Luke 8:10

Luke 8:10 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:10

And he said, unto you it is given to know the mysteries of
the kingdom of God
The doctrines of the Gospel, which to have spiritual knowledge is a special and peculiar gift of God. The Vulgate Latin and Persic versions read, "the mystery", in the singular, as in Mark: "but to others in parables"; that is, the doctrines of the Gospel are delivered in a parabolical way to others; to such as "are without", as the Evangelist Mark expresses it, who are strangers and foreigners, and not children, who are not the favourites of heaven, and the disciples of Christ:

that seeing they might not see, and hearing, they might not
understand;
what was delivered to them; see the following notes. (See Gill on Matthew 13:11) (See Gill on Matthew 13:12) (See Gill on Matthew 13:13)

Luke 8:10 In-Context

8 And other fell into good earth [And another fell down into good land], and it sprang up, and made an hundredfold fruit. He said these things, and cried, He that hath ears of hearing, hear he.

9 But his disciples asked him, what this parable was.

10 And he said to them, To you it is granted to know the private of the kingdom of God [To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God]; but to other men in parables, that they seeing see not, and they hearing understand not.

11 And this is the parable. The seed is God's word;

12 and they that be beside the way, be these that hear; and afterward the fiend cometh, and taketh away the word from their heart, lest they believing be made safe. [+soothly those that be beside the way, be these that hear; afterward the fiend cometh, and taketh away the word of their heart, lest they believing be made safe.]
