The Parable of the Sower


When a great crowd gathered and people from town after town came to Him (Jesus) He said in a parable:

“A sower went out to sow his seed and as he sowed, some fell on the path and was trampled on and the

birds of the air ate it up. Some fell on the rock and as it grew up, it withered for lack of moisture. Some

fell on the thorns and the thorns grew with it and choked it. Some fell into good soil and when it grew, it

produced a hundredfold.”

As Jesus taught this, He called out, “Let anyone with ears to hear listen!”

The ‘Parable of the Sower’ Explained


Jesus then said, “Now the parable is this: The seed is the Word of God. The ones on the path are those

who have heard, the the devil comes and takes away the Word from their hearts, so that they may not

believe and be saved. The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the Word, receive it with joy

but these have no root, they believe only for awhile and in a time of testing fall away. As for what fell

among the thorns, these are the ones who hear but as they go on their way, they are choked by the cares

and riches and pleasures of life and their fruit does not mature. As for that in the good soil, these are the

ones who, when they hear the Word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart and bear fruit

with patient endurance.”  Luke 8:4-8; 11-15
