3   And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
και ιωαννα γυνη χουζα επιτροπου ηρωδου και σουσαννα και ετεραι πολλαι αιτινες διηκονουν αυτω απο των υπαρχοντων αυταις

4   And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
συνιοντος δε οχλου πολλου και των κατα πολιν επιπορευομενων προς αυτον ειπεν δια παραβολης

5   A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
εξηλθεν ο σπειρων του σπειραι τον σπορον αυτου και εν τω σπειρειν αυτον ο μεν επεσεν παρα την οδον και κατεπατηθη και τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατεφαγεν αυτο

6   And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
και ετερον επεσεν επι την πετραν και φυεν εξηρανθη δια το μη εχειν ικμαδα

7   And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
και ετερον επεσεν εν μεσω των ακανθων και συμφυεισαι αι ακανθαι απεπνιξαν αυτο

8   And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
και ετερον επεσεν επι την γην την αγαθην και φυεν εποιησεν καρπον εκατονταπλασιονα ταυτα λεγων εφωνει ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω

9   And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
επηρωτων δε αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου λεγοντες τις ειη η παραβολη αυτη

10   And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
ο δε ειπεν υμιν δεδοται γνωναι τα μυστηρια της βασιλειας του θεου τοις δε λοιποις εν παραβολαις ινα βλεποντες μη βλεπωσιν και ακουοντες μη συνιωσιν

11   Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
εστιν δε αυτη η παραβολη ο σπορος εστιν ο λογος του θεου
