MKJV(i)
4 And a great crowd coming together, and those in each city coming to Him, He spoke by a parable:
5 A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, the one fell by the roadside and was trampled; and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 And other fell on a rock, and sprouting, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 And other fell amidst thorns, and springing up with the thorns, they choked it.
8 And other fell on good ground and sprang up, and bore fruit a hundredfold. And when He had said these things, He cried, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
9 And His disciples asked Him, saying, What might this parable be?
10 And He said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God. But to others I speak in parables, so that seeing they might not see and hearing they might not understand.
