8:11 “Now the parable means ¹  this: The seed is the word of God.

Luke 12:9

12:9 But the one who denies me before men will be denied before God’s angels.

Luke 12:23

12:23 For there is more to life than food, and more to the body than clothing.

Luke 20:30

[8:11]  ¹ tn Grk “is,” but in this context it is clearly giving an explanation of the parable.

[20:30]  ² tc Most mss (A W Θ Ψ Ë^1,13 33 Ï lat) have the words, “took the wife and this one died childless” after “the second.” But this looks like a clarifying addition, assimilating the text to Mark 12:21. In light of the early and diverse witnesses that lack the expression (א B D L 0266 892 1241 co), the shorter reading should be considered authentic.
