Luke 8:11-16

Haweis(i) 11 Now this is the parable: The seed is the word of God. 12 They by the road side, are such as hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh the word from their heart, that they should not be saved in believing. 13 And they on the rock, are such as when they have heard, with joy embrace the word; and these have not root, who for a time believe, and in a season of trial apostasize. 14 And that which fell among thorns, are they having heard, and going away, are choked by the cares, and wealth, and pleasures of life, and bring forth no perfect fruit. 15 But that on the good ground are they who having heard the word, retain it in a heart excellent and good, and bring forth fruit with patience. 16 No man lighting a lamp hides it with a cover, or putteth it under a bed, but on a stand, that they who are coming in, may see the light.
