Luke 8
1 And after these things Jesus travelled about the cities and the villages, and proclaimed and announced the kingdom of God. And with him were his twelve disciples,
And it came to pass afterward, that he journeyed through cities and villages, preaching and publishing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him,
2 and those women who were healed of infirmities and of unclean spirits, Mary called Magdalena, out of whom went seven demons,
and certain women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons,
3 and Joanna the wife of Chusa, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to them of their property.
and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who afforded them aid from their substance.
4 And when a great multitude was assembled, and people came to him from all the cities, he said, in similitudes:
And a great multitude collecting together, and people from the cities going out to him, he spoke by a parable:
5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the side of the path, and was trodden upon, and a bird devoured it.
A sower went forth to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way-side; and they were trodden down, and the birds of the air devoured them.
6 And other fell upon a rock, and sprung up forthwith; but, as it lacked moisture, it dried up.
And others fell upon rocky ground; and when they had sprung up they withered away, because they had no moisture.
7 And other fell among thorns, and the thorns sprung up with it, and choked it.
And others fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up with them, and choked them.
8 And other fell on good and fair ground, and sprung up, and bore fruits, a hundred for one. Having said these things, he cried: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
And others fell upon good ground, and sprung up, and bore fruit, a hundred-fold. While saying these things, he cried aloud, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 And his disciples asked him: what meaneth this similitude?
And his disciples asked him what this parable meant.
10 And he said to them: To you it is given, to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to others, it is spoken in allegories; that, while seeing, they may not see, and while hearing, may not understand.
And he said, To you it hath been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to others [[these things are spoken]] in parables; that while seeing they may not see, and while hearing they may not understand.
11 But this is the similitude: The seed is the word of God.
Now the meaning of the parable is this. 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.
Those by the way-side are they that hear; then cometh the Devil and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
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.
Those on the rocky ground are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root; and for a while they believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
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.
And those seeds which fell among the thorns, these are they who, when they have heard, go away and are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
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.
But the seeds on the good ground, these are they who in an honest and good heart, when they have heard the word, hold it fast, and bear fruit with constancy.
16 No one lighteth a lamp, and covereth it with a vessel, or placeth it under a bed, but setteth it upon a light-stand, that all who come in, may see the light of it.
And no one having lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.
17 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be uncovered; nor concealed, that shall not be known and become manifest.
For nothing is secret, that will not be made manifest; nor hidden, that will not be known, and come to light.
18 Take heed how ye hear: for to him that hath, shall be given; and from him that hath not, shall be taken even what he thinketh he hath.
Take heed therefore how ye hear; for whoever hath, to him will be given; and whoever hath not, from him will be taken even what he seemeth to have.
19 And his mother and his brothers came to him, and they could not speak with him, because of the multitude.
And his mother and his brothers came where he was, and could not get to him on account of the crowd.
20 And they say to him: Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, and wish to see thee.
And word was brought to him, Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, desiring to see thee.
21 And he answered and said: My mother and my brothers, are they who hear the word of God, and do it.
And he answering said to them, My mother and my brothers are these, who hear the word of God, and do it.
22 And on a certain day Jesus embarked and sat in a ship, he and his disciples. And he said to them; Let us pass over to the other side of the sea.

23 And while they were rowing, Jesus fell asleep. And there was a tempest of wind on the sea; and the ship was near to sinking.
But as they were sailing, he fell asleep. And there came down a storm of wind on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy.

29 For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit, to come out of the man: for, of a long time he had been held captive by him; and he had been bound with chains, and held in fetters; but he had burst the bonds, and had been driven by the demon into the desert.

38 And the man, from whom the demons had gone out, requested that he might remain with him. But Jesus dismissed him, and said to him:
And the man out of whom the demons had gone besought him that he might be with him. But he sent him away, saying,
39 Return to thy home, and relate what God hath done for thee. And he went away, and proclaimed through all the city what Jesus had done for him.
