1. On that day Yeshua went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.
2. Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the multitude stood on the beach.
3. He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.
4. As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
5. Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
6. When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
7. Others fell amongst thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.
8. Others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10. The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
11. He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.
12. For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
