Luke 8:4-18

4AndG2532 whenG2532 a greatG4183 multitudeG3793 cameG1223 togetherG2532, andG2532 theyG846 ofG1223 everyG2596 cityG4172 resorted unto himG846, heG2532 spake byG1223 a parableG3850:

5TheG3588 sowerG4687 wentG1831 forthG1831 toG2532 sowG4687 hisG846 seedG4703: andG2532 asG1722 heG2532 sowedG4687, someG3588 fellG4098 byG1722 theG3588 wayG3598 sideG3844; andG2532 itG846 was trodden underG1722 footG2662, andG2532 theG3588 birdsG4071 ofG3598 theG3588 heavenG3772 devouredG2719 itG846.

6AndG2532 otherG2087 fellG2667 onG1909 theG3588 rockG4073; andG2532 asG2532 soon asG2532 itG1223 grewG5453, itG1223 witheredG3583 awayG3583, becauseG1223 itG1223 had noG3361 moistureG2429.

7AndG2532 otherG2087 fellG4098 amidst theG3588 thornsG173; andG2532 theG3588 thornsG173 grewG4855 withG1722 itG846, andG2532 chokedG638 itG846.

8AndG2532 otherG2087 fellG4098 intoG1519 theG3588 goodG18 groundG1093, andG2532 grewG5453, andG2532 broughtG1519 forthG4160 fruitG2590 a hundredfold. AsG1519 heG2532 saidG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, heG2532 criedG5455, HeG2532 thatG3004 hath earsG3775 toG1519 hearG191, letG3004 himG191 hearG191.

9AndG1161 hisG846 disciplesG3101 askedG1905 himG846 whatG5101 thisG3778 parableG3850 might beG1510.

10AndG2532 heG2532 saidG3004, Unto youG5210 itG191 is givenG1325 toG2443 knowG1097 theG3588 mysteriesG3466 ofG932 theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG932 GodG2316: butG1161 toG2443 theG3588 restG3062 inG1722 parablesG3850; thatG2443 seeingG991 theyG2532 mayG2532 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 hearingG191 theyG2532 mayG2532 notG3361 understandG4920.

11NowG1161 theG3588 parableG3850 isG1510 thisG3778: TheG3588 seedG4703 isG1510 theG3588 wordG3056 ofG3056 GodG2316.

12AndG2532 thoseG3588 byG575 theG3588 wayG3598 sideG3844 areG1510 theyG846 thatG2443 haveG1510 heardG191; thenG2532 cometh theG3588 devilG1228, andG2532 taketh awayG142 theG3588 wordG3056 fromG575 theirG846 heartG2588, thatG2443 theyG846 mayG2532 notG3361 believeG4100 andG2532 beG1510 savedG4982.

13AndG2532 thoseG3588 onG1909 theG3588 rockG4073 are theyG3739 whichG3739, whenG3752 theyG3739 have heardG191, receiveG1209 theG3588 wordG3056 withG3326 joyG5479; andG2532 theseG3778 have noG3756 rootG4491, whichG3739 forG1909 a whileG1722 believeG4100, andG2532 inG1722 timeG2540 ofG3056 temptationG3986 fallG868 awayG868.

14AndG2532 thatG191 whichG3588 fellG4098 amongG1519 theG3588 thornsG173, theseG3778 areG1510 theyG2532 thatG191 haveG1510 heardG191, andG2532 asG1519 theyG2532 goG4198 onG1519 theirG2532 wayG4198 theyG2532 areG1510 chokedG4846 withG2532 caresG3308 andG2532 richesG4149 andG2532 pleasuresG2237 ofG191 thisG3778 lifeG979, andG2532 bringG1519 noG3756 fruitG5052 toG1519 perfection.

15AndG2532 thatG191 inG1722 theG3588 goodG18 groundG1093, theseG3778 areG1510 suchG3778 asG1722 inG1722 anG1510 honestG2570 andG2532 goodG18 heartG2588, having heardG191 theG3588 wordG3056, holdG2722 itG191 fastG2722, andG2532 bring forth fruitG2592 withG1722 patienceG5281.

16AndG1161 noG3762 manG3762, whenG1161 heG846 hath lighted a lampG3088, covereth itG846 withG1909 a vesselG4632, orG2228 putteth itG846 underG5270 a bedG2825; butG1161 putteth itG846 onG1909 a stand, thatG2443 theyG846 whichG3588 enterG1531 inG1909 mayG2443 seeG991 theG3588 lightG5457.

17ForG1063 nothingG3756 isG1510 hid, thatG3739 shallG2532 notG3756 beG1510 madeG1096 manifest; norG3761 anything secretG2927, thatG3739 shallG2532 notG3756 beG1510 knownG1097 andG2532 comeG2064 toG1519 lightG5318.

18TakeG142 heedG991 thereforeG3767 howG4459 ye hearG191: forG1063 whosoever hath, toG2532 himG846 shallG2532 beG2532 givenG1325; andG2532 whosoever hath notG3361, fromG575 himG846 shallG2532 beG2532 takenG142 awayG142 evenG2532 thatG3739 whichG3739 heG2532 thinketh heG2532 hath.
