Example: Story:: Literature A Telling of Events A Tale

The document summarizes a parable told by Jesus about a farmer sowing seeds. In the parable, some seeds fell on the path and were eaten by birds, some on rocky ground where they sprouted quickly but died due to lack of roots, and some among thorns which choked out the plants. However, some seeds fell on good soil and produced a large crop. Jesus then explains the meaning, with the different types of soil representing different responses to God's teachings - some do not understand, some accept it briefly but fall away, some are distracted by worldly worries, but some understand deeply and produce abundant spiritual fruit.

A Story About a Farmer Sowing Seed

(Mk. 4:1–9; Lk. 8:4–8)

1That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. 2A large crowd gathered
around him. So he got into a boat and sat down. All the people stayed on the shore. 3Then
Jesus used stories to teach them many things. He told them this story:
“A farmer went out to sow seed. 4While he was scattering the seed, some of it fell by the
road. The birds came and ate all that seed. 5Other seed fell on rocky ground, where there was
not enough dirt. It grew very fast there, because the soil was not deep. 6But when the sun
rose, it burned the plants. The plants died because they did not have deep roots. 7Some other
seed fell among thorny weeds. The weeds grew and stopped the good plants from
growing. 8But some of the seed fell on good ground. There it grew and made grain. Some
plants made 100 times more grain, some 60 times more, and some 30 times more. 9You
people who hear me, listen!”

So listen to the meaning of that story about the farmer:


19“What about the seed that fell by the path? That is like the people who hear the
teaching about God’s kingdom but do not understand it. The Evil One comes and
takes away what was planted in their hearts.
20“And what about the seed that fell on rocky ground? That is like the people who
hear the teaching and quickly and gladly accept it. 21But they do not let the teaching
go deep into their lives. They keep it only a short time. As soon as trouble or
persecution comes because of the teaching they accepted, they give up.
22“And what about the seed that fell among the thorny weeds? That is like the
people who hear the teaching but let worries about this life and love for money stop it
from growing. So it does not produce a crop in their lives.
23“But what about the seed that fell on the good ground? That is like the people
who hear the teaching and understand it. They grow and produce a good crop,
sometimes 100 times more, sometimes 60 times more, and sometimes 30 times
more.”
