began
again to
teach
by the sea
side:
and there was
gathered
unto
him a
great
multitude, so
that
he
entered
into a
ship, and
sat
in the
sea;
and the
whole
multitude
was
by the
sea
on the
land.

Behold, there went
out a
sower to
sow:

pass,
as he
sowed,

*
fell
by the way
side,
and the
fowls of the
air
came
and
devoured
it
up.

some
fell
on stony
ground,
where it

when the
sun was
up, it was

had
no
root, it withered
away.

fell
among
thorns,

other
fell
on
good
ground,

said unto
them, Unto
you it is
given to
know the
mystery of the
kingdom of
God:
but unto
them that are
without, all these
things are
done
in
parables:
|
- 4:12
That
seeing they may
see,
and
not
perceive;
and
hearing they may
hear,
and
not
understand; lest at any
time they should be
converted,
and their
sins should be
forgiven
them.

said unto

ye

sown
in
their
hearts.

these are
they
likewise which are
sown
on stony
ground;

word,
immediately
receive
it
with
gladness;

have
no
root
in
themselves,

endure but for a
time:

ariseth
for the word's
sake,
immediately they are
offended.

are they which
are
sown
among
thorns; such

this
world,

things entering
in,
choke the
word,
and it
becometh
unfruitful.

hundred.

on a

is
nothing
hid
*,
which
shall
not be

abroad
*.

he
that
hath, to
him shall be

which he
hath.

is the

he

in the

in the

when it is
sown, it groweth
up,

out
great
branches; so
that the
fowls of the
air
may
lodge
under the
shadow of
it.

obey
him?
