Text: Luke 8:5 "A [the] sower went out to sow his [the] seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it."

Luke 8:9-11 "And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable (the sower of the seed) be? 10. And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. 11. Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God (mysteries of the kingdom of God)."
