Luke 8:4-8

International Children’s Bible

A Story About Planting Seed

⁴ A great crowd gathered. People were coming to Jesus from every town. He told them this story:

⁵ “A farmer went out to plant his seed. While he was planting, some seed fell beside the road. People walked on the seed, and the birds ate all this seed. ⁶ Some seed fell on rock. It began to grow but then died because it had no water. ⁷ Some seed fell among thorny weeds. This seed grew, but later the weeds choked the good plants. ⁸ And some seed fell on good ground. This seed grew and made 100 times more grain.”

Jesus finished the story. Then he called out, “Let those with ears use them and listen!”
