rsv Luke:8:10-12
rsv@Luke:8:10 @ he said, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but for others they are in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
rsv@Luke:8:11 @ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
rsv@Luke:8:12 @ The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, that they may not believe and be saved.
