Mark 4:3-9 ▼

3 “Hear this! A sower went out to sow.

4 And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

5 Other seed fell on rocky ground where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep.

6 And when the sun rose, it was scorched and it withered for lack of roots.

7 Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it and it produced no grain.

8 And some seed fell on rich soil and produced fruit. It came up and grew and yielded thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.”

9 He added, “Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear.”
