A sower went out to sow. 4 As he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and ate them. 5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where there was not much soil. They sprouted quickly because the soil was not deep. 6 But when the sun rose, they were scorched, and since they had no roots, they withered away. 7 Other seeds fell among thorns, which grew up and choked them. 8 Still other seeds fell on good soil and yielded a crop—some one hundred, some sixty, and some thirty times what was sown. 9 Let anyone who has ears listen.
