3 Behold, a sower went out to sow.

4 And as he sowed, some fell by the way-side, and the birds of the air came and devoured it.

5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprung up, because it had no depth of earth.

6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched, and because it had no root, it withered away.

7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

8 And other fell on good ground, and yielded fruit springing up and increasing, and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

9 And he said, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

3 — Escutem! Certo homem saiu para semear. 4 E, quando estava espalhando as sementes, algumas caíram na beira do caminho, e os passarinhos comeram tudo. 5 Outra parte das sementes caiu num lugar onde havia muitas pedras e pouca terra. As sementes brotaram logo porque a terra não era funda. 6 Mas, quando o sol apareceu, queimou as plantas, e elas secaram porque não tinham raízes. 7 Outras sementes caíram no meio de espinhos, que cresceram e sufocaram as plantas. Por isso nada produziram. 8 Mas as sementes que caíram em terra boa brotaram, cresceram e produziram na base de trinta, sessenta e até cem grãos por um.

9 E Jesus terminou, dizendo:

— Se vocês têm ouvidos para ouvir, então ouçam.
