Contextual Overview
1Again Jesus began to teach beside the sea [of Galilee]. And a very large crowd gathered around Him, so He got into a boat [anchoring it a short distance out] on the sea and sat down; and the whole crowd was by the sea on the shore. 2And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said to them, 3"Listen! A sower went out to sow seed; 4and as he was sowing, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and ate it up. 5"Other seed fell on rocks where there was not much soil; and immediately a plant sprang up because the soil had no depth. 6"And when the sun came up, the plant was scorched; and because it had no root, it dried up and withered away. 7"Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. 8"And other seed fell into good soil, and as the plants grew and increased, they yielded a crop and produced thirty, sixty, and a hundred times [as much as had been sown]." 9And He said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear and heed My words."10As soon as He was alone, those who were around Him, together with the twelve [disciples], began asking Him about [the interpretation of] the parables.

And he said unto them,.... To the multitude of hearers that were on the sea shore attending to the word preached, and among whom, doubtless, there were all those sorts of hearers mentioned in this parable:
he that hath ears to hear, let him hear: observe, and take notice of what has been said, as being of the greatest moment and importance: for a larger explanation and illustration of this parable, see the notes on Matthew 13:3.
