1 The same day Jesus went out of the house, and sat beside the sea.
2 And great crowds were gathered about Him, so that he got into a boat, and sat; and the entire crowd stood on the shore.
3 Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Some fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprung up because they had no depth of earth.
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 grew up, and choked them.
8 But others fell on good ground, and produced fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
10 And the disciples came, and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 This is why speak I to them in parables: because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: 'Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand, and seeing you will see, and not perceive;
15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull, their ears are impaired of hearing, and their eyes they have shut; Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their hearts, and would be converted, so that I should heal them.
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear;
17 For truly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see what you see, and did not see it; and what you hear, and did not hear it.
