Matthew 13:4-10 Modern English Version (MEV)

4. While he sowed, some seeds fell beside the path, and the birds came and devoured them.

5. But other seeds fell on rocky ground where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up because they did not have deep soil.

6. But when the sun rose, they were scorched. And because they did not take root, they withered away.

7. Some seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.

8. But other seeds fell into good ground and produced grain: a hundred, sixty, or thirty times as much.

9. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10. The disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
