3 Muitas coisas lhes falou em parábolas, dizendo: O semeador saiu a semear.

4 Quando semeava, uma parte da semente caiu à beira do caminho, e vieram as aves e comeram-na.

5 Outra parte caiu nos lugares pedregosos, onde não havia muita terra; logo nasceu, porque a terra não era profunda,

6 e tendo saído o sol, queimou-se; e porque não tinha raiz, secou-se.

7 Outra caiu entre os espinhos, e os espinhos cresceram e a sufocaram.

8 Outra caiu na boa terra e dava fruto, havendo grãos que rendiam cem, outros sessenta, outros trinta por um.

9 Quem tem ouvidos, ouça.

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.
