Luke.
CH. VIII. 4-18.
4 And when much people were
gathered together, and were
come to him out of every city,
he spake by a parable:
5 A sower went out to sow his
seed: and as he sowed, some
fell by the way-side; and it
was trodden down, and the
fowls of the air devoured it.
6 And some fell upon a rock;
and as soon as it was sprung
up, it withered away, because
it lacked moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns;
and the thorns sprang up with
it, and choked it.
8 And other fell on good
ground, and sprang up, and
bare fruit a hundred-fold. And
when he had said these things,
he cried, He that hath ears to
hear, let him hear.
9 And his disciples asked him,
saying, What might this
parable be?
10 And he said, Unto you it is
given to know the mysteries of
the kingdom of God: but to
others in parables; that
seeing they might not see, and
hearing they might not
understand.
11 Now the parable is this:
The seed is the word of God.
12 Those by the way-side, are
they that hear: then cometh
the devil, and taketh away the
word out of their hearts, lest
they should believe and be
saved.
13 They on the rock _are
they_, which, when they hear,
receive the word with joy; and
these have no root, which for
a while believe, and in times
of temptation fall away.
14 And that which fell among
thorns, are they, which, when
they have heard, go forth, and
are choked with cares, and
riches, and pleasures of
_this_ life, and bring no
fruit to perfection.
15 But that on the good ground
are they, which, in an honest
and good heart, having heard
the word, keep _it_, and bring
forth fruit with patience.
16 No man, when he hath
lighted a candle, covereth it
with a vessel, or putteth _it_
under a bed; but setteth _it_
on a candlestick, that they
which enter in may see the
light.
17 For nothing is secret, that
shall not be made manifest;
neither _anything_ hid, that
shall not be known, and come
abroad.
18 Take heed therefore how ye
hear: for whosoever hath, to
him shall be given: and
whosoever hath not, from him
shall be taken even that which
he seemeth to have.



§ 55. Parable of the tares. Other parables. _Near Capernaum_?
