1 The same day went Iesus out of the house, and sate by the sea side.
2 And great multitudes were gathered together vnto him, so that hee went into a ship, and sate, and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 And hee spake many things vnto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went foorth to sow.
4 And when he sowed, some seedes fell by the wayes side, and the foules came, and deuoured them vp.
5 Some fell vpon stony places, where they had not much earth: and foorth with they sprung vp, because they had no deepenesse of earth.
6 And when the Sunne was vp, they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns: and the thornes sprung vp, & choked them.
8 But other fell into good ground, and brought foorth fruit, some an hundred folde, some sixtie folde, some thirty folde.
9 Who hath eares to heare, let him heare.
