Luke 8:1-8 ▼

1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went through every city and village, preaching, and making known the good news of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him;

2 and also certain women that had been cured of evil spirits and diseases; Mary, called Magdalene, out of whom had gone seven demons,

3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him from their means.

4 And when a great multitude had assembled, and they were coming to him from every city, he spoke by a parable:

5 The sower went forth to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the air ate it up.

6 And some fell upon the rock; and when it had sprung up, it withered, because it had no moisture.

7 And some fell in the midst of thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.

8 And other seed fell into good ground, and sprung up, and produced fruit a hundred-fold. When he had said these things, he cried: He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
