4 And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming unto him, he spake by a simile:
5 `The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the heaven did devour it.
6 `And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it did wither, through not having moisture.
7 `And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, did choke it.
8 `And other fell upon the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit an hundred fold.` These things saying, he was calling, `He having ears to hear -- let him hear.`
9 And his disciples were questioning him, saying, `What may this simile be?`
10 And he said, `To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
