Matthew 13:2-9

Living_Oracles(i) 2 but so great a multitude flocked about him, that he went into a bark, and sat down there, while all the people stood on the shore. 3 Then he discoursed to them of many things in parables. 4 The sower, said he, went out to sow; and, in sowing, some seeds fell by the way-side, and the birds came and picked them up: 5 some fell on rocky ground, where they had but little earth: these sprang up the sooner, because the soil had no depth: 6 but after the sun had beat upon them, they were scorched, and having no root, withered away. 7 Some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked them. 8 Others fell into good ground, and yielded increase, some a hundred, some sixty, some thirty fold. 9 Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.
