Luke 8:9-15

91His disciplesG3101 began questioningG1905 Him as to whatG5101 thisG3778 parableG3850 meantG1510. 10And He saidG3004, “2To you it has been grantedG1325 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, but to the restG3062 it is in parablesG3850, soG2443 that 3seeingG991 they may not seeG991, and hearingG191 they may not understandG4920.

11“NowG1161 the parableG3850 is thisG3778: 4the seedG4703 is the wordG3056 of GodG2316. 12ThoseG3588 besideG3844 the roadG3598 are thoseG3588 who have heardG191; thenG1534 the devilG1228 comesG2064 and takesG142 awayG142 the wordG3056 from their heartG2588, soG2443 that they will not believeG4100 and be savedG4982. 13Those on the rockyG4073 soil are those whoG3739, whenG3752 they hearG191, receiveG1209 the wordG3056 with joyG5479; and theseG3778 haveG2192 noG3756 firm rootG4491; 5they believeG4100 for a whileG2540, and in timeG2540 of temptationG3986 fallG868 awayG868. 14The seed which fellG4098 amongG1519 the thornsG173, theseG3778 are the ones who have heardG191, and as they goG4198 on their wayG4198 they are chokedG4846 with worriesG3308 and richesG4149 and pleasuresG2237 of this lifeG979, and bringG5052 noG3756 fruitG5052 to maturityG5052. 15But the seed in the goodG2570 soilG1093, theseG3778 are the ones whoG3748 have heardG191 the wordG3056 in an honestG2570 and goodG18 heartG2588, and holdG2722 it fastG2722, and bearG2592 fruitG2592 with 6perseveranceG5281.
