Mark 4:2-9

²and he taught them many things in similes, and he said to them in his teaching:

³'Hearken, lo, the sower went forth to sow;

⁴and it came to pass, in the sowing, some fell by the way, and the fowls of the heaven did come and devour it;

⁵and other fell upon the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprang forth, because of not having depth of earth,

⁶and the sun having risen, it was scorched, and because of not having root it did wither;

⁷and other fell toward the thorns, and the thorns did come up, and choke it, and fruit it gave not;

⁸and other fell to the good ground, and was giving fruit, coming up and increasing, and it bare, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.'

⁹And he said to them, 'He who is having ears to hear — let him hear.'
