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.
