Volume I · The Parables of Jesus
The Sower
A parable of Jesus · Matthew 13:1-23
The Lord Jesus told a story about a man sowing wheat. Some seeds fell on the path, and birds ate them. Others fell on rocky ground. They sprouted quickly but dried up in the sun. Some fell among thorns, which stopped them growing.
The story continues in volume I, “The Parables of Jesus”: told in full, illustrated, with everything that follows it.
