Luke 8:9 WBT

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

⁸  And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit a hundred-fold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

⁹  And his disciples asked him, saying, What doth this parable mean?

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

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