40:013:003 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying,
Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
40:013:004 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the
fowls came and devoured them up:
40:013:005 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
40:013:006 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they
had no root, they withered away.
40:013:007 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and
choked them:
40:013:008 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some
an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
40:013:009 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
40:013:010 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
40:013:011 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you
to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it
is not given.
40:013:012 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have
more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be
taken away even that he hath.
