Luke 8:1-10

1And it cameG1096 to passG1096 soon afterwards, that he went about through citiesG4172 and villagesG2968, preachingG2784 and bringing the good tidings of the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, and with him the twelveG1427, 2and certainG5100 womenG1135 who had beenG1510 healedG2323 of evilG4190 spiritsG4151 and infirmitiesG769: MaryG3137 that wasG1510 calledG2564 MagdaleneG3094, from whom sevenG2033 demonsG1140 had goneG1831 out, 3and JoannaG2489 the wifeG1135 of Chuzas Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and manyG4183 othersG2087, who ministeredG1247 unto them of their substance.

4And when a greatG4183 multitudeG3793 came together, and they of every cityG4172 resorted unto him, he spake by a parableG3850: 5The sower wentG1831 forthG1831 to sowG4687 his seedG4703: and as he sowedG4687, some fellG4098 by the wayG3598 side; and it was trodden under foot, and the birdsG4071 of the heavenG3772 devouredG2719 it. 6And otherG2087 fell on the rockG4073; and as soon as it grew, it witheredG3583 awayG3583, because it had no moisture. 7And otherG2087 fellG4098 amidst the thornsG173; and the thornsG173 grew with it, and choked it. 8And otherG2087 fellG4098 into the goodG18 groundG1093, and grew, and brought forth fruitG2590 a hundredfold. As he saidG3004 these thingsG3778, he cried, He that hath earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.

9And his disciplesG3101 askedG1905 him what this parableG3850 might beG1510. 10And he saidG3004, Unto you it is givenG1325 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of GodG2316: but to the restG3062 in parablesG3850; that seeingG991 they may not seeG991, and hearingG191 they may not understandG4920.
