Luke 8:1-15

1And it cameG1096 to passG1096 afterwards that he went through [the country] cityG4172 by cityG4172, and villageG2968 by villageG2968, preachingG2784 and announcing the glad tidings of the kingdomG932 of 1GodG2316; and the twelveG1427 [were] with him,

2and certainG5100 womenG1135 who had beenG1510 healedG2323 of wickedG4190 spiritsG4151 and infirmitiesG769, MaryG3137 who wasG1510 calledG2564 MagdaleneG3094, from whom sevenG2033 demonsG1140 had goneG1831 out,

3and JoannaG2489, wifeG1135 of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and manyG4183 othersG2087, who ministeredG1247 to him of their substance.

4And a greatG4183 crowdG3793 coming together, and those who were coming to him out of each cityG4172, he spokeG3004 by parableG3850:

5The sower wentG1831 out to sowG4687 his seedG4703; and as he sowedG4687, some fellG4098 along the wayG3598, and it was trodden under foot, and the birdsG4071 of the heavenG3772 devouredG2719 it up;

6and otherG2087 fell upon the rockG4073, and having sprung up, it was dried up because it had not moisture;

7and otherG2087 fellG4098 in the midstG3319 of the thornsG173, and the thornsG173 having sprung up with [it] choked it;

8and otherG2087 fellG4098 into the goodG18 groundG1093, and having sprung up bore fruitG2590 a hundredfold. As he saidG3004 these thingsG3778 he cried, He that has earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.

9And his disciplesG3101 askedG1905 him [saying], What may this parableG3850 beG1510?

10And he saidG3004, To you it is givenG1325 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of 2GodG2316, but to the restG3062 in parablesG3850, in orderG2443 that seeingG991 they may not seeG991, and hearingG191 they may not understandG4920.

11But the parableG3850 isG1510 this: The seedG4703 isG1510 the wordG3056 of 3GodG2316.

12But those by the wayside areG1510 those who hearG191; then comesG2064 the devilG1228 and takesG142 awayG142 the wordG3056 from their heartG2588 that they may not believeG4100 and beG1510 savedG4982.

13But those upon the rockG4073, those who whenG3752 they hearG191 receiveG1209 the wordG3056 with joyG5479; and these have no rootG4491, who believeG4100 for a timeG2540, and in timeG2540 of trialG3986 fall awayG868.

14But that that fellG4098 where the thornsG173 wereG1510, these areG1510 they who having heardG191 goG4198 awayG4198 and areG1510 chokedG4846 under caresG3308 and richesG4149 and pleasures of lifeG979, and bring no fruit to perfection.

15But that in the goodG18 groundG1093, these areG1510 they who in an honest and goodG18 heartG2588, having heardG191 the wordG3056 keepG2722 it, and bring forth fruitG2592 with patience.
