3. And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow;
4. and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them:
5. and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6. and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
