1 And on that day יהושע went out of the house and sat by the sea.
2 And large crowds were gathered together to Him, so that He went into a boat and sat down. And all the crowd stood on the beach.
3 And He spoke to them much in parables, saying, “See, the sower went out to sow.
4 “And as he sowed, some indeed fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 “And others fell on rocky places, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil.
6 “But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered.
7 “And others fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them.
