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