The Sower
Mat 13:3 And he spake to them many things in
parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow;
Mat 13:4 and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came
and devoured them:
Mat 13:5 and others fell upon the rocky places,
where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had
no deepness of earth:
Mat 13:6 and when the sun was risen, they were
scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
Mat 13:7 And others fell upon the thorns; and
the thorns grew up and choked them:
Mat 13:8 and others fell upon the good ground,
and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
