Matthew 13:3-9

Williams(i) 3 And in stories, by way of comparison, He told them many things, as He continued to speak: "A sower went out to sow, 4 and as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate them up, 5 and some fell upon rocky ground where they did not have much soil, and at once they sprang up, because there was no depth of soil, 6 and when the sun was up they were scorched and dried up, because they had no root. 7 And some fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them out. 8 And some fell in rich soil, and yielded a crop, some a hundred, some sixty, some thirty-fold. 9 Let him who has ears listen."
