Luke 8:13 in Context — Luke 8

11 Esta é, pois, a parábola: a semente é a palavra de Deus.

12 Os que estão junto ao caminho são os que ouvem; depois vem o diabo, e tira-lhes do coração a palavra, para que não creiam nem se salvem.

13 E os que estão sobre a pedra são os que, quando ouvem, recebem a palavra com alegria, mas esses não têm raiz, pois creem por algum tempo, mas no tempo da tentação se desviam.

14 E o que caiu entre espinhos são os que ouviram, e indo, sufocam-se com as preocupações, e riquezas, e prazeres da vida, e não produzem bom fruto.

15 E o que caiu em boa terra, estes são os que, ouvindo a palavra, conservam-na num coração honesto e bom, e dão fruto que permanece.
