1. The same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea side.
2. And a great multitude was gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship and sat, and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3. And he spoke many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow;
4. and when he sowed, some of the seed fell beside the way, and the fowls came and devoured them up.
