'The parable of the sower

Back to 'Matthew

Mt 13:1: The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

Mt 13:2: And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

Mt 13:3: And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

Mt 13:4: And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

Mt 13:5: Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

Mt 13:6: And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

Mt 13:7: And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

Mt 13:8: But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

Mt 13:9: Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
