Luke 8:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 8:5

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.

7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it.

8 But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded¹ a crop a hundredfold.” When He had said these things He cried, ^a“He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

The Purpose of Parables

9 ^aThen His disciples asked Him, saying, “What does this parable mean?”
