Luke 8:4

And when a very great multitude was gathered together, and hastened out of the cities unto him, he spoke by a similitude.

And when a great crowd was assembling, and was receiving additions from one town after another, He spoke a parable to them.

And when a great number of people came together, and men from every town went out to him, he gave them teaching in the form of a story:

Luke 8:5

The 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.

"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.

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.

Luke 8:6

And other some fell upon a rock: and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

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

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

Luke 8:7

And other some fell among thorns, and the thorns growing up with it, choked it.

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

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

Luke 8:8

And other some fell upon good ground; and being sprung up, yielded fruit a hundredfold. Saying these things, he cried out: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

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!"

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.

Luke 8:9

And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.

The disciples proceeded to ask Him what this parable meant.

And his disciples put questions to him about the point of the story.

Luke 8:10

To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see, and hearing may not understand.

"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.

And he said, To you is given knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God; but to the others, they are given in stories, so that seeing, they may not see, and though they give hearing, the sense will not be clear to them.

Luke 8:11

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

The meaning of the parable is as follows. The seed is God's Message.

Now this is the point of the story: The seed is the word of God.

Luke 8:12

And they by the way side are they that hear; then the devil cometh, and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved.

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 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.

Luke 8:13

Now they upon the rock, are they who when they hear, receive the word with joy: and these have no roots; for they believe for a while, and in time of temptation, they fall away.

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.

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.

Luke 8:14

And that which fell among thorns, are they who have heard, and going their way, are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and yield no fruit.

That which fell among the thorns means those who have heard, but as they go on their way, the Message is stifled by the anxieties, wealth and gaieties of time, and they yield nothing in perfection.

And those which went among thorns are those who have given hearing, and go on their way, but they are overcome by cares and wealth and the pleasures of life, and they give no fruit.

Luke 8:15

But that on the good ground, are they who in a good and perfect heart, hearing the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit in patience.

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.

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.

Luke 8:16

Now no man lighting a candle covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it upon a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.

"When any one lights a lamp, he does not cover it with a vessel or hide it under a couch; he puts it on a lampstand, that people who enter the room may see the light.

No man, when the light is lighted, puts a cover over it, or puts it under a bed, but he puts it on its table, so that those who come in may see the light.

Luke 8:17

For there is not any thing secret that shall not be made manifest, nor hidden, that shall not be known and come abroad.

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 put out of view which will not be made clear, and nothing is secret of which the knowledge will not come to light.

Luke 8:18

Take heed therefore how you hear. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given: and whosoever hath not, that also which he thinketh he hath, shall be taken away from him.

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."

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.

Luke 8:19

And his mother and brethren came unto him; and they could not come at him for the crowd.

Then came to Him His mother and His brothers, but could not get near Him for the crowd.

And his mother and his brothers came to him, and they were not able to get near him because of the great number of people.

Luke 8:20

And it was told him: Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

But He was told, "Your mother and brothers are standing on the edge of the crowd, and want to see you."

And someone said to him, Your mother and your brothers are outside desiring to see you.

Luke 8:21

Who answering, said to them: My mother and my brethren are they who hear the word of God, and do it.

"My mother and my brothers," He replied, "are these who hear God's Message and obey it."

But he said to them in answer, My mother and my brothers are those who have knowledge of the word of God and do it.

Luke 8:22

And it came to pass on a certain day that he went into a little ship with his disciples, and he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

One day He went on board a boat both He and his disciples; and He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the Lake." So they set sail.

Now it came about on one of those days that he got into a boat with his disciples; and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the water: and they put out the boat.

Luke 8:23

And when they were sailing, he slept; and there came down a storm of wind upon the lake, and they were filled, and were in danger.

During the passage He fell asleep, and there came down a squall of wind on the Lake, so that the boat began to fill and they were in deadly peril.

But while they were sailing he went to sleep: and a storm of wind came down on the sea, and the boat became full of water and they were in danger.

Luke 8:24

And they came and awaked him, saying: Master, we perish. But he arising, rebuked the wind and the rage of the water; and it ceased, and there was a calm.

So they came and woke Him, crying, "Rabbi, Rabbi, we are drowning." Then He roused Himself and rebuked the wind and the surging of the water, and they ceased and there was a calm.

Then they came to him and, awaking him out of his sleep, said, Master, Master, destruction is near. And he, when he was awake, gave orders to the wind and the rolling waves, and the storm came to an end, and all was calm.

Luke 8:25

And he said to them: Where is your faith? Who being afraid, wondered, saying one to another: Who is this, (think you), that he commandeth both the winds and the sea, and they obey him?

"Where is your faith?" He asked them. But they were filled with terror and amazement, and said to one another, "Who then is this? for He gives orders both to wind and waves, and they obey Him."

And he said to them, Where is your faith? And fear and wonder overcame them, and they said to one another, Who then is this, who gives orders even to the winds and the water and they do what he says?

Luke 8:26

And they sailed to the country of the Gerasens, which is over against Galilee.

Then they put in to shore in the country of the Gerasenes, which lies opposite to Galilee.

Luke 8:27

And when he was come forth to the land, there met him a certain man who had a devil now a very long time, and he wore no clothes, neither did he abide in a house, but in the sepulchres.

Here, on landing, He was met by one of the townsmen who was possessed by demons for a long time he had not put on any garment, nor did he live in a house, but in the tombs.

And when he had come to the land, there came to him a certain man from the town who had evil spirits; and for a long time he had had no clothing on, and was not living in a house but in the place of the dead.

Luke 8:28

And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him; and crying out with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.

When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, and said in a loud voice, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of God Most High? Do not torture me, I beseech you."

And when he saw Jesus, he gave a loud cry and went down on the earth before him and in a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Do not be cruel to me.

Luke 8:29

For he commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For many times it seized him, and he was bound with chains, and kept in fetters; and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the deserts.

For already He had been commanding the foul spirit to come out of the man. For many a time it had seized and held him, and they had repeatedly put him in chains and fetters and kept guard over him, but he used to break the chains to pieces, and, impelled by the demon, to escape into the Desert.

For he gave an order to the evil spirit to come out of the man. For frequently it would take a grip of him: and he was kept under control, and prisoned with chains; but parting the chains in two, he would be sent by the driving of the evil spirit into waste places.

Luke 8:30

Now there was a great herd of pigs in that place, getting food on the mountain: and the evil spirits made a request to him that he would let them go into the pigs, and he let them.

Luke 8:33

The demons came out of the man and left him, and entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently over the cliff into the Lake and were drowned.
