“ Listen then to what the parable of the sower means:

“ Listen! Here is the meaning of the story of the farmer.

“ Hear then the parable of the sower:

“ Now listen to the explanation of the parable about the farmer planting seeds:

“ So listen to the parable of the sower:

“ Listen then to the parable of the sower.

“ Therefore hear the parable of the sower:

Hear then ye the parable of the sower.

“ You, then, listen to the parable of the sower:

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

“ So listen to the parable of the sower:

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.Those along the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.

He answered them,“ To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.

He said to them,“ Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?The farmer sows the word.The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.They have no root in themselves, but are short- lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”
