Matthew 13:4-9
English Standard Version
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 (A)when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, (B)they withered away. 7 Other seeds fell among (C)thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. 8 Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some (D)a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 (E)He who has ears,[a] let him hear.”
