Parable 3
The Sower
(Matthew 13:3-9)
A farmer sows his seed. Some falls along the path and the birds come and eat it.
Some seed falls on rocky places and is scorched by the sun because it has no roots.
Other seed falls among thorns and is choked by them.
But some falls on good ground and produces a crop a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown, symbolized by the cornucopia.
[Jesus says, "Listen then to what the parable of the sower means. When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away. The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown."] NIV Bible
