3 He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, "Behold, a farmer went out to sow. 4 As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them. 5 Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth. 6 When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away. 7 Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them. 8 Others fell on good soil and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

3 他用比喻对众人讲了许多事， 说： "有一个撒种的出去撒种。

4 撒的时候， 有的落在路旁， 小鸟飞来就吃掉了。

5 有的落在泥土不多的石地上， 因为泥土不深， 很快就长起来。

6 但太阳一出来， 就把它晒干， 又因为没有根就枯萎了。

7 有的落在荆棘里， 荆棘长大了， 就把它挤住。

8 有的落在好土里， 结出果实， 有一百倍的， 有六十倍的， 有三十倍的。

9 有耳的， 就应当听。"
