Luca 8:9 In-Context

7 Ed un’altra cadde per mezzo le spine; e le spine, nate insieme, l’affogarono.
8 Ed un’altra cadde in buona terra; ed essendo nata, fece frutto, cento per uno. Dicendo queste cose, gridava: Chi ha orecchie da udire, oda.
9 E i suoi discepoli lo domandarono, che voleva dir quella parabola.
10 Ed egli disse: A voi è dato di conoscere i misteri del regno di Dio; ma agli altri quelli son proposti in parabole, acciocchè veggendo non veggano, e udendo non intendano.
11 Or questo è il senso della parabola: La semenza è la parola di Dio.
