Luke 8:12-19

¹²and they that be beside the way, be these that hear; and afterward the fiend cometh, and taketh away the word from their heart, lest they believing be made safe.

¹³But they that fell on a stone, be these that when they have heard, receive the word with joy. And these have no roots; for at a time they believe, and in time of temptation they go away.

¹⁴But that that fell among thorns, be these that heard, and of busy-nesses, and riches, and lusts of life they go forth, and be strangled, and bring forth no fruit.

¹⁵But that that fell into good earth, be these that, in a good heart, and best, hear the word, and hold, and bring forth fruit in patience.

¹⁶No man lighteth a lantern, and covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed, but on a candlestick, that men that enter see light.

¹⁷For there is no privy thing, which shall not be opened; neither hid thing, which shall not be known, and come into open.

¹⁸Therefore see ye, how ye hear; for it shall be given to him that hath, and whoever hath not, also that that he weeneth or he guesseth that he have, shall be taken away from him.

¹⁹And his mother and brethren came to him; and they might not come to him for the people.
