3 Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow: 4 and it came to pass, as he sowed, some seed fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it. 5 And other fell on the rocky ground, where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth: 6 and when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 And other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8 And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold. 9 And he said, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

3 — Escutem! Certo homem saiu para semear. 4 E, quando estava espalhando as sementes, algumas caíram na beira do caminho, e os passarinhos comeram tudo. 5 Outra parte das sementes caiu num lugar onde havia muitas pedras e pouca terra. As sementes brotaram logo porque a terra não era funda. 6 Mas, quando o sol apareceu, queimou as plantas, e elas secaram porque não tinham raízes. 7 Outras sementes caíram no meio de espinhos, que cresceram e sufocaram as plantas. Por isso nada produziram. 8 Mas as sementes que caíram em terra boa brotaram, cresceram e produziram na base de trinta, sessenta e até cem grãos por um.

9 E Jesus terminou, dizendo:

— Se vocês têm ouvidos para ouvir, então ouçam.
