2and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary that was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
3and Joanna the wife of Chuzas Herod`s steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered unto them of their substance.
4And when a great multitude came together, and they of every city resorted unto him, he spake by a parable:
5The sower went forth to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it.
6And other fell on the rock; and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7And other fell amidst the thorns; and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.
8And other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
