Matthew 13:4-6

The Voice

⁴ One day he walked in a field scattering seeds as he went. Some seeds fell beside a road, and a flock of birds came and ate all those seeds. ⁵ So the sower scattered seeds in a field, one with shallow soil and strewn with rocks. But the seeds grew quickly amid all the rocks, ⁶ without rooting themselves in the shallow soil. Their roots got tangled up in all the stones. The sun scorched these seeds, and they died.
