Mark 4:3 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:3

Hearken, behold, there went out a sower to sow.
] By whom is meant Jesus Christ, who came forth from God as a teacher, and went out into the land of Judea to preach the Gospel, which is sowing spiritual things among men; and this may be also applicable to any faithful minister of the word.

Mark 4:3 In-Context

1 Again He began to teach by the sea, and a very large crowd gathered around Him. So He got into a boat on the sea and sat down, while the whole crowd was on the shore facing the sea.

2 He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said to them:

3 "Listen! Consider the sower who went out to sow.

4 As he sowed, this occurred: Some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

5 Other seed fell on rocky ground where it didn't have much soil, and it sprang up right away, since it didn't have deep soil.
