1. And it came to pass afterward that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and announcing the gospel of the kingdom of God, and the twelve with him,
2. and certain women, who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
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 along the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
