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."
10
The disciples came, and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
