The Parable of the Sower
1 On the same day Jesus went out of the house aand sat by the sea.
2 aAnd great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that bHe got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: a“Behold, a sower went out to sow.
5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth.
6 But 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 sprang up and choked them.
9 aHe who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
The Purpose of Parables
10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
11 He answered and said to them, “Because ait has been given to you to know the1 mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
