And he said vnto them, Know ye not this parable? And how then will you know all parables?

The Sower soweth the word.

And these are they by the way side, where the word is sowen, but when they haue heard, Satan commeth immediately, and taketh away the word that was sowen in their hearts.

And these are they likewise which are sowen on stonie ground, who when they haue heard the word, immediately receiue it with gladnesse:

And haue no roote in themselues, and so endure but for a time: afterward when affliction or persecution ariseth for the words sake, immediately they are offended.

And these are they which are sowen among thorns: such as heare the word,

And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulnesse of riches, and the lusts of other things entring in, choke the word, and it becommeth vnfruitfull.

And these are they which are sowen on good ground, such as heare the word, and receiue it, & bring foorth fruit, some thirty fold, some sixtie, and some an hundred.
