Matthew 13:4 ASV

²  And there were gathered unto him great multitudes, so that he entered into a boat, and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.

³  And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow;

⁴  and as he sowed, some 'seeds' fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them:

⁵  and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth:

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