Matthew 13:3-9
English Standard Version
3 And (A)he told them many things in parables, saying: (B)“A sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. 5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, 6 but (C)when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, (D)they withered away. 7 Other seeds fell among (E)thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. 8 Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some (F)a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 (G)He who has ears,[a] let him hear.”
