Contextual Overview

4And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming to Him, He spoke by an allegory: 5"The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the sky devoured it. 6And other fell on the rock, and having sprung up, it withered, through having no moisture. 7And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, choked it. 8And other fell on the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit a hundredfold." Saying these things, He was calling, "He having ears to hear—let him hear." 9And His disciples were questioning Him, saying, "What may this allegory be?" 10And He said, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in allegories, that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. 11And this is the allegory: the seed is the word of God, 12and those beside the way are those hearing, then comes the Devil, and takes up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved. 13And those on the rock: they who, when they may hear, receive the word with joy, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it was told him by certain, which said,.... The phrase, "which said", is omitted in the Vulgate Latin version, and in Beza's most ancient copy. The Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions only read, "and they said unto him"; and the Persic version renders it, "a certain person said"; some one person, as in Matthew 12:47

thy mother, and thy brethren, stand without, desiring to see thee; and to speak with thee, as in Matthew 12:47.

Matthew 12:47- :.
