Jesus Teaches by the Sea

1

The same day Jesus going out of the house, sat by the sea side.

2

And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went up into a boat and sat: and all the multitude stood on the shore.

3

And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold the sower went forth to sow.

4

And whilst he soweth some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate them up.

5

And other some fell upon stony ground, where they had not much earth: and they sprung up immediately, because they had no deepness of earth.

6

And when the sun was up they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away.

7

And others fell among thorns: and the thorns grew up and choked them.

8

And others fell upon good ground: and they brought forth fruit, some an hundred fold, some sixty fold, and some thirty fold.

9

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
