The Sower

Behind the Bible Verse: The Stories and History Behind Scripture · Nov 4, 2026 · 13m · transcript

A farmer scatters seed on a path, on rock, among thorns and on good soil, and Jesus tells the crowd from a boat on the Sea of Galilee. We read Mark 4 from the World English Bible, British Edition, then look at the cove where a crowd could have heard him, the long argument over whether farmers sowed before ploughing, what a hundredfold harvest really meant, and the hard saying about parables that sits between the story and its explanation.
