2 And (a)large crowds gathered to Him, so (A)He got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd was standing on the beach.
3 And He spoke many things to them in (B)parables, saying, “Behold, the sower went out to sow; 4 and as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up. 5 Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil. 6 But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 Others fell (b)among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out. 8 And others fell on the good soil and *yielded a crop, some a (C)hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty. 9 (D)He who has ears, (c)let him hear.”
