Context — The Parable of the Sower

1Once again Jesus began to teach beside the sea, and such a large crowd gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people crowded along the shore. 2And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. 5Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

Mark 4:3 Summary

[In Mark 4:3, Jesus tells a parable about a farmer who goes out to sow his seed, which represents the Word of God. The farmer is like Jesus, who sows the seed of the Word in the hearts of people, as seen in Luke 8:11 and Matthew 13:18-23. Just like the farmer, Jesus wants us to receive the seed of the Word and let it take root in our hearts, so we can bear fruit and become like Him, as described in John 15:1-8 and Galatians 5:22-23.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the farmer in Mark 4:3?

The farmer in Mark 4:3 represents Jesus Himself, who is the sower of the seed, as He explains in Mark 4:14, and this parable is meant to teach us about the kingdom of God and how the Word of God is received by different people, as seen in Matthew 13:18-23 and Luke 8:11-15.

Why did Jesus use parables to teach the crowd?

Jesus used parables to teach the crowd because, as He said in Matthew 13:10-17, it was given to His disciples to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to others it was not given, and parables helped to conceal the truth from those who were not seeking it, as stated in Isaiah 6:9-10 and fulfilled in Matthew 13:14-15 and Acts 28:26-27.

What is the seed that the farmer is sowing in Mark 4:3?

The seed that the farmer is sowing in Mark 4:3 represents the Word of God, as Jesus explains in Luke 8:11, and this is consistent with other scriptures such as Matthew 13:19 and 1 Peter 1:23, which describe the Word of God as a seed that is sown in the hearts of people.

How does this parable relate to our lives today?

This parable relates to our lives today because, just like the different types of soil in the parable, our hearts can be receptive or resistant to the Word of God, and we must examine our own hearts to see if we are receptive to the seed of the Word, as encouraged in Matthew 13:18-23 and 2 Corinthians 13:5.

Reflection Questions

What kind of soil is my heart like, and how can I become more receptive to the Word of God?
What are some ways that I can be a faithful sower of the seed of the Word, just like the farmer in Mark 4:3?
How can I ensure that the seed of the Word takes root in my heart and bears fruit, as described in Matthew 13:23 and John 15:1-8?
What are some common ways that the enemy tries to steal the seed of the Word from our hearts, as described in Matthew 13:19 and 1 Peter 5:8?

Gill's Exposition on Mark 4:3

Hearken, behold, there went out a sower to sow. By whom is meant Jesus Christ, who came forth from God as a teacher, and went out into the land of Judea to preach the Gospel, which is sowing

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Mark 4:3

Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: No JFB commentary on these verses.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Mark 4:3

Ver. 3-20. See Poole on "", and following verses to . The parable is recorded both by Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and is of excellent use: 1. To show the excellency of the word of God, which is here (as in other places) called the word; it is the seed of God, the good seed: and the excellency of the ordinance of preaching, for that is the seed sown. 2. To show us the different effect of the word preached from moral discourses and philosophical disputes, from which can be expected no fruit; but where the sower soweth the word, there is yet a very different effect. Some bring forth the fruit of faith and holiness, and the abiding fruit of it, though in different degrees. But many, yea the most of those that hear it, either bring forth no fruit, or no abiding fruit, which is indeed no true fruit. The causes of this are, some men’ s perfunctory and careless hearing, never regarding to meditate on it, apply it to their own souls, or to hide it in their memories. Others not suffering it to sink into their hearts, and to take root in them, though it may at present a little affect them, and make them matter of discourse. Other men’ s thoughts being taken up with business, and the care of this world, and their hearts filled with the love of the things of this life, which they cannot part with when trouble and persecution for the owning and profession of the gospel ariseth. 3. It likewise teacheth us a sure note of unprofitable hearers of the word, as also of those whom the word is likely to profit, and have any good and saving effect upon. The former hear, but never regard whether they understand what they hear, yea or no. The others are not satisfied with hearing unless they understand; for those who went to him to know the parable, were not the twelve only, (who are often called his disciples emphatically), but those others that were about him, to whom it was given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. 4. The most of our Saviour’ s hearers were doubtless members of the Jewish church, yet our Saviour, , styles the most of them those that are without; which teacheth us that not only such as are out of the pale of the church, but those also who are out of the degree of election, those to whom it is not given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, are in Christ’ s account without. For other things concerning this parable, they are fully spoken to in our notes; See Poole on "", and following verses to .

Trapp's Commentary on Mark 4:3

3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: Ver. 3. Hearken, behold] Christ well knew the fickleness of men’ s spirits, and how every small matter calls them off, when most earnestly set to hear.

Ellicott's Commentary on Mark 4:3

(3) A sower.—Better, the sower.

Cambridge Bible on Mark 4:3

3. Hearken] This summons to attention is peculiar to St Mark. went out] The expression implies that the sower did not sow near his own house, or in a garden fenced or walled, but went forth into the open country. Thomson’s Land and the Book, p. 82.

Whedon's Commentary on Mark 4:3

3. Behold, there went out a sower to sow — The Greek has the article the; the sower. The sower of the seed is the preacher, and the original sower is the Lord himself.
