The Parable of the Sower Explained
13 And
He said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you
understand all the parables? 14 The sower sows the
word. 15 And these are the ones by the wayside where
the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away
the word that was sown in their hearts. 16 These
likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word,
immediately receive it with gladness; 17 and they
have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward,
when tribulation or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately
they stumble. 18 Now these are the ones sown among
thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, 19 and
the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires
for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
20 But these are the ones sown on good ground, those
who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty,
and some a hundred.”
