4 and as he was sowing, some of the seed chanced to fall by the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
5 Some of it fell on rocky ground, and where there was not much soil, and it sprang up at once because the soil was not deep,
6 but when the sun came up, it was scorched, and withered up, because it had no root.

8 And some fell on good soil, and came up and grew and yielded thirty, sixty, even a hundredfold."
9 And he said, "Let him who has ears be sure to listen!"
