The King James Version Bible

Matthew 13:1-8

  1. The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

  2. And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

  3. And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

  4. And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

  5. Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

  6. And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

  7. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

  8. But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
