Contextual Overview

1And He began to teach again by the sea. And such a very large crowd gathered to Him that He got into a boat in the sea and sat down; and the whole crowd was by the sea on the land. 2And He was teaching them many things in parables, and was saying to them in His teaching, 3"Listen to this! Behold, the sower went out to sow; 4and it happened that as he was sowing, some seed fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate it up. 5And other seed fell on the rocky ground where it did not have much soil; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of soil. 6And after the sun rose, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7And other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no crop. 8And other seeds fell into the good soil, and as they grew up and increased, they were yielding a crop and produced thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold." 9And He was saying, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." 10And when He was alone, His followers, along with the twelve, began asking Him about the parables.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said unto them,.... To the multitude of hearers that were on the sea shore attending to the word preached, and among whom, doubtless, there were all those sorts of hearers mentioned in this parable:

he that hath ears to hear, let him hear: observe, and take notice of what has been said, as being of the greatest moment and importance: for a larger explanation and illustration of this parable, see the notes on Matthew 13:3.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the parable of the sower explained in the notes at Matthew 13:1-9.
