emtv - Luke:8:1-15

emtv@Luke:8:1 @ Now it came to pass afterward, that He was traveling through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom of God, and the twelve were with Him,

emtv@Luke:8:2 @ and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities; Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

emtv@Luke:8:3 @ and Joanna the wife of Chuza, a supervisor of Herod, and Susanna, and many others who were ministering to them from their belongings.

emtv@Luke:8:4 @ And when a large crowd had gathered, and the [people] came to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable:

emtv@Luke:8:5 @ A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell alongside the road; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it.

emtv@Luke:8:6 @ And other [seed] fell on rock; and when it grew up, it withered away because it had no moisture.

emtv@Luke:8:7 @ And other [seed] fell among thorns, and when the thorns grew up with it, they choked it.

emtv@Luke:8:8 @ But other [seed] fell into good ground, and when it grew up, it produced fruit a hundredfold."Saying these things He was calling out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

emtv@Luke:8:9 @ Then His disciples asked Him, saying, "What does this parable mean?"

emtv@Luke:8:10 @ And He said, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest [they are] in parables, that 'Seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'

emtv@Luke:8:11 @ "Now this is the parable: The seed is the word of God.

emtv@Luke:8:12 @ And those beside the road are they that hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, lest they believe and be saved.

emtv@Luke:8:13 @ But those on the rock are they that, whenever they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of testing fall away.

emtv@Luke:8:14 @ And that which fell among thorns, these are those, who when they heard, go out and are choked with anxieties, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

emtv@Luke:8:15 @ But that which fell on the good ground, these are such who when they heard the word, with a noble and good heart, hold on to it and bear fruit with endurance.
