Matthew 13:1-9 ▼

1 The same day, went Iesus out of the house, & sate by the sea syde.

2 And great multitudes were gathered together vnto hym, so greatly that he went and sate in a shippe, and the whole multitude stoode on the shore.

3 And he spake many thynges to them in parables, saying: Beholde, the sower went foorth to sowe.

4 And when he sowed, some seedes fell by the wayes side, and the fowles came, and deuoured them vp.

5 Some fell vpon stony places, where they had not much earth, and anone they sprong vp, because they had no depenesse of earth.

6 And when the sonne was vp, they caught heate, and because they had not roote, they wythered away.

7 Agayne, some fell among thornes, and the thornes sprong vp and choked them.

8 But some fell into good grounde, and brought foorth fruite, some an hundred folde, some sixtie folde, some thirtie folde.

9 Who hath eares to heare, let hym heare.
