Mark 4:8
6 But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.
Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprouted, grew up, and produced a crop—one bearing thirtyfold, another sixtyfold, and another a hundredfold.”
9 Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10 As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
