As a large crowd was gathering, and people were flocking to Him from every town, He said in a parable:
Luke 8:4 In-Context
2
and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out;
3
Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.

While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable:
5
“A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up.
6
Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture.
