Matthew 13:1-9

Revised Geneva Translation

13 The same day, Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.

² And great multitudes gathered to Him, so that He went into a ship and sat down. And the whole multitude stood on the shore.

³ Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, “Behold, a sower went out to sow.

⁴ “And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside. And the birds came and devoured them.

⁵ “And some fell upon stony ground, where they did not have much earth. And soon they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.

⁶ “But when the sun came up, they were burnt up; and for lack of rooting, withered away.

⁷ “And some fell among thorns. And the thorns sprang up and choked them.

⁸ But some fell in good ground, and brought forth fruit; one corn a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and another thirtyfold.

⁹ “The one who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
