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.
