Matthew 13:3-9

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 3 And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow, 4 and as he sowed, some seed fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them; 5 and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth; and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth; 6 and when the sun was risen, they were scorched, and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 And others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them; 8 and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
