Luke 8:9 Context
7And some fell among thornes, and the thornes sprang vp with it, and choked it. 8And other fell on good ground, and sprang vp, and bare fruite an hundred fold. And when hee saide these things, he cryed, He that hath eares to heare, let him heare. 9And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? 10And he said, Unto you it is giuen to know the mysteries of the kingdome of God: but to others in parables, that seeing, they might not see, and hearing, they might not vnderstand. 11Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
