Luke 8:9-15

91NowG1161 His disciplesG3101 began askingG1905 Him whatG5101 thisG3778 parableG3850 2meantG1510. 10And He saidG3004, “3To you it has been grantedG1325 to knowG1097 the 4mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, but to the restG3062 they are told in parablesG3850, soG2443 thatG2443 56while seeingG991 they may not seeG991, and 7while hearingG191 they may not understandG4920.

11“NowG1161 thisG3778 is the parableG3850: 8the seedG4703 is the wordG3056 of GodG2316. 12And thoseG3588 besideG3844 the roadG3598 are the ones who have heardG191, thenG1534 the devilG1228 comesG2064 and takesG142 awayG142 the wordG3056 from their heartG2588, soG2443 thatG2443 they will not believeG4100 and be savedG4982. 13Those on the rockyG4073 soil are the ones whoG3739, whenG3752 they hearG191, receiveG1209 the wordG3056 with joyG5479; and yet theseG3778 do not haveG2192 a firm rootG4491; 9they believeG4100 for a whileG2540, and in a timeG2540 of temptationG3986 they 10fallG868 awayG868. 14And the seed which fellG4098 amongG1519 the thornsG173, theseG3778 are the ones who have heardG191, and as they goG4198 onG4198 their wayG4198 they are chokedG4846 by worriesG3308, richesG4149, and pleasuresG2237 of this lifeG979, and they bringG5052 noG3756 fruitG5052 toG5052 maturityG5052. 15But the seed in the goodG2570 soilG1093, theseG3778 are the ones whoG3748 have heardG191 the wordG3056 11with a goodG2570 and virtuousG18 heartG2588, and holdG2722 it firmlyG2722, and produceG2592 fruitG2592 with 12perseveranceG5281.
