3 Hear ye. Lo! a man sowing goeth out to sow [or a sower went out to sow].
4 And while he soweth, some seed felled about [or beside] the way, and [the] birds of heaven [or of the air], came, and ate it.
5 Other felled down on stony places, where it had not much earth; and anon it sprang up, for it had not [or no] deepness of earth.
6 And when the sun rose up, it withered for heat, and it dried up, for it had no root.
7 And other felled down into thorns, and [the] thorns sprang up, and strangled it, and it gave no fruit.
8 And other felled down into good land, and gave fruit, springing up, and waxing; and one brought thirty-fold, and one sixtyfold, and one an hundredfold.
9 And he said, He that hath ears of hearing, hear he, [or He that hath ears to hear, hear].
