Luke 8:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.

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.

¹¹ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
