  1. Luke 8:4–10Rank 1 from verse 1
    Open

    4¶ And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:

    5A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

    6And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

    7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

    8And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

    9And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?

    10And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

    1THE same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

    2And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

    3And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

    4And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

    5Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

    6And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

    7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

    8But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

    9Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

    10And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

    11He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

    12For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

    13Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

    14And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

    15For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

    1AND he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

    2And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,

    3Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

    4And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

    5And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

    6But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

    7And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

    8And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

    9And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

    10And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

    11And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

    12That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
