Luke 8:11-15

Murdock(i) 11 But this is the similitude: The seed is the word of God. 12 And those by the side of the path, are they that hear the word, and the enemy cometh and taketh the word out of their heart, that they may not believe and live. 13 And those upon the rock, are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy: but they have no root in them, and their faith is temporary, and in time of temptation they are stumbled. 14 And that which fell among thorns, are those who hear the word, but are choked by cares, and by riches, and by worldly desires, and bear no fruits. 15 And that on good ground, are those who, with a humble and good heart, hear the word, and retain it, and with patience bring forth fruits.
