Matthew 13:1-9

The Parable of the Sower

1 That same day Jesus went out of the house ^aand sat beside the sea.

2 And great crowds gathered about him ^bso that he got into a boat and sat down. And the whole crowd stood on the beach.

3 And ^che told them many things in parables, saying: ^d“A sower went out to sow.

4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.

5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil,

6 but ^ewhen the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root ^fthey withered away.

7 Other seeds fell among ^gthorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.

8 Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some ^ha hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Luke 8:4-8

The Parable of the Sower

4 ^kAnd when a great crowd was gathering and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable,

5 ^l“A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the air devoured it.

6 And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up ^mit withered away, because it had no moisture.

7 And some fell among ⁿthorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.

8 And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded ^oa hundredfold.” As he said these things, he called out, ^p“He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
