Luke 8:6-10

Other seed fell on rocky soil, and when it came up, it withered away because it had no moisture.

Other seed fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it out.

And yet other seed fell into the good soil, and grew up, and produced a crop a hundred times as much.” As He said these things, He would call out, “The one who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

Now His disciples began asking Him what this parable meant.

And He said, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest they are told in parables, so that while seeing they may not see, and while hearing they may not understand.
