Contextual Overview
1 AGAIN he began to teach by the sea side; and many people gathered unto him, so that he went up and sat in a boat in the sea; and all the people stood on the land by the sea. 2 And he taught them much by parables, and in his teaching he said, 3 Listen; Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And when he had sown, some fell on the roadside, and the fowls came and ate it. 5 Other fell upon the rock, where there was not sufficient soil; and it sprung up earlier because the ground was not deep enough; 6 But when the sun shone, it was scorched, and because it had no root, it dried up. 7 And other fell among thistles, and the thistles sprung up and choked it, and it bore no fruit. 8 But other fell in good soil, and it sprung up and grew and bore fruit, some thirty, and some sixty, and some one hundred. 9 And he said, He who has ears to hear, let him hear. 10 When they were alone by themselves, those who were with him together with the twelve asked him about that parable.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The sower soweth the word. Though our Lord thought fit to give the above gentle rebuke to his disciples for their dulness; yet he condescends to favour them with an interpretation of the above parable, which here begins: by this it appears, that the seed in the parable, before delivered, and which fell on different sorts of ground, is the word of God, which was preached to hearers of different dispositions: the word is the word of life and truth; the word of peace and reconciliation; the word of faith and righteousness; the word of salvation; the word which publishes and declares all these to be in and by Jesus Christ.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the notes at Matthew 13:18-23.
