Mark 4:4 ASV

²  And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his teaching,

³  Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow:

⁴  and it came to pass, as he sowed, some 'seed' fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it.

⁵  And other fell on the rocky 'ground', where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth:

⁶  and when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
