In context
2 as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:
5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.
8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
