Luke 8:11-15

Revised Geneva Translation

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

¹² “And that which are along the way are those who hear, but afterward the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

¹³ “But the ones on the stones are those who, when they have heard the word, receive it with joy. But they have no roots. So, for a while they believe, but in the time of temptation they go away.

¹⁴ “And that which fell among thorns are those who have heard, but after their departure are choked with cares and riches and the pursuit of pleasure. And they bring forth no fruit.

¹⁵ “But that which fell in good ground are those who hear the word with an honest and good heart, and keep it, and bring forth fruit through patience.
