5 Went out the sower of the sow the seed of himself; and in the sowing it, this indeed fell by the path; and it was trodden down, and the birds of the heaven ate it.

6 And another fell on the rock; and having sprung up it dried up, through the not to have moisture.

7 And another fell in midst of the thorns; and having sprung up with the thorns they chocked it.

8 And another fell in the ground the good; and having sprung up bore fruit a hundredfold. These things having said, he cried: He having ears to hear, let him hear.

9 Asked and him the disciples of him, saying what may be the parable this.

10 He and said: To you it is given to know the secrets of the kingdom of the God; to the but others in parables; that seeing not they may see, and hearing not they may understand.

11 Is now this the parable: The seed, is the word of the God.

12 Those and by the path, are those hearing; then comes the accuser, and takes away the word from the heart of them, so that not having believed they may be saved.

13 They and on the rock, who, when they may hear, with joy receives the word; and these a root not they have, who for a season will believe, and in a season of temptation fall away.

14 That and into the thorns having fallen, these are they having heard, and by anxious cares and riches and pleasures of the life going forth are choked, and not bear fruit to perfection.
