The
Parable of the Sower
The
Parable of the Sower appears in all three synoptic gospels. Matthew
(13:1-23) and Luke (8:4-15) copied Mark’s four-step literary structure
and closely paraphrased his words as well. Mark's first two verses
set the scene, verses 3 to 9 tell the story, verses 10 to 13 declare
the parable a “mystery,” and verses 14 to 20 give the apparent solution
or moral of the riddle. Each Gospel version of the Sower emphasizes
that it contains “mysteries” and each one boasts about how well
those “mysteries” are hidden. Matthew even congratulates any person
who “saw the mysteries that prophets and righteous people had
longed to see but were not clever enough to comprehend.” Millions
of people over the centuries have tried to discover the “mysteries”
that the gospel authors so proudly boasted were hidden within their
parables and miracle stories. Everyone has failed because no one
could figure out the encryption method they used to conceal their
secrets. ... Introduction Continues
