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.

8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some ^aa hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

9 ^aHe who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
