3 Ouvi: Saiu o semeador a semear.

4 Enquanto lançava a semente, uma parte caiu à beira do caminho, e vieram as aves e a comeram.

5 Outra parte caiu no pedregulho, onde não havia muita terra; o grão germinou logo, porque a terra não era profunda;

6 mas, assim que o sol despontou, queimou-se e, como não tivesse raiz, secou.

7 Outra parte caiu entre os espinhos; estes cresceram, sufocaram-na e o grão não deu fruto.

8 Outra caiu em terra boa e deu fruto, cresceu e desenvolveu-se; um grão rendeu trinta, outro sessenta e outro cem.

9 E dizia: Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça!

3 Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow: 4 and it came to pass, as he sowed, some seed fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it. 5 And other fell on the rocky ground, where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth: 6 and when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 And other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8 And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold. 9 And he said, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
