Matthew 13:4

² Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.

³ And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.

And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

⁵ Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

⁶ But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
