Mark 41-9 Again Jesus began to teach by the
lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so
large that he got into a boat and sat in it out
on the lake, while all the people were along the
shore at the water's edge. He taught them many
things by parables, and in his teaching said
4
"Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he
was scattering the seed, some fell along the
path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell
on rocky places, where it did not have much soil.
It sprang up quickly, because the soil was
shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants
were scorched, and they withered because they had
no root.
5
Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and
choked the plants, so that they did not bear
grain. Still other seed fell on good soil. It
came up, grew and produced a crop, multiplying
thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times. Then
Jesus said, "He who has ears to hear, let him
hear."
