6 When the sun came up it was scorched, and because it did not have sufficient root,[a] it withered. 7 Other seed fell among the thorns,[b] and they grew up and choked it,[c] and it did not produce grain. 8 But[d] other seed fell on good soil and produced grain, sprouting and growing; some yielded thirty times as much, some sixty, and some a hundred times.”

Mark 4:6-8
New International Version
6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.”(A)
