Matthew 13:1-9; Mark 4:1-9; Luke 8:4-8

"There once was a man planting seeds in his field. Some seeds fell beside the road. The birds came and ate them up.
"Other seeds fell on the rock ground, where there was not much soil. Those seeds sprouted up easily enough. Because there was nowhere for their roots to find water, thought, they died as soon as it became hot.
"Some seeds fell among the thistles. The weeds choked the grain plants. Other seeds fell on good soil. These plants grew strong and tall. The fruit they grew was thirty to a hundred times more than what was first planted."
Jesus looked at all the people listening. A few nodded. They understood. But many more were shaking their heads. They did not know what Jesus was talking about. So Jesus explained the story.
