Parable 14: the Sower

A sower went out his seed to sow. Some of it fell on the path and so exposed on the ground by birds it was found. Other seed over the rocks did blow so without much soil when the sun arose growth to the scorching heat was exposed and so withered away. Yet more seed did stray among thorns where its growth was foreclosed. But for seed that fell in soil that was good it thrived and grew to yield grain that would increase a hundred fold. As when the word is told much will be lost but some understood. Wherever you broadcast the Word some may listen but think it absurd. While some will neglect it and others forget it, some with joy will share what they've heard. Mark 4.3-20
