Luke:8:1 @
And it came to pass thereafter ,
that he was going through every city and village ,
preaching and proclaiming good news of the reign of God ,
and the twelve [
are ]
with him ,
ylt @
Luke:8:2 @
and certain women ,
who were healed of evil spirits and infirmities ,
Mary who is called Magdalene ,
from whom seven demons had gone forth ,
ylt @
Luke:8:3 @
and Joanna wife of Chuza ,
steward of Herod ,
and Susanna ,
and many others ,
who were ministering to him from their substance .
ylt @
Luke:8:4 @
And a great multitude having gathered ,
and those who from city and city were coming unto him ,
he spake by a simile :
ylt @
Luke:8:5 @'
The sower went forth to sow his seed ,
and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way ,
and it was trodden down ,
and the fowls of the heaven did devour it .
ylt @
Luke:8:6 @'
And other fell upon the rock ,
and having sprung up ,
it did wither ,
through not having moisture .
ylt @
Luke:8:7 @'
And other fell amidst the thorns ,
and the thorns having sprung up with it ,
did choke it .
ylt @
Luke:8:8 @'
And other fell upon the good ground ,
and having sprung up ,
it made fruit an hundred fold .'
These things saying ,
he was calling , '
He having ears to hear --
let him hear .'
ylt @
Luke:8:9 @
And his disciples were questioning him ,
saying , '
What may this simile be ?'
ylt @
Luke:8:10 @
And he said , '
To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God ,
and to the rest in similes ;
that seeing they may not see ,
and hearing they may not understand .
ylt @
Luke:8:11 @'
And this is the simile :
The seed is the word of God ,
ylt @
Luke:8:12 @
and those beside the way are those hearing ,
then cometh the Devil ,
and taketh up the word from their heart ,
lest having believed ,
they may be saved .
ylt @
Luke:8:13 @'
And those upon the rock :
They who ,
when they may hear ,
with joy do receive the word ,
and these have no root ,
who for a time believe ,
and in time of temptation fall away .
ylt @
Luke:8:14 @'
And that which fell to the thorns :
These are they who have heard ,
and going forth ,
through anxieties ,
and riches ,
and pleasures of life ,
are choked ,
and bear not to completion .
ylt @
Luke:8:15 @'
And that in the good ground :
These are they ,
who in an upright and good heart ,
having heard the word ,
do retain [
it ],
and bear fruit in continuance .
