where

they had not

earth 2

much, 1

και

ευθεως

εξανετειλεν

δια

and

immediately

sprang up

because of

not

having

depth

of earth;

6

ηλιου

ανατειλαντος

εκαυματισθη

δια

μη

and [the] sun

having risen

they were scorched,

and

because of

not having

fell

upon

yielded

fruit,

one

ειπον

αυτω

δια

εν

And

having 3 come 4 to 5 [him] 6

the 1

disciples 2

said

to him,

Why

in

parables

παραβολαις		λαλεις
speakest thou		to them?

11

ο

αποκριθεις

ειπεν

αυτοις

οτι

said

to them,

Because

to you

it has been given

to know

mysteries

of the

kingdom

of the heavens,

but to them

♦

ου		δεδοται
it has not been given.		♦

12

οστις

Whosoever 2

for 1

has,

shall 3 be 4 given 5

to 1 him, 2

he shall be in abundance;

even

what

he has

shall be taken away

him.

13

δια

Because of

this

in

parables

to them

I speak,

because
