Luke 8:4-15

4AndG1161 when manyG4183 peopleG3793 were gathered togetherG4896, andG2532 had comeG1975 toG4314 himG846 out of everyG2596 cityG4172, he spokeG2036 byG1223 a parableG3850: 5A sowerG4687 went outG1831 to sowG4687 hisG846 seedG4703: andG2532 asG1722 heG846 sowedG4687, someG3739G3303 fellG4098 byG3844 the way sideG3598; andG2532 it was trodden downG2662, andG2532 the fowlsG4071 of the airG3772 devouredG2719 itG846. 6AndG2532 someG2087 fellG4098 uponG1909 a rockG4073; andG2532 as soon as it was sprung upG5453, it withered awayG3583, becauseG1223 it lackedG3361G2192 moistureG2429. 7AndG2532 someG2087 fellG4098 amongG1722G3319 thornsG173; andG2532 the thornsG173 sprang up with itG4855, and chokedG638G1970 itG846. 8AndG2532 otherG2087 fellG4098 onG1909 goodG18 groundG1093, andG2532 sprang upG5453, and boreG4160 fruitG2590 an hundredfoldG1542. And when he had saidG3004 these thingsG5023, he criedG5455, He that hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191. 9AndG1161 hisG846 disciplesG3101 askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 dothG1498 thisG3778 parableG3850 meanG1498? 10AndG1161 he saidG2036, To youG5213 it is givenG1325 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of GodG2316: butG1161 to othersG3062 inG1722 parablesG3850; thatG2443 seeingG991 they mayG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 hearingG191 they mayG4920 notG3361 understandG4920. 11NowG1161 the parableG3850 isG2076 thisG3778: The seedG4703 isG2076 the wordG3056 of GodG2316. 12ThoseG1161 byG3844 the way sideG3598 areG1526 they that hearG191; thenG1534 comethG2064 the devilG1228, andG2532 taketh awayG142 the wordG3056 out ofG575 theirG846 heartsG2588, lestG3363 they should believeG4100 and be savedG4982. 13They onG1909 the rockG4073 are they, whoG3739, whenG3752 they hearG191, receiveG1209 the wordG3056 withG3326 joyG5479; andG2532 theseG3778 haveG2192 noG3756 rootG4491, whoG3739 forG4314 a whileG2540 believeG4100, andG2532 inG1722 timeG2540 of temptationG3986 fall awayG868. 14AndG1161 that which fellG4098 amongG1519 thornsG173 areG1526 theyG3778, who, when they have heardG191, go forthG4198, andG2532 are chokedG4846 withG5259 caresG3308 andG2532 richesG4149 andG2532 pleasuresG2237 of this lifeG979, andG2532 bringG5052 noG3756 fruit to perfectionG5052. 15ButG1161 that onG1722 the goodG2570 groundG1093 areG1526 theyG3778, whoG3748 inG1722 an honestG2570 andG2532 goodG18 heartG2588, having heardG191 the wordG3056, keepG2722 it, andG2532 bring forth fruitG2592 withG1722 patienceG5281.
