Matthew 13:4-8

4As he was scattering the seed, some seeds fell by the road; and the birds came and ate them up.

5Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil. They sprang up immediately, because the soil wasn’t deep.

6But when the sun came up, they were scorched; and because they had no roots, they withered away.

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

8But others fell on good soil and were producing fruit. They yielded a crop—some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
