1 On that day after Yeshua left the house, He was sitting by the sea.
2 And large crowds gathered around Him; so He got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood on the shore.
3 And He told them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a sower went out to spread some seed.
4 As he was scattering the seed, some seeds fell by the road; and the birds came and ate them up.
5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil. They sprang up immediately, because the soil wasn’t deep.
6 But when the sun came up, they were scorched; and because they had no roots, they withered away.
7 Other seeds fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew and choked them out.
