Parable of the sower
parable of the sower for children
“And a great multitude came together, and those who came to him from every city, and he said to them in a parable, ‘The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and was trodden under foot, and the birds of the air ate it up. Other seed fell on the rock; and when it sprang up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. Some fell among thorns, and the thorns that grew up with it choked it. And some fell on good soil, and sprang up and bore fruit a hundredfold. And as he spake these things, he spake with a loud voice, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
According to the above passages, the seed spoken of is THE WORD OF GOD or “the word of the kingdom.” However, this Word does not have the same result everywhere, since its efficacy depends on the ground where it falls. One of the possible types of terrain is “by the wayside”, which, according to the interpretation of the parable, is composed of people who, although they hear the Word of God, “do not understand it”. What is meant by “do not understand it” we will see from the context. The Greek word translated “understand” in the above passage is the verb “suniemi” which is used 6 times in Matthew 13, 5 times as far as the parable is concerned. So in Matthew 13:13-15 it reads:

“If there is anything more terrifying than a dystopian novel about the future, it is one that has already begun to come true,” Gloria Steinem wrote of Parable of the Sower. Much science fiction presents white male heroes as saviors; in the face of this, Octavia E. Butler became an exponent of Afrofuturism and black feminism. In this novel, the protagonist is Lauren, an African-American teenager trying to survive in an unequal society destroyed by climate change. In the author’s words, “It is the story of a young girl in a very bleak near future who has assembled a new belief system, and who believes this is the answer.”

They are not fables, since they do not involve animal characters with human characteristics, nor allegories, since they are based on facts or credible observations of nature, having most of these elements of everyday life. The parables are contained in the synoptic gospels, three of the four canonical gospels (specifically that of Matthew, Mark and Luke), although they can also be found in some apocryphal gospels, such as that of Thomas and James.
The parables are perhaps the most characteristic element of the doctrine of Jesus Christ recorded in the Gospels. As a whole, in spite of the retouches that they had to undergo in the course of their transmission, they present the stamp of a well-defined personality. Their impact on the imagination made them fixed in the memory and gave them a secure place in tradition. No other part of the Gospel account has for the reader a clearer tone of authenticity.[1] In Harmony of the Gospels.
In Harmony of the Gospels, Cox and Easley provide a Gospel harmony for the parables based on the following accounts: In Matthew: 11, in Mark: 2, in Luke: 18, Matthew and Luke: 4, Matthew, Mark and Luke: 6. They do not list any parables for the Gospel of John.[18] In Matthew: 11, in Mark: 2, in Luke: 18, Matthew and Luke: 4, Matthew, Mark and Luke: 6. They list no parables for the Gospel of John.[18
parable of the sower luke
A sower went out to sow. As he scattered the seed, some of it fell by the roadside; it was trampled under foot, and the birds ate it up. Some fell on the stones, and when it sprouted, the plants withered for lack of moisture. Some fell among thorns, which grew up with the seed and choked it. But some of it fell on good soil; so it sprouted and produced a hundredfold harvest. Luke 8:4-8, NIV
Some people hear the gospel but doubt and irreverence are too great. Just as the seeds on the road never had a chance to touch the ground, the word in people who have the disposition to completely deny God never reaches the heart. Another barrier in this type of person may be fear or deep scars that affect their thinking and feeling.
These people hear God’s message but are distracted by the attractive things of the world. They are more appreciative of their self-image, their job, where they live, their friendships, etc. They can also be people who are stuck in a situation that consumes every aspect of their being. Obsessions are thorns.
