Jesus explains why the seeds prosper or fail. Seeds sown on the path, on rocky ground, among the thorns, will die. The soil is not conducive to seeds taking root. However, if the soil is rich and fertile, the seeds will grow. Jesus is speaking to the crowd about the spiritual disposition to hear the word of God and about that which gets in the way of their hearing God’s word and will.
