While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable:

A large crowd gathered together. People came to Jesus from town after town. As they did, he told a story. He said,

And when a great crowd was gathering and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable,

One day Jesus told a story in the form of a parable to a large crowd that had gathered from many towns to hear him:

As a large crowd was gathering, and people were coming to Jesus from every town, he said in a parable,

Now when a large crowd was coming together, and those from the various cities were journeying to Him, He spoke by way of a parable:

And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable:

And when a great multitude came together, and they of every city resorted unto him, he spake by a parable:

As a large crowd was gathering, and people were flocking to Him from every town, He said in a parable:

And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:

While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from one town after another, he spoke to them in a parable:

When a great multitude came together, and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable.

Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore.Then he told them many things in parables, saying:“ A farmer went out to sow his seed.As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop— a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.Whoever has ears, let them hear.” (niv)

Again 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.He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said:“ Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain.Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.”Then Jesus said,“ Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.” (niv)
