Mark 4:1-9
1 |
And again He began to teach by the sea. And a great multitude was gathered to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole multitude was on the land facing the sea. |
2 |
Then He taught them many things by parables, and said to them in His teaching: |
3 |
Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. |
4 |
And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured it. |
5 |
Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth. |
6 |
But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away. |
7 |
And some seed fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no crop. |
8 |
But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred. |
9 |
And He said to them, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!" |
