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