Bible Sharing and Reflection

The Parable of the Sower (NIV)

13 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. ² Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. ³ Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. ⁴ As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. ⁵ Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. ⁶ But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. ⁷ Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. ⁸ Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. ⁹ Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

Parable of the Farmer Scattering Seed(NLT)

13 Later that same day Jesus left the house and sat beside the lake. ² A large crowd soon gathered around him, so he got into a boat. Then he sat there and taught as the people stood on the shore. ³ He told many stories in the form of parables, such as this one:

“Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seeds. ⁴ As he scattered them across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate them. ⁵ Other seeds fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seeds sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow. ⁶ But the plants soon wilted under the hot sun, and since they didn’t have deep roots, they died. ⁷ Other seeds fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants. ⁸ Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted! ⁹ Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”

Ang Talinghaga tungkol sa Manghahasik(MBBTAG)

13 Noon ding araw na iyon, si Jesus ay lumabas ng bahay at naupo sa tabi ng lawa. ² Dahil sa dami ng taong lumalapit sa kanya, sumakay siya sa isang bangka at doon naupo. Tumayo naman sa dalampasigan ang mga tao ³ at sila’y tinuruan niya ng maraming bagay sa pamamagitan ng mga talinghaga. Ganito ang sinabi niya:

“May isang magsasakang lumabas upang maghasik. ⁴ Sa kanyang paghahasik ay may mga binhing nalaglag sa tabi ng daan. Dumating ang mga ibon at tinuka ang mga iyon. ⁵ May mga binhi namang nalaglag sa mabatong lupa. Dahil manipis lang ang lupa roon, sumibol agad ang mga binhi, ⁶ ngunit natuyo agad ang mga ito nang mabilad sa matinding init ng araw, palibhasa’y mababaw ang ugat. ⁷ May mga binhi namang nalaglag sa may matitinik na halaman. Lumago ang mga halamang matitinik at sinakal ng mga ito ang mga binhing tumubo doon. ⁸ Ngunit ang mga binhing nahasik sa matabang lupa ay namunga; may tig-iisandaan, may tig-aanimnapu, at may tigtatatlumpu. ⁹ Makinig ang may pandinig!”
