The Parable of the Sower
4 (A)And when a great crowd was gathering and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable, 5 (B)“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, (C)it withered away, because it had no moisture. 7 And some fell among (D)thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it. 8 And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded (E)a hundredfold.” As he said these things, he called out, (F)“He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
