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.

4 Ja hänen kylväessään osa putosi tien oheen, ja linnut tulivat ja söivät sen.

5 Ja osa putosi kallioperälle, jossa sillä ei ollut paljon maata, ja se nousi kohta oraalle, kun sillä ei ollut syvää maata.

6 Mutta auringon noustua se paahtui, ja kun sillä ei ollut juurta, niin se kuivettui.

7 Ja osa putosi orjantappuroihin; ja orjantappurat nousivat ja tukahuttivat sen, eikä se tehnyt hedelmää.
