Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
All Commentaries on Luke 8:11 Go To Luke 8
Ephrem The Syrian
AD 373
“That which fell on the rock … ” The good Lord revealed his mercy. Although the hardness of the ground was not cultivated, he did not withhold its seed from it. This ground represents those who turn away from his teaching like those who said, “This word is hard; who can listen to it?” It is like Judas, who heard his word and flourished through his signs but was without fruit in the moment of testing.
