And some fell among thorns; and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. And some fell on good ground, and produced fruit, growing up and increasing, and bore one thirty, one sixty, and one a hundred. And he said, He that has ears, let him hear.

Jesus Christ » History of » Parable of the sower (at lake galilee)
AND on that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. And great multitudes came together to him; and he went into the ship and sat down; and all the multitude stood on the shore. And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying; Behold, a sower went out to sow; read more.
and as he sowed, some fell by the way, and the birds came and devoured it. And some fell on rocky places, where it had not much earth, and it came up immediately, because it had no depth of earth; and when the sun arose it was scorched, and because it had no root it was dried up. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it. But some fell on good ground, and bore fruit; some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty-fold. He that has ears let him hear. And his disciples came and said to him, Why do you speak to them in parables? And he answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given; for whoever has, to him shall be also given, and he shall abound; but whoever has not, from him shall be taken away even what he has. For this reason I speak to them in parables; because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says; Hearing you shall hear and not understand, and seeing you shall see and not perceive; for the hearts of this people have become hard, and they hear imperfectly with their ears, and their eyes have they closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. For I tell you truly, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see what you see and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear and have not heard it. Hear, therefore, the parable of the sower. When any one hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and takes away the seed sown in his heart. This is he that received seed by the way. He that received seed on the rocky places is he that hears the word and immediately receives it with joy but has no root in himself, but is only a temporary [disciple]; and when affliction or persecution arises on account of the word, he is immediately offended. And he that received seed among thorns is he that hears the word, and the cares of this life and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. But he that received the seed in the good ground is he that hears the word, and understands it, who also bears fruit, and produces some one hundred, and some sixty, and some thirty-fold.

AND again he taught by the lake; and a very great multitude came together to him, so that entering into a ship he sat on the lake, and all the multitude were by the lake on the land. And he taught them many things in parables, and said to them, in his teaching, Hear! behold a sower went out to sow; read more.
and in sowing, some fell on the way, and the birds came and devoured it. And some fell on a rocky place, where it had not much earth, and it came up immediately, because it had no depth of earth; and when the sun rose, it was scorched, and because it had no root it was dried up. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. And some fell on good ground, and produced fruit, growing up and increasing, and bore one thirty, one sixty, and one a hundred. And he said, He that has ears, let him hear. And when he was alone, those about him, with the twelve, asked him the parable. And he said to them, To you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those without all things are in parables; that seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand, lest at any time they should turn, and be forgiven. And he said to them, Do you not know this parable? How then will you know all parables? The sower sows the word. And these are those where the word is sown by the way; and when they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word which was sown upon them. And these in like manner are those sown on the rocky places; when they hear the word, they immediately receive it with joy, and have no root in themselves, but are temporary [disciples]. Then, when affliction or persecution occurs on account of the word, they are immediately offended. And those sown among thorns are different. They are those who hear the word, and the cares of life, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires of other things coming in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. And these are those sown in good ground, who hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruit, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred. And he said to them, Does a light come to be put under a modius [1.916 gallon measure], or under a bed? and not to be put in a candlestick? For there is nothing hid that shall not be made manifest, nor any thing concealed that shall not come to light. If any one has ears to hear, let him hear. And he said to them, Consider what you hear. With what measure you measure it shall be measured to you, and more shall be given you. For whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, from him even what he has shall be taken away.

And a great multitude having come together, and persons having come to him from every city, he said in a parable, A sower went out to sow his seed; and in his sowing, some fell by the way, and was trodden down, and the birds of heaven devoured it; and some fell on the rock, and springing up it was dried up, because it had no moisture; read more.
and some fell in the midst of thorns, and the thorns springing up choked it; and some fell on good ground, and growing up bore fruit a hundred fold. Having said these things, he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear. And his disciples asked him, What does this parable mean? And he said, It is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to others in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

But that on the good ground signifies those who, with a noble and good heart, hearing the word retain it, and bear fruit persistently. But no one lights a candle and covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it in a candlestick, that those coming in may see the light. For there is nothing hid which shall not be manifest, nor concealed which shall not be known and come to light. See therefore how you hear; for whoever has, to him shall be given, and whoever has not, from him shall be taken away even what he seems to have.

and when the sun arose it was scorched, and because it had no root it was dried up. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it. But some fell on good ground, and bore fruit; some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty-fold. He that has ears let him hear.

AND again he taught by the lake; and a very great multitude came together to him, so that entering into a ship he sat on the lake, and all the multitude were by the lake on the land. And he taught them many things in parables, and said to them, in his teaching, Hear! behold a sower went out to sow; read more.
and in sowing, some fell on the way, and the birds came and devoured it. And some fell on a rocky place, where it had not much earth, and it came up immediately, because it had no depth of earth; and when the sun rose, it was scorched, and because it had no root it was dried up. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. And some fell on good ground, and produced fruit, growing up and increasing, and bore one thirty, one sixty, and one a hundred. And he said, He that has ears, let him hear. And when he was alone, those about him, with the twelve, asked him the parable. And he said to them, To you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those without all things are in parables; that seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand, lest at any time they should turn, and be forgiven. And he said to them, Do you not know this parable? How then will you know all parables? The sower sows the word. And these are those where the word is sown by the way; and when they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word which was sown upon them. And these in like manner are those sown on the rocky places; when they hear the word, they immediately receive it with joy, and have no root in themselves, but are temporary [disciples]. Then, when affliction or persecution occurs on account of the word, they are immediately offended. And those sown among thorns are different. They are those who hear the word, and the cares of life, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires of other things coming in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. And these are those sown in good ground, who hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruit, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.

And a great multitude having come together, and persons having come to him from every city, he said in a parable, A sower went out to sow his seed; and in his sowing, some fell by the way, and was trodden down, and the birds of heaven devoured it; and some fell on the rock, and springing up it was dried up, because it had no moisture; read more.
and some fell in the midst of thorns, and the thorns springing up choked it; and some fell on good ground, and growing up bore fruit a hundred fold. Having said these things, he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear. And his disciples asked him, What does this parable mean? And he said, It is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to others in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. But the parable signifies this; the seed is the word of God; those by the way are those who hear, then comes the devil and takes away the word from their hearts, that they may not believe and be saved; those on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy, and they have no root; they believe for a time, and in a time of trial fall away; and that which fell among thorns signifies those who hear, and going away are choked by cares and riches and the pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground signifies those who, with a noble and good heart, hearing the word retain it, and bear fruit persistently.
