Matthew 13:1-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

13 The same day Jesus going out of the house, sat by the sea side.

² And great multitudes were gathered unto him, so that he went up into a boat and sat: and all the multitude stood on the shore.

³ And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold the sower went forth to sow.

⁴ And whilst he soweth some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate them up.

⁵ And other some fell upon stony ground, where they had not much earth: and they sprung up immediately, because they had no deepness of earth.

⁶ And when the sun was up they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away.

⁷ And others fell among thorns: and the thorns grew up and choked them.

⁸ And others fell upon good ground: and they brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold.

⁹ He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
