Jesus Teaches by the Sea

1

The same day went Iesus out of the house, and sate by the sea side.

2

And great multitudes resorted vnto him, so that he went into a ship, and sate downe: and the whole multitude stoode on the shore.

3

Then he spake many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sowe.

4

And as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the foules came and deuoured them vp.

5

And some fell vpon stony grounde, where they had not much earth, and anon they sprong vp, because they had no depth of earth.

6

And when the sunne was vp, they were parched, and for lacke of rooting, withered away.

7

And some fell among thornes, and the thornes sprong vp, and choked them.

8

Some againe fel in good ground, and brought forth fruite, one corne an hundreth folde, some sixtie folde, and another thirtie folde.

9

He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
