There is a well-known Parable of the Sower with explanations by Jesus Himself. I will say here that Luke’s version of the parable is somewhat abbreviated, but it is clear that he understands this parable as a description of the process of ripening and bearing fruit. Not everyone successfully completes this process to the end, although everyone has been included in it, at least to a small extent, and everyone is called to this maturation in the Lord. The description shows what common obstacles are possible to the successful completion and the bearing of much fruit. This understanding is indicated, in particular, by the words of Luke VIII, 14-15, where the words ‘τελεσφορουσιν’ – ‘telesphorousin’ – ‘not reaching maturity’, ‘υπομονη’ - ‘hypomone’ – ‘patient endurance, which requires time, persistence’.
In general, the parable and its explanation are very similar to
similar passages in Matthew (Matthew XIII, 1-23) and Mark (Mark IV,
1-20), which can be found here:
