The '''Parable of the Sower''' (sometimes called the Parable of the Soils) is a parable of Jesus found in three of the four Gospels: {{bibleverse||Matthew|13:1-23|9}}, {{bibleverse||Mark|4:1-20|9}}, and {{bibleverse||Luke|8:1-15|9}}.  John's account of the Gospel does not include this parable.

It should be noted that the sower did no soil preparation ahead of time (as a farmer sowing real seed would do).  A possible interpretation is that God Himself prepares people's hearts ahead of time (or tries to, but man can accept or reject) before the Word is proclaimed.

{{Bible quote|And [[Jesus Christ|He]] spake many things unto them in [[parable]]s, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and devoured them up; Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth; and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth; And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them; But other fell into good ground, and brough forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.|book=Matthew|chap=13|verses=3-9|version=KJV}}

{{Bible quote|Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When anyone heareth the word of the [[kingdom]], and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which receiveth seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while; for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this [[world]], and the [[deceit]]fulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.|book=Matthew|chap=13|verses=18-23|version=KJV}}
