Mark 4:6-8

Living Bible

^5-6 Some fell on thin soil with underlying rock. It grew up quickly enough, but soon wilted beneath the hot sun and died because the roots had no nourishment in the shallow soil. ⁷ Other seeds fell among thorns that shot up and crowded the young plants so that they produced no grain. ⁸ But some of the seeds fell into good soil and yielded thirty times as much as he had planted—some of it even sixty or a hundred times as much!
