Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23
The Parable of the Sower
That same day Jesus went out of the house
and sat beside the sea. Such great crowds gathered around him
that he got into a boat and sat there, while the whole crowd
stood on the beach.
And he told them many things
in parables, saying: "Listen! A sower went out to sow. And
as he sowed, some seeds fell on the path, and the birds came
and ate them up. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they
did not have much soil, and they sprang up quickly, since they
had no depth of soil. But when the sun rose, they were scorched;
and since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell
among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds
fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold,
some sixty, some thirty. Let anyone with ears listen!"
The Cliff Notes
"Hear then the parable
of the sower. When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does
not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what
is sown in the heart; this is what was sown on the path. As for
what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the
word and immediately receives it with joy; yet such a person
has no root, but endures only for a while, and when trouble or
persecution arises on account of the word, that person immediately
falls away. As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one
who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the lure of
wealth choke the word, and it yields nothing. But as for what
was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and
understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case
a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty."
May we bear fruit one hundredfold,
or sixtyfold, or even thirtyfold!
