3 And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: Behold, a sower went out to sow.

4 And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them.

5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth.

6 And when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.

7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them.

8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: this indeed a hundredfold, that sixty, that thirty.

9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

3 E falou-lhe de muitas coisas por parábolas, dizendo: Eis que o semeador saiu a semear. 4 E, quando semeava, uma parte da semente caiu ao pé do caminho, e vieram as aves, e comeram-na; 5 E outra parte caiu em pedregais, onde não havia terra bastante, e logo nasceu, porque não tinha terra funda; 6 Mas, vindo o sol, queimou-se, e secou-se, porque não tinha raiz. 7 E outra caiu entre espinhos, e os espinhos cresceram, e sufocaram-na. 8 E outra caiu em boa terra, e deu fruto: um a cem, outro a sessenta e outro a trinta. 9 Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir, ouça.
