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

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

5 Some fell on 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 other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundred times, some sixty times, some thirty times.

9 Who has ears to hear, let him hear.

3 Ed egli ragionava loro molte cose, in parabole, dicendo: Ecco, un seminatore uscì fuori a seminare.

4 E mentre egli seminava, una parte della semenza cadde lungo la strada, e gli uccelli vennero, e la mangiarono tutta.

5 Ed un’altra cadde in luoghi pietrosi, ove non avea molta terra, e subito nacque, perciocchè non avea profondo terreno;

6 ma, essendo levato il sole, fu riarsa; e, perciocchè non avea radice, si seccò.

7 Ed un’altra cadde sopra le spine, e le spine crebbero, e l’affogarono.

8 Ed un’altra cadde in buona terra, e portò frutto, qual granel cento, qual sessanta, qual trenta.

9 Chi ha orecchie da udire, oda.
