Matthew 13:8

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.

Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.

9 He who has ears, let him hear.”

10 Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”

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