Luke 8:14 in Context — Luke 8

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.

13 Ceux qui sont sur le roc, ce sont ceux qui, lorsqu’ils entendent la parole, la reçoivent avec joie; mais ils n’ont point de racine, ils croient pour un temps, et ils succombent au moment de la tentation.

14 Ce qui est tombé parmi les épines, ce sont ceux qui, ayant entendu la parole, s’en vont, et la laissentétouffer par les soucis, les richesses et les plaisirs de la vie, et ils ne portent point de fruit qui vienne à maturité.

15 Ce qui est tombé dans la bonne terre, ce sont ceux qui, ayant entendu la parole avec un cœur honnête et bon, la retiennent, et portent du fruit avec persévérance.

16 Personne, après avoir allumé une lampe, ne la couvre d’un vase, ou ne la met sous un lit; mais il la met sur un chandelier, afin que ceux qui entrent voient la lumière.
