The Parable of the Sower

4 aAnd when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable:  
5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it.
8 But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded1 a crop a hundredfold.” When He had said these things He cried, a“He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”  

The Purpose of Parables

9 aThen His disciples asked Him, saying, “What does this parable mean?”  
10 And He said, “To you it has been given to know the1 mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that
a‘Seeing they may not see,
And hearing they may not understand.’
