3 Listen. Behold, the man who sows went forth to sow.

4 And it came to pass during the sowing, some fell by the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5 And others fell on the rocky ground where it had not much soil. And straightaway it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.

6 And when the sun was risen it was scorched, and because it had no root it dried out.

7 And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it gave no fruit.

8 And others fell into the good ground and gave fruit, coming up and increasing, and brought forth, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.

9 And he said, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

3 Herken to. Beholde There wet out a sower to sowe.

4 And it fortuned as he sowed that some fell by the waye syde and the fowles of the ayre came and devoured it vp.

5 Some fell on stony grounde where it had not moche erth: and by and by sprange vp because it had not deepth of erth:

6 but as sone as the sunne was vp it caught heet and because it had not rotynge wyddred awaye.

7 And some fell amonge the thornes and the thornes grewe vp and choked it so that it gave no frute.

8 And some fell vpon good grounde and dyd yelde frute that sproge and grewe and brought forthe: some thirty folde some sixtie folde and some an hundred folde.

9 And he sayde vnto them: he that hath eares to heare let him heare.
