Parable of the SOWER - Parábola do SEMEADOR - MATTHEW / MATEUS 13: 1-16

"HE WHO HAS EARS, LET HIM HEAR"
Jesus told this other parable to a crowd of people on the shore; He had to sit in a boat, so that everybody could see and hear Him. Jesus contou esta outr parábola a uma multidão de pessoas que se encontrava na praia. Ele teve de se sentar num barco para que todos o pudessem ver e ouvir. This Parable is about a FARMER who went out to SOW. The seed fell on different kinds of soil, but only one type of soil produced a good CROP. Esta Parábola é acerca de um AGRICULTOR que saiu para SEMEAR. A semente caiu em diferentes tipos de terreno, mas só um dos terrenos produziu uma boa COLHEITA. Why? Porquê? The question was put by the disciples themselves; they could not follow Jesus' teaching, so... He had to give them the explanation. A pergunta foi feita pelos discípulos de Jesus; eles não conseguiram perceber qual era a lição a retirar da parábola, portanto... Ele teve de lhes dar a explicação.
" ...For the heart of this people has become calloused, and with their ears they scarcely hear, and they have closed their eyes..."
