<P> The Parable of the Sower (sometimes called the Parable of the Soils) is a parable of Jesus found in the three Synoptic Gospels in Matthew 13: 1 - 23, Mark 4: 1 - 20, and Luke 8: 4 - 15 . </P> <P> In the story, a sower sows seed and does so indiscriminately . Some seed falls on the path (way side) with no soil, on rocky ground with little soil, and soil which contained thorns, and in those cases it is lost or fails to produce a crop, but when it falls on good soil it grows, yielding thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold . </P> <P> Jesus then (only in the presence of disciples) explains that the seed represents the Gospel (the sower being anyone who proclaims it), and the various soils represent people's responses to it (the first three representing rejection while the last represents acceptance and the extent thereof). It is notable that the sower does not do any sort of soil preparation beforehand; a possible interpretation being that God does that beforehand to the extent He chooses . </P> <P> Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up . And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away . And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit . And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred . And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear . </P>
