Contextual Overview

¹ And again he began to teach by the side of the sea. And great multitudes were assembled about him; so that he embarked and sat in a ship on the sea, and all the multitude stood on the land by the side of the sea. ² And he taught them much by similitudes. And in his teaching, he said: ³ Hear ye: Behold a sower went forth to sow. ⁴ And as he sowed, some [fn] fell on the side of the path; and a bird came, and devoured it. ⁵ And other [fn] fell on a rock, so that it had not much earth; and it soon shot up, because it had no depth of earth. ⁶ But when the sun was up, it wilted; and because it had no root, it dried up. ⁷ And other [fn] fell among thorns. And the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruits. ⁸ And other [fn] fell on good ground, and came up, and grew, and yielded fruits; some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred. ⁹ And he said: Whoever hath ears to hear, let him hear. ¹¹ And Jesus said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them without, all is in similitudes:

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.
