[13] And he said unto them, Know ye not parable? and how then will ye know all parables? [14] The sower the word. [15] And these by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown their [16] And these likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; [17] And have no root in themselves, and but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. [18] And these sown among thorns; such as hear the word, [19] And the cares world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. [20] And they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. [21] And unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to on a candlestick? [22] For nothing hid, be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. [23] have ears to hear, [24] And unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, and that hear shall more be given. [25] For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
