sownG4687; butG2532 whenG3752 they have heardG191, SatanG3588G4567 comethG2064 immediatelyG2112, andG2532 taketh awayG142 the wordG3588G3056 that was sownG4687 inG1722 theirG846 heartsG3588G2588. 16AndG2532 theseG3778 are theyG1510 likewiseG3668 which are sownG4687 onG1909 stony groundG4075; whoG3739, whenG3752 they have heardG191 the wordG3588G3056, immediatelyG2112 receiveG2983 itG846 withG3326 gladnessG5479; 17AndG2532 haveG2192 noG3756 rootG4491 inG1722 themselvesG1438, and soG235 endureG1510 butG235 for a timeG4340: afterwardG1534, whenG1096 afflictionG2347 orG2228 persecutionG1375 arisethG1096 forG1223 the word’s sakeG3588G3056, immediatelyG2112 they are offendedG4624. 18AndG2532 theseG3778 are theyG1510 which are sownG3588G4687 amongG1519 thornsG3588G173; such as hearG3588G191 the wordG3588G3056, 19AndG2532 the caresG3588G3308 of thisG3778 worldG3588G165, andG2532 the deceitfulnessG3588G539 of richesG3588G4149, andG2532 the lustsG1939 ofG4012 other thingsG3062 entering inG1531, chokeG4846 the wordG3588G3056, andG2532 it becomethG1096 unfruitfulG175. 20AndG2532 theseG3778 areG1510 they which are sownG3588G4687 onG1909 goodG3588G2570 groundG3588G1093; such asG3748 hearG191 the wordG3588G3056, andG2532 receiveG3858 it, andG2532 bring forth fruitG2592, someG1520 thirtyfoldG5144, someG1520 sixtyG1835, andG2532 someG1520 an hundredG1540.
