Luke 8:10-12

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁰ And He said, “^(A)To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that ^(B)seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

¹¹ “Now the parable is this: ^(C)the seed is the word of God. ¹² Those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they will not believe and be saved.
