Luke 8:5-9

⁵A man went out to put in seed, and while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside and it was crushed under foot, and was taken by the birds of heaven.

⁶And some went on the rock, and when it came up it became dry and dead because it had no water.

⁷And some went among thorns, and the thorns came up with it and it had no room for growth.

⁸And some falling on good earth, came up and gave fruit a hundred times as much. And with these words he said in a loud voice, He who has ears, let him give ear.

⁹And his disciples put questions to him about the point of the story.
