Mark 4:1-9
1Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered
around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on
the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water's
edge. 2He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching
said: 3"Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4As he was
scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and
ate it up. 5Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much
soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6But when
the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because
they had no root. 7Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and
choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. 8Still other seed
fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, multiplying
thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times."
9Then Jesus said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
