[3352.12 --> 3353.20] when the following plow,
[3353.28 --> 3353.98] comes along,
[3354.06 --> 3354.84] and that it grows up,
[3354.92 --> 3355.48] with the seeds,
[3355.52 --> 3356.40] and then chokes it out.
[3357.74 --> 3358.08] Now,
[3358.12 --> 3358.64] like the seed,
[3358.72 --> 3359.56] along the path,
[3359.94 --> 3360.54] it's not like,
[3360.54 --> 3361.16] there's a pile,
[3361.28 --> 3361.94] of thorn bushes,
[3362.08 --> 3362.36] somewhere,
[3362.46 --> 3363.12] that the farmer's like,
[3363.16 --> 3363.26] yeah,
[3363.30 --> 3363.98] I'll throw some seed,
[3364.08 --> 3364.26] in there,
[3364.30 --> 3364.92] and see what happens.
[3365.82 --> 3366.38] This is just,
[3366.46 --> 3368.40] leftover,
[3369.12 --> 3370.12] from the previous cycle,
[3370.78 --> 3371.32] of cropping.
[3372.92 --> 3373.68] And then third,
[3373.80 --> 3374.68] and most significantly,
[3374.68 --> 3376.08] to dispel this,
[3376.14 --> 3377.32] way of reading the text,
[3377.82 --> 3379.18] in Jesus' explanation,
[3379.18 --> 3380.04] of the parable,
[3380.78 --> 3381.70] which is why it's so important,
[3381.78 --> 3382.62] to read the explanation,
[3383.26 --> 3383.40] right,
[3383.44 --> 3384.40] in Jesus' explanation,
[3384.52 --> 3384.90] of the parable,
[3385.06 --> 3386.02] he doesn't say,
[3386.10 --> 3386.62] a thing,
[3386.70 --> 3387.46] about the farmer,
[3388.00 --> 3389.38] right,
[3389.42 --> 3390.06] and the only thing,
[3390.14 --> 3391.04] he says about the seed,
[3391.16 --> 3392.00] is that it's the word.
[3392.74 --> 3393.98] All the explanation,
[3394.38 --> 3395.74] is focused on the soils,
[3396.58 --> 3397.24] the place,
[3397.30 --> 3398.02] where the seed falls.
[3399.10 --> 3399.42] Notice,
[3399.72 --> 3400.68] exactly,
[3400.68 --> 3401.06] then,
[3401.80 --> 3402.42] what he says,
[3402.62 --> 3404.44] in verse 15.
[3405.58 --> 3405.74] All right,
[3405.82 --> 3406.44] some people,
[3406.70 --> 3407.56] and so now we're focusing,
[3407.78 --> 3408.26] on people,
[3408.48 --> 3408.64] right,
[3408.68 --> 3409.26] not the sower,
[3409.64 --> 3410.30] some people,
[3410.44 --> 3411.38] are like the seed,
[3411.72 --> 3412.70] along the path,
[3412.72 --> 3414.28] as soon as they hear it.
[3414.60 --> 3414.92] And then,
[3415.04 --> 3415.68] the next one,
[3416.40 --> 3416.68] others,
[3416.92 --> 3417.50] like seed,
[3417.84 --> 3418.80] sown on rocky places,
[3418.94 --> 3419.72] hear the word,
[3419.98 --> 3420.76] and then the next one,
[3420.80 --> 3421.30] still others,
[3421.40 --> 3421.98] like seed,
[3422.66 --> 3425.06] sown among the thorns,
[3425.28 --> 3426.06] hear the word,
[3426.14 --> 3426.68] and then finally,
[3426.78 --> 3427.32] in the last one,
[3427.68 --> 3427.94] others,
[3428.14 --> 3428.66] like seed,
[3428.66 --> 3429.96] sown on good soil,
[3430.22 --> 3431.60] hear the word.
[3432.30 --> 3432.48] Right,
[3432.50 --> 3433.48] you see what's going on here.
[3433.76 --> 3434.48] Each time,
[3435.16 --> 3436.62] it's about how the word,
[3436.96 --> 3437.76] is heard.
[3438.98 --> 3439.12] Right,
[3439.16 --> 3440.10] and that makes sense,
[3440.30 --> 3441.14] given the context.
[3441.24 --> 3442.14] We've looked at it already,
[3442.20 --> 3443.06] we've pointed it out already,
[3443.14 --> 3444.54] but the parable,
[3444.70 --> 3446.22] the explanation of the parable,
[3446.56 --> 3447.64] is bracketed,
[3448.36 --> 3449.86] by a version of the phrase,
[3449.96 --> 3451.64] whoever has ears to hear,
[3452.00 --> 3454.28] let them hear.
[3456.20 --> 3457.30] And that's the thing.
[3458.66 --> 3460.44] Because what matters,
[3461.02 --> 3461.90] and what we see,
[3462.76 --> 3465.34] is that it's a very particular kind,
[3465.86 --> 3466.44] of hearing.
[3467.72 --> 3468.32] Because,
[3468.86 --> 3469.38] we read it,
[3469.42 --> 3469.56] right,
[3469.62 --> 3471.12] every one of the,
