Contextual Overview
4One day there was such a large crowd that he used this story to teach them.
5"A farmer went out to plant his fields. As he spread the seed, some fell on the road, and the birds ate it all up.
6Other seed fell next to some rocks where there wasn't much dirt. The seed took root quickly in the shallow soil, but they withered quickly because there was nowhere for the roots to go.
7Other seed fell among the cactus and thistles. They sprouted, but were choked out by the thorns.
8And finally, some seed found good soil and produced a lot of grain. Some of it yielded thirty times as much, some sixty, and still some a hundred times. Whoever has ears should be listening."
9Later on, when they were alone, some of his cowboys asked about the stories.
10He told them, "The secret of the Boss's outfit has been given to you. But for the sake of everyone else, I teach with stories. They look, but cannot see. They hear, but they cannot understand. If they could see and understand, they would turn to me and be forgiven."
11Then Jesus said, "This is what that story means. The farmer spreads God's good news to others.
12The seed that fell on the road stands for those who hear the good news, but Satan convinces 'em not to listen.
13The seed in the rocks stands for those who love the good news and immediately act like it changes their whole world. But they don't last long because it was all emotion and no faith. They wither quickly when faced with any kind of adversity.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he answered and said unto them,.... Not to his mother and brethren, but to those that told him of them, who either designed to reproach him with them, by reason of the meanness of them, or to interrupt him in his work:
my mother and my brethren are these; pointing to his disciples:
which hear the word of God; which he had been preaching, and was meant by the seed in the preceding parable:
and do it; behave in their lives and conversations agreeably to it; and observe the precepts and ordinances in it; elsewhere called the will of God his Father; :-.
