Mark 3:2-9

2, And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
3, Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
4, And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
5, And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6, But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7, And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8, And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
9, And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
