Luke 8:9 in Context — Luke 8

7 Y otra parte cayó entre las espinas; y naciendo las espinas juntamente, la ahogaron.

8 Y otra parte cayó en buena tierra, y cuando fué nacida, llevó fruto á ciento por uno. Diciendo estas cosas clamaba: El que tiene oídos para oir, oiga.

9 Y sus discípulos le preguntaron, diciendo, qué era esta parábola.

10 Y él dijo: A vosotros es dado conocer los misterios del reino de Dios; mas á los otros por parábolas, para que viendo no vean, y oyendo no entiendan.

11 Es pues ésta la parábola: La simiente es la palabra de Dios.
