PARABLE 1 OF 22
The Sower and the Seed
Mattityahu 13:1–23
PARABLE · TO THE CROWDS
Yeshua tells of seed scattered on four kinds of ground — the path, the rocks, the thorns, the good soil — and what becomes of each.
The seed is the word of the Kingdom. The grounds are conditions of the human heart that receive it. Yeshua names why some hear and never bear fruit, and why good soil bears thirty-, sixty-, hundredfold. Hearing is not the same as receiving.
