* "
The farmer went out to sow his seed .
As he sowed ,
some fell along the road ,
and it was trampled under foot ,
and the birds of the sky devoured it .
*
Other seed fell on the rock ,
and as soon as it grew ,
it withered away ,
because it had no moisture .
*
Other fell amid the thorns ,
and the thorns grew with it ,
and choked it .
*
Other fell into the good ground ,
and grew ,
and brought forth fruit one hundred times ."
As he said these things ,
he called out , "
He who has ears to hear ,
let him hear !"
*
Then his disciples asked him , "
What does this parable mean ?"
*
He said , "
To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God ,
but to the rest in parables ;
that '
seeing they may not see ,
and hearing they may not understand .' {
Isaiah strkjv @
6:9 }
*
Now the parable is this :
The seed is the word of God .
*
Those along the road are those who hear ,
then the devil comes ,
and takes away the word from their heart ,
that they may not believe and be saved .
*
Those on the rock are they who ,
when they hear ,
receive the word with joy ;
but these have no root ,
who believe for a while ,
then fall away in time of temptation .
*
That which fell among the thorns ,
these are those who have heard ,
and as they go on their way they are choked with cares ,
riches ,
and pleasures of life ,
and bring no fruit to maturity .
*
That in the good ground ,
these are such as in an honest and good heart ,
having heard the word ,
hold it tightly ,
and bring forth fruit with patience .
