Some Women Accompany Jesus
1 And it happened that {afterward} also he was going about from [one] town and village [to another] preaching and proclaiming the good news concerning the kingdom of God, and the twelve [were] with him,
2
and some women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (who was called Magdalene), from whom seven demons had gone out,
3
and Joanna the wife of Chuza (Herod's household manager), and Susanna, and many others who were helping to support them from their possessions.
The Parable of the Sower
4 And [while] a large crowd was gathering and [they] were going to him from town [after town], he spoke by means of a parable:
5
"The sower went out to sow his seed, and while he was sowing, {some seed} fell on the side of the path and was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6
And other [seed] fell on the rock, and [when it] came up, it withered, because it did not have moisture.
