Matthew 13:3-9

Lamsa(i) 3 And he spoke many things to them in parables, and said, Behold the sower went out to sow; 4 And when he had sown, some seed fell on the roadside, and the fowls came and ate it. 5 Other fell upon the rock, where there was not sufficient soil; and it sprang up earlier because the ground was not deep enough; 6 But when the sun shone, it was scorched, and because it had no root, it dried up; 7 And other fell among thistles, and the thistles sprung up and choked it. 8 And other fell in good soil, and bore fruit, some one hundred, and some sixty, and some thirty. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
