Jesus Teaches by the Sea

Matthew 13:1-9

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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