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.
3. And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a
sower went forth to sow;
4. And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way-side, and the fowls
came and devoured them up:
5. Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and
forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6. And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had
no root, they withered away.
7. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked
them:
8. But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some a
hundred-fold, some sixty-fold, some thirty-fold.
