Luke 8 — Context

4

The Parable of the Sower While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from one town after another, he spoke to them in a parable:

5

“A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled on, and the wild birds devoured it.

6

Other seed fell on rock, and when it came up, it withered because it had no moisture.

7

Other seed fell among the thorns, and they grew up with it and choked it.

8

But other seed fell on good soil and grew, and it produced a hundred times as much grain.” As he said this, he called out,“The one who has ears to hear had better listen!”

9

Then his disciples asked him what this parable meant.

10

He said,“You have been given the opportunity to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that although they see they may not see, and although they hear they may not understand.
