    The parable describes a farmer who scatters seed on different types of soil. Some seed falls on the path and is eaten by birds. Some falls on rocky ground and springs up quickly but withers under the hot sun. Some falls among thorns that choke it. But some falls on good soil and produces a large crop. Jesus uses this parable to teach that how people receive God's word depends on the condition of their heart, and only those whose hearts are prepared will accept it and produce faith.
