Jesus was talking to a crowd gathered beside the Lake of Galilee. From where he was sitting, he might have been watching a farmer sowing seed on his land. The farmer would walk up and down scattering seed in handfuls from a bag slung across his shoulder. |

This was called 'broadcast' sowing. The farmer was never sure exactly where the seed would land, but he hoped to get a good crop from wherever the seed grew. A seed has life in it, but it needs the right conditions to grow and produce fruit. |
