Luke 8:4-10

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.
