Luke 8:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

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.

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.
