The Parable of the Sower
13:1 On that day after Jesus went out of the house , he sat by the lake .
13:2 And such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat to sit while the whole crowd stood on the shore .
13:3 He told them many things in parables , saying : “Listen ! A sower went out to sow .
13:4 And as he sowed , some seeds fell along the path , and the birds came and devoured them .
13:5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground where they did not have much soil . They sprang up quickly because the soil was not deep .
13:6 But when the sun came up , they were scorched , and because they did not have sufficient root , they withered .
13:7 Other seeds fell among the thorns , and they grew up and choked them .
13:8 But other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain , some a hundred times as much, some sixty , and some thirty .
13:9 The one who has ears had better listen !”
13:10 Then the disciples came to him and said , “Why do you speak to them in parables ?”
13:11 He replied , “You have been given the opportunity to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven , but they have not .
13:12 For whoever has will be given more, and will have an abundance . But whoever does not have , even what he has will be taken from him .
13:13 For this reason I speak to them in parables : Although they see they do not see , and although they hear they do not hear nor do they understand .
13:14 And concerning them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says : ‘You will listen carefully yet will never understand , you will look closely yet will never comprehend .
