Luke 8:1

Luke 8:1

Many Women Minister to Jesus

1 Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and¹ bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him,

2 and ^acertain women who had been healed of evil spirits and¹ infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, ^bout of whom had come seven demons,

3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for¹ Him from their substance.

The Parable of the Sower

4 ^aAnd when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable:

5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it.

6 Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture.
