Luke 8 Luke 8:1–3 Christ preacheth through the cities, attended by his disciples, and ministered unto by devout women of their substance. Luke 8:4–8 The parable of the sower. Luke 8:9–10 Why Christ taught in parables. Luke 8:11–15 The parable expounded.

Still I cannot but observe, that preaching the gospel, and thereby showing the glad tidings of salvation, (the principal means to bring men to the kingdom of God, whether that in this life, or the kingdom of glory in the life which is to come), was Christ’s great work.
