Matthew 13:1

Verse 1 of 58. The 13th of 28 chapters in Matthew, in The Gospels.

1On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the seaside.

2Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.

3He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.

4As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.

5Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
