Luke 8:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

¹² And they by the way side are they that hear; then the devil cometh, and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved.

¹³ Now they upon the rock, are they who when they hear, receive the word with joy: and these have no roots; for they believe for a while, and in time of temptation, they fall away.
