Matthew 13:5-9

Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and they sprang up immediately, because they had no depth of soil.

But after the sun rose, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out.

But others fell on the good soil and yielded a crop, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty times as much.

The one who has ears, let him hear.” An Explanation for Parables
