Read Matthew 13 in full →2And 1large crowds gathered to Him, so aHe got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd was standing on the beach.
3And He spoke many things to them in aparables, saying, “Behold, the sower went out to sow; 4and as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up. 5“And others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil. 6“But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7“And others fell 1among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out. 8“And others fell on the good soil and were yielding 1a crop, some a ahundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty. 9“aHe who has ears, 1let him hear.”
