1 That same day Jesus left the house and went out beside Lake Galilee, where he sat down to teach.
2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he had to sit in a boat, while the people stood on the shore.
3 Then he taught them many things by using stories. He said:A farmer went out to scatter seed in a field.
4 While the farmer was scattering the seed, some of it fell along the road and was eaten by birds.
