“ Listen then to what the parable of the sower means:

“ Listen! Here is the meaning of the story of the farmer.

“ Hear then the parable of the sower:

“ Now listen to the explanation of the parable about the farmer planting seeds:

“ So listen to the parable of the sower:

“ Listen then to the parable of the sower.

Hear then ye the parable of the sower.

“ You, then, listen to the parable of the sower:

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

“ So listen to the parable of the sower:

“ Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.

“ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away.Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.

He answered and said to them,“ Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

And He said to them,“ Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?The sower sows the word.And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness;and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they stumble.Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word,and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”
