4 And when a very great multitude was gathered together and hastened out of the cities, unto him, he spoke by a similitude.
5 The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the way side. And it was trodden down: and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 And other some fell upon a rock. And as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 And other some fell among thorns. And the thorns growing up with it, choked it.
8 And other some fell upon good ground and, being sprung up, yielded fruit a hundredfold. Saying these things, he cried out: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.
10 To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see and hearing may not understand.
