Lucas 8:8

8 Pero otra parte cayó en buen terreno; así que brotó y produjo una cosecha del ciento por uno».Dicho esto, exclamó: «El que tenga oídos para oír, que oiga».

Lucas 8:8 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:8

And other fell on good ground
The Syriac version reads, "on good and beautiful ground"; and so the Cambridge copy of Beza's; ground which both looked well, and proved well; and signifies such hearers who have good and honest hearts, made so by the Spirit of God; who receive the word in the love of it, have a spiritual understanding, and real experience of it;

and sprang up, and bare fruit, an hundred fold;
or, "a hundred for one", as the Syriac version renders it; a hundred grains for one that was sown. The Ethiopic version adds, "and it was to thirty, and it was to sixty": that is, as the other evangelists say, "some thirty", and "some sixty fold"; for the word of God is more fruitful in some of those gracious hearers, than in others:

and when he had said these things, he cried:
with a loud voice, that what he was about to say might be attended to:

he that hath ears to hear, let him hear;
see this parable more largely explained in the following notes. (See Gill on Matthew 13:3) (See Gill on Matthew 13:4) (See Gill on Matthew 13:5) (See Gill on Matthew 13:6) (See Gill on Matthew 13:7) (See Gill on Matthew 13:8) (See Gill on Matthew 13:9)

Lucas 8:8 In-Context

6 Otra parte cayó sobre las piedras y, cuando brotó, las plantas se secaron por falta de humedad.

7 Otra parte cayó entre espinos que, al crecer junto con la semilla, la ahogaron.

8 Pero otra parte cayó en buen terreno; así que brotó y produjo una cosecha del ciento por uno».Dicho esto, exclamó: «El que tenga oídos para oír, que oiga».

9 Sus discípulos le preguntaron cuál era el significado de esta parábola.

10 «A ustedes se les ha concedido que conozcan los secretos del reino de Dios —les contestó—; pero a los demás se les habla por medio de parábolas para que»“aunque miren, no vean;aunque oigan, no entiendan”.
