Moffatt(i)
3 He spoke at some length to them in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow,
4 and as he sowed some seeds fell on the road and the birds came and ate them up.
5 Some other seeds fell on stony soil where they had not much earth, and shot up at once because they had no depth of soil;
6 but when the sun rose they got scorched and withered away because they had no root.
7 Some other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them.
8 Some other seeds fell on good soil and bore a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirtyfold.
9 He who has an ear, let him listen to this."
