Matthew 13:2

2: where an immense crowd soon gathered. He got into a boat, where he sat and taught as the people listened on the shore.

Stepping into one of the boats, Jesus asked Simon, its owner, to push it out into the water. So he sat in the boat and taught the crowds from there.

One day Jesus told this story to a large crowd that had gathered from many towns to hear him:
"A farmer went out to plant some seed. As he scattered it across his field, some seed fell on a footpath, where it was stepped on, and the birds came and ate it.
Other seed fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. This seed began to grow, but soon it withered and died for lack of moisture.
Other seed fell among thorns that shot up and choked out the tender blades.
Still other seed fell on fertile soil. This seed grew and produced a crop one hundred times as much as had been planted." When he had said this, he called out, "Anyone who is willing to hear should listen and understand!"

A vast crowd brought him the lame, blind, crippled, mute, and many others with physical difficulties, and they laid them before Jesus. And he healed them all.

The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from his descendants, until the coming of the one to whom it belongs, the one whom all nations will obey.
