LU-8:1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout
every city and
village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom
of God: and the
twelve [were] with him,
LU-8:2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits
and
infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven
devils,
LU-8:3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and
Susanna, and many
others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
LU-8:4 And when much people were gathered together, and were
come to him out
of every city, he spake by a parable:
LU-8:5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some
fell by the way
side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured
it.
LU-8:6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung
up, it withered
away, because it lacked moisture.
LU-8:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up
with it, and
choked it.
LU-8:8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare
fruit an
hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He
that hath ears to
hear, let him hear.
LU-8:9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this
parable be?
LU-8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries
of the kingdom
of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not
see, and hearing
they might not understand.
LU-8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
LU-8:12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh
the devil, and
taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should
believe and be
saved.
LU-8:13 They on the rock [are they], which, when they hear,
receive the word
with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and
in time of
temptation fall away.
LU-8:14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when
they have
heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and
pleasures of [this]
life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
LU-8:15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an
honest and good
heart, having heard the word, keep [it], and bring forth fruit
with patience.
LU-8:16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with
a vessel, or
putteth [it] under a bed; but setteth [it] on a candlestick,
that they which
enter in may see the light.
LU-8:17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest;
neither [any
thing] hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
LU-8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to
him shall be
given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that
which he
seemeth to have.
LU-8:19 Then came to him [his] mother and his brethren, and
could not come at
him for the press.
LU-8:20 And it was told him [by certain] which said, Thy mother
and thy
brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
LU-8:21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my
brethren are
these which hear the word of God, and do it.
LU-8:22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into
a ship with
his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the
other side of the
lake. And they launched forth.
LU-8:23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down
a storm of wind
on the lake; and they were filled [with water], and were in
jeopardy.
LU-8:24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master,
master, we
perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of
the water: and
they ceased, and there was a calm.
LU-8:25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they
being afraid
wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for
he commandeth
even the winds and water, and they obey him.
LU-8:26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which
is over
against Galilee.
LU-8:27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of
the city a
certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes,
neither abode in
[any] house, but in the tombs.
LU-8:28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before
him, and with a
loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, [thou] Son
of God most
high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
LU-8:29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of
the man. For
oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains
and in fetters;
and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the
wilderness.)
LU-8:30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he
said, Legion:
because many devils were entered into him.
LU-8:31 And they besought him that he would not command them to
go out into
the deep.
LU-8:32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on
the mountain: and
they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them.
