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.

3 And he spake many things unto 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 upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith 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 hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. 9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
