Luke 8:5, 8, 15

“A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up.

Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.” When he said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”

But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.
