Matthew 13: 18 - 22; Mark 4: 13 - 20; Luke 8: 11 - 15. Jesus' Explanation.
Therefore hear the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches it away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received the seed by the wayside. But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
This was the explanation given by Jesus for the parable of the sower. This was spoken by Jesus about 1.1/2 years into His earthly Ministry.
