CHAP. XIII.
1. The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. 2. And great multitudes were gathered together to him, so that he went into a ship and sat, and the whole multitude stood on the shore. 3. And he spake many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow.

1, 2, 3. N. Christ thought a Ship, or a House, or a Mountain no unmeet place to preach in, and yet avoided not the Temple or Synagogues. 2. They that will have the word with Gods blessing must follow after it. 3. Similitudes were suitable to such learners▪ 4. Preaching is like sowing seed.
4. And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up. 5. Some fell on stony places, where they had not much earth; and forthwith they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth. 6. And when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had not root, they withered away. 7. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. 8. But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundred fold, some sixty fold, some thirty fold. 9. Who hath ears to hear let him hear.
