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 to them many things in similes, saying: Lo, the sower went forth to sow,

4 and in his sowing, some indeed fell by the way, and the fowls did come and devour them,

5 and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth, and immediately they sprang forth, through not having depth of earth,

6 and the sun having risen they were scorched, and through not having root, they withered,

7 and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns did come up and choke them,

8 and others fell upon the good ground, and were giving fruit, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty.

9 He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear.
