Context of Luke 8:6
4And a great crowd coming together, and those who were coming to him out of each city, he spoke by parable: 5The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell along the way, and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it up; and other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it was dried up because it had not moisture; 7and other fell in the midst of the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with [it] choked it; 8and other fell into the good ground, and having sprung up bore fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
