The Bible story
The Parable of the Sower
Jesus told of a farmer scattering seed. Some fell on the path and the birds ate it, some on rocky ground and withered, some among thorns and was choked, and some on good soil and produced a great crop. The seed is God’s word, and the good soil is a heart that hears it and understands it.
But the seed sown on good soil is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and produces a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.
— Matthew 13:23 (BSB)
