And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them:
And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
And it came to pass as he sowed, some fell by the way-side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it.
And it came to pass, that as he had come nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging;
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.
