1. And on that day יהושע went out of the house and sat by the sea.
2. And large crowds were gathered together to Him, so that He went into a boat and sat down. And all the crowd stood on the beach.
3. And He spoke to them much in parables, saying, “See, the sower went out to sow.
4. “And as he sowed, some indeed fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured them.
5. “And others fell on rocky places, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil.
6. “But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered.
7. “And others fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them.
