Matthew 13:4 in Context — Matthew 13

2 Une grande foule s’étant assemblée auprès de lui, il monta dans une barque, et il s’assit. Toute la foule se tenait sur le rivage.

3 Il leur parla en paraboles sur beaucoup de choses, et il dit:

4 Un semeur sortit pour semer. Comme il semait, une partie de la semence tomba le long du chemin: les oiseaux vinrent, et la mangèrent.

5 Une autre partie tomba dans les endroits pierreux, où elle n’avait pas beaucoup de terre: elle leva aussitôt, parce qu’elle ne trouva pas un sol profond;

6 mais, quand le soleil parut, elle fut brûlée et sécha, faute de racines.
