Matthew 13:2-9
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.”
