3 E de muitas coisas lhes falou por parábolas, dizendo:

— Eis que o semeador saiu a semear. 4 E, ao semear, uma parte caiu à beira do caminho, e, vindo as aves, a comeram. 5 Outra parte caiu em solo rochoso, onde a terra era pouca, e logo nasceu, visto não ser profunda a terra. 6 Saindo, porém, o sol, a queimou; e, porque não tinha raiz, secou-se. 7 Outra parte caiu entre os espinhos; e os espinhos cresceram e a sufocaram. 8 Outra, enfim, caiu em boa terra e deu fruto: a cem, a sessenta e a trinta por um. 9 Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça.

3 And he spake unto them many things, in parables, saying: Lo! the sower went forth to sow,

4 and, as he sowed, some, indeed, fell by the pathway, and, the birds, came, and devoured it;

5 And, some, fell on the rocky places, where it had not much earth,and, straightway, it sprang up, because if had no depth of earth;

6 and, the sun arising, it was scorched, and, because it had no root, it withered away;

7 And, some, fell upon the thorns, and the thorns came up, and choked it;

8 But, some, fell upon the good ground, and did yield fruit,this, indeed a hundred fold, and, that, sixty, and, the other, thirty.

9 He that hath ears, let him hear.
