Matthew 13:3-11

Godbey(i) 3 And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold a sower went out to sow. 4 And while he was sowing, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and ate them up. 5 And others fell among stones, where they had not much earth: and sprang up immediately, because they had no depth of earth: 6 and the sun having risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 But others fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up and choked them. 8 But others fell in good ground, and gave fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty. 9 Let him that hath ears to hear, hear. 10 And His disciples coming, said to Him; Wherefore do you speak to them in parables? 11 He responding said to them, Because it has been given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it has not been given.
