在那一天，耶穌從家裡出來，坐在海邊上，

¹The same day Jesus going out of the house, sat by the sea side.

²有許多群眾集合到他跟前，他只得上船坐下，群眾都站在岸上。

²And great multitudes were gathered unto him, so that he went up into a boat and sat: and all the multitude stood on the shore.

³他就用比喻給他們講論了許多事說：「看，有個撒種的出去撒種；

³And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold the sower went forth to sow.

⁴他撒種的時候，有的落在路旁，飛鳥來把它吃了。

⁴And whilst he soweth some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate them up.

⁵有的落在石頭地裡，那裡沒有多少土壤，因為所有的土壤不深，即刻發了芽；

⁵And other some fell upon stony ground, where they had not much earth: and they sprung up immediately, because they had no deepness of earth.

⁶但太陽一出來，就被曬焦；又因為沒有根，就枯乾了。

⁶And when the sun was up they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away.

⁷有的落在荊棘中，荊棘長起來，便把它們窒息了。

⁷And others fell among thorns: and the thorns grew up and choked them.

⁸有的落在好地裡，就結了實：有一百倍的，有六十倍的，有三十倍的。

⁸And others fell upon good ground: and they brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold.

⁹有耳的，聽罷！」

⁹He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
