Luke 8:5-13

Luke 8:5-13 CSB

“A sower went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some seed fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds of the sky devoured it. Other seed fell on the rock; when it grew up, it withered away, since it lacked moisture. Other seed fell among thorns; the thorns grew up with it and choked it. Still other seed fell on good ground; when it grew up, it produced fruit: a hundred times what was sown.”   As he said this, he called out, “Let anyone who has ears to hear listen.”   Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean? ”  So he said, “The secrets of the kingdom of God have been given for you   to know, but to the rest it is in parables, so that Looking they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.   , “This is the meaning of the parable:   The seed is the word of God.   The seed along the path are those who have heard and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. And the seed on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy. Having no root, these believe for a while and fall away in a time of testing.
