The same day went Jesus out of the dwelling house home , and sat by the lake sea shore side. And great crowds multitudes gatherings were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a boat ship vessel , and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore beach edge . And he spake many things unto them in stories parables sayings , saying, Behold, a farmer planter sower went forth to plant scatter sow ; And when he sowed, some kernels seeds grains fell by the way side path road , and the birds creatures fowls came and ate consumed devoured them up: Some fell upon stony rocky hard places, where they had not much ground earth soil : and forthwith they rose sprung grew up, because they had no deepness of ground earth soil : And when the light heat sun was up, they were scorched burned withered ; and because they had no support foundation root , they withered away. And some fell among brambles thorns weeds ; and the thorns sprung up, and strangled choked suffocated them: But other fell into fertile good rich ground, and brought forth yield crop fruit , some an hundred times century-fold hundredfold , some sixtyfold sixty times sixtyfold , some thirty times thirtyfold thirtyfold . Who hath ears to understand hear listen , let him hear.
