and some fell on good ground, and growing up bore fruit a hundred fold. Having said these things, he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear. And his disciples asked him, What does this parable mean? And he said, It is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to others in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. But the parable signifies this; the seed is the word of God; those by the way are those who hear, then comes the devil and takes away the word from their hearts, that they may not believe and be saved; those on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy, and they have no root; they believe for a time, and in a time of trial fall away; and that which fell among thorns signifies those who hear, and going away are choked by cares and riches and the pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground signifies those who, with a noble and good heart, hearing the word retain it, and bear fruit persistently.
