1. On that day after Yeshua left the house, He was sitting by the sea.
2. And large crowds gathered around Him; so He got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood on the shore.
3. And He told them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a sower went out to spread some seed.
4. As he was scattering the seed, some seeds fell by the road; and the birds came and ate them up.
5. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil. They sprang up immediately, because the soil wasn’t deep.
6. But when the sun came up, they were scorched; and because they had no roots, they withered away.
7. Other seeds fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew and choked them out.
