2 And certain women, who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven demons,
3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered unto him of their substance.
4 And when many people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable:
5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit a hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
