Luke 8:5-8 and while he sowed, some fell by the way-side; and it was trodden down, and the birds of the air devoured it.

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ and while he sowed, some fell by the way-side; and it was trodden down, and the birds of the air devoured it. ⁶ And some fell upon a rock, and springing up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. 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 bare fruit an hundred fold. And saying these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
