3 E falou-lhe de muitas coisas por parábolas, dizendo: Eis que o semeador saiu a semear.

4 E, quando semeava, uma parte da semente caiu junto ao caminho, e vieram as aves, e comeram-na;

5 E outra parte caiu em pedregais, onde não havia terra bastante, e logo nasceu, porque não tinha terra funda;

6 Mas, vindo o sol, queimou-se, e secou-se, porque não tinha raiz.

7 E outra caiu entre espinhos, e os espinhos cresceram e sufocaram-na.

8 E outra caiu em boa terra, e deu fruto: um a cem, outro a sessenta e outro a trinta.

9 Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça.

3 And he spoke many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and immediately they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

8 But others fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

9 Who has ears to hear, let him hear.
