3 And he spake to them many things in parables, and said, Lo! he that soweth, went out to sow his seed.
4 And while he soweth, some seeds felled beside the way, and birds of the air came, and ate them.
5 But other seeds felled into stony places, where they had not much earth; and anon they sprung up, for they had not deepness of earth.
6 But when the sun was risen, they sweltered [or they burned for the heat], and for they had not root, they dried up.
7 And other seeds felled among thorns; and the thorns waxed up, and strangled them.
8 But other seeds felled into good land, and gave fruit; some an hundred-fold, another sixtyfold, another thirty-fold.
9 He that hath ears of hearing, hear he.
