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.

3 他用比喻对众人讲了许多事， 说： "有一个撒种的出去撒种。

4 撒的时候， 有的落在路旁， 小鸟飞来就吃掉了。

5 有的落在泥土不多的石地上， 因为泥土不深， 很快就长起来。

6 但太阳一出来， 就把它晒干， 又因为没有根就枯萎了。

7 有的落在荆棘里， 荆棘长大了， 就把它挤住。

8 有的落在好土里， 结出果实， 有一百倍的， 有六十倍的， 有三十倍的。

9 有耳的， 就应当听。"
