    The document provides context and analysis of the Parable of the Sower from the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It explains that Jesus told this parable as the Pharisees were increasingly scrutinizing and attacking him. The parable describes a sower who scatters seeds, some of which fall on rocky ground and do not take root due to a lack of soil, withering when the sun rises. This represents people who initially respond with enthusiasm to God's word but do not commit fully and fall away when faced with persecution or hardship. The gospels each provide different details in their telling of the parable.

    PARABLE OF THE SOWER

    PARABLE OF THE SOWER


    WHAT IS PARABLE OF GROWING SEEDS?
    • The Parable of the Growing Seed is thus about the growth of the
    kingdom of God until Jesus returns, during which time we must
    patiently sow the seed of the Word in anticipation of a harvest.
    The parable refers to an intervening time between the first and
    second coming of Jesus as the Messiah.
    WHY DID JESUS SPEAK IN PARABLES?
    • According to Matthew, Jesus speaks in parables because the
    people do not see, hear and understand him. The reason for their
    inability to comprehend, is their rejection of Jesus.
    THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER

    * (MATTHEW 13:1-4 ; MARK 4:1-9 ; LUKE


    8:4-8), WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?
    WHAT EVENTS LED UP TO JESUS
    TELLING THE PARABLE?
    - Matthew (Matt 12) reveals that Jesus is
    under increasing scrutiny and attacks by the
    Pharisees as they challenge His authority.
    Mark (Mark 3) reveals that the Pharisees are
    plotting with the Herodians (aristocratic Jews
    who support Herod Antipas) to destroy Jesus.
    Luke (Luke7) reveals that Jesus is going
    around preaching and proclaiming the
    kingdom of God.
    THE DIFFERENCES IN THE STORY OF THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER IN THE
    GODPEL OF MATTHEW,MARK AND LUKE
    Matthew 13:1-9
    • 1) That day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting by the sea.
    • 2) And large crowds gathered to Him, so He got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd
    was standing on the beach.
    Mark 4:1-9
    • 1) He began to teach again by the sea and such a very large crowd gathered to Him that He got
    into a boat in the sea and sat down; and the whole crowd was by the sea on the land. 2) And He
    was teaching them many things in parables.
    Luke 8:4-8
    • 4) When a large crowd was coming together, and those from the various cities were journeying to
    Him, He spoke by way of a parable:

    Observations:
    • Matthew and Mark indicate that the location is by the Sea of
    Galilee. Luke indicates that a large group of people were
    gathering "from town after town."
    SOME SEEDS FELL ON THE ROCKY GROUND

    Matthew 13:1-9
    • 5) Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because
    they had no depth of soil. 6) But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they
    withered away.

    Mark 4:1-9
    5) Other seed fell on the rocky ground where it did not have much soil; and immediately it sprang up because it had
    no depth of soil. 6) And after the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

    Luke 8:4-8
    • 6) Other seed fell on rocky soil, and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

    Observations:

    • Each gospel account reveals different details about the parable.


    ROCKY GROUND

    PARABLE;
    • Some seed fell on rocky ground where there was little soil. The seed soon sprouted, but when the sun came
    up it burnt the young plants.
    MEANING
    • The seed on the rocky ground represents people who respond with initial enthusiasm, but the word of God
    does not sink in deep. When persecution or hard times (represented by the sun) come along they give up at
    once.
    SIGNIFICANCE FOR TODAY
    • People cannot commit to the Christian lifestyle. They are initially attracted but give up when the life gets tough.
    .What does the second soil in the parable of the sower
    represent?
    Matthew 13:20-21
    20.The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and
    immediately receives it with joy; 21) yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when
    affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away.

    Mark 4:16-17
    16. In a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear
    the word, immediately receive it with joy; 17) and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only
    temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they fall away.

    Luke 8:12
    13) Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no
    firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away.
    What does the second soil in the parable of the
    sower represent?
    • Whether Jesus was making a comment about the saved and unsaved, it is
    not clear. However, as Jesus is explaining this parable to His disciples in
    regard to the kingdom, it is clear that the kingdom is not determined by how
    one initially responds to the gospel. All three gospel accounts record that the
    "word was received with joy;" yet Jesus wanted the disciples to know that the
    person fell away, because he did not fully understand, believe or trust the
    good news of the kingdom when challenged by his peers or culture.
