Luke 8:1-6

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.
