3 Ed egli insegnò loro molte cose in parabole, dicendo:

4 Ecco, il seminatore uscì a seminare. E mentre seminava, una parte del seme cadde lungo la strada; gli uccelli vennero e la mangiarono.

5 E unaltra cadde ne luoghi rocciosi ove non avea molta terra; e subito spuntò, perché non avea terreno profondo;

6 ma, levatosi il sole, fu riarsa; e perché non avea radice, si seccò.

7 E unaltra cadde sulle spine; e le spine crebbero e laffogarono.

8 E unaltra cadde nella buona terra e portò frutto, dando qual cento, qual sessanta, qual trenta per uno.

9 Chi ha orecchi da udire oda.

3 He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, "Behold, a farmer went out to sow. 4 As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them. 5 Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth. 6 When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away. 7 Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them. 8 Others fell on good soil and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
