A man went out to put in seed, and while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside and it was crushed under foot, and was taken by the birds of heaven.

"The sower," He said, "goes out to sow his seed; and as he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and is trodden upon, or the birds of the air come and peck it up.

"The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell by the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.

Luke 8:6

And some went on the rock, and when it came up it became dry and dead because it had no water.

Another part drops upon the rock, and after growing up it withers away for want of moisture.

Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

Luke 8:7

And some went among thorns, and the thorns came up with it and it had no room for growth.

Another part falls among the thorns, and the thorns grow up with it and stifle it.

Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.

Luke 8:8

And some falling on good earth, came up and gave fruit a hundred times as much. And with these words he said in a loud voice, He who has ears, let him give ear.

But some of the seed falls into good ground, and grows up and yields a return of a hundred for one." While thus speaking, He cried aloud and said, "Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"

"To you," He replied, "it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God; but all others are taught by parables, in order that they may see and yet not see, and may hear and yet not understand.

He said, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables; that 'seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'

Luke 8:12

Those by the side of the road are those who have given hearing; then the Evil One comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not have faith and get salvation.

Those by the way-side are those who have heard, and then the Devil comes and carries away the Message from their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

Those by the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.

And those on the rock are those who with joy give hearing to the word; but having no root, they have faith for a time, and when the test comes they give up.

Those on the rock are the people who on hearing the Message receive it joyfully; but they have no root: for a time they believe, but when trial comes they fall away.

Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, and fall away in time of temptation.

Luke 8:15

And those in the good earth are those who, having given ear to the word, keep it with a good and true heart, and in quiet strength give fruit.

But as for that in the good ground, it means those who, having listened to the Message with open minds and in a right spirit, hold it fast, and patiently yield a return.

That in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Luke 8:16

"No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.

There is nothing hidden, which shall not be openly seen; nor anything secret, which shall not be known and come into the light of day.

For nothing is hidden, that will not be revealed; nor anything secret, that will not be known and come to light.

Luke 8:18

So take care how you give hearing, for to him who has will be given, and from him who has not will be taken even what he seems to have.

Be careful, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has anything, to him more shall be given, and whoever has nothing, even that which he thinks he has shall be taken away from him."

Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn't have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has."
