Luke 8:9-15

9ThenG1161 HisG846 disciplesG3101 askedG1905 HimG846 whatG5101 thisG3778 parableG3850 meantG1510.

10

He repliedG2036, “The knowledgeG1097 of theG3588 mysteriesG3466 of theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 has been givenG1325 to youG4771, butG1161 toG3588 othersG3062 I speak inG1722 parablesG3850, so thatG2443,

11NowG1161 thisG3778 is the meaningG1510 of theG3588 parableG3850: TheG3588 seedG4703 isG1510 theG3588 wordG3056 of GodG2316. 12TheG3588 seeds2 alongG3844 theG3588 pathG3598 areG1510 those whoG3588 hearG191, but theG3588 devilG1228 comesG2064 andG2532 takes awayG142 theG3588 wordG3056 fromG575 theirG846 heartsG2588, so thatG2443 they may not believeG3361G4100 and be savedG4982.

13

TheG3588 seeds onG1909 rocky groundG4073 are those whoG3739 hearG191 theG3588 wordG3056 and receive itG1209 withG3326 joyG5479, butG2532 they haveG2192 noG3756 rootG4491. They believeG4100 forG4314 a seasonG2540, but inG1722 the timeG2540 of testingG3986, they fall awayG868.

14

TheG3588 seeds that fellG4098 amongG1519 theG3588 thornsG173 areG1510 those whoG3588 hearG191, but as they go on their wayG4198, they are chokedG4846 byG5259 the worriesG3308, richesG4149, andG2532 pleasuresG2237 ofG3588 this lifeG979, andG2532 their fruit does not matureG3756G5052.

15ButG1161 theG3588 seeds onG1722 goodG2570 soilG1093 areG1510 thoseG3748 withG1722 a nobleG2570 andG2532 goodG18 heartG2588, who hearG191 theG3588 wordG3056, cling toG2722 it, andG2532 byG1722 perseveringG5281 produce a cropG2592.
