'Sower' in the Bible

He told them many things in parables, saying, “Listen carefully: a sower went out to sow [seed in his field];

“Listen then to the [meaning of the] parable of the sower:

“Listen! A sower went out to sow seed;

The sower sows the word [of God, the good news regarding the way of salvation].

“The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell beside the road and it was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the sky ate it up.

Now He who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your seed for sowing [that is, your resources] and increase the harvest of your righteousness [which shows itself in active goodness, kindness, and love].
