On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.

And large crowds gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the crowd stood on the beach.
And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, "Look, a farmer went out to sow.
And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.

And others fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
Others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.

Still others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
He who has ears, let him hear."
Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"

When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.

But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the tares appeared also.
