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. 9 ⁱHe who has ears, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts add here and in verse 43 to hear} let him hear.”

The Parable of the Sower

4 ^lAnd when a great crowd was gathering and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable, 5 ^m“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, ⁿit withered away, because it had no moisture. 7 And some fell among ^othorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it. 8 And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded ^pa hundredfold.” As he said these things, he called out, ^q“He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
