1. The same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea side.
2. And a great multitude was gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship and sat, and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3. And he spoke many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow;
4. and when he sowed, some of the seed fell beside the way, and the fowls came and devoured them up.
5. Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth; and forthwith they sprang up because they had no deepness of earth;
6. and when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up and choked them.
8. But some fell into good ground and brought forth fruit: one a hundredfold and another sixtyfold and another thirtyfold.
