Matthew 13:2-9

Murdock(i) 2 And great multitudes assembled around him; so that he embarked and seated himself in a ship, and all the multitude stood on the shore of the sea. 3 An he discoursed with them much, by similitudes. And he said, Behold, a sower went forth to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell upon the side of a path: and a bird came and devoured it. 5 And other seed fell upon a rock, so that it had not much soil: and it sprung up forthwith, because there was no depth of earth. 6 But when the sun was up it wilted. And, because it lacked root, it dried up. 7 And other seed fell among thorns: and the thorns shot up, and choked it. 8 And other seed fell on good ground; and bore fruits, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold. 9 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
