4 And when a great crowd was assembling, and was receiving additions from one town after another, He spoke a parable to them. 5 "The sower," He said, "goes out to sow his seed; and as he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and is trodden upon, or the birds of the air come and peck it up. 6 Another part drops upon the rock, and after growing up it withers away for want of moisture. 7 Another part falls among the thorns, and the thorns grow up with it and stifle it. 8 But some of the seed falls into good ground, and grows up and yields a return of a hundred for one." While thus speaking, He cried aloud and said, "Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!" Luke 8:4-8, Weymouth New Testament. Public domain.
