Luke 8:10 in Context — Luke 8

8 Une autre partie tomba dans la bonne terre: quand elle fut levée, elle donna du fruit au centuple. Après avoir ainsi parlé, Jésus dit à haute voix: Que celui qui a des oreilles pour entendre entende!

9 Ses disciples lui demandèrent ce que signifiait cette parabole.

10 Il répondit: Il vous a étédonné de connaître les mystères du royaume de Dieu;mais pour les autres, cela leur est dit en paraboles,afin qu’en voyant ils ne voient point, et qu’en entendant ils ne comprennent point.

11 Voici ce que signifie cette parabole: La semence, c’est la parole de Dieu.

12 Ceux qui sont le long du chemin, ce sont ceux qui entendent; puis le diable vient, et enlève de leur cœur la parole, de peur qu’ils ne croient et soient sauvés.
