 {Verily beareth fruit} (d(8820)karpophorei). Who in reality
(d(885c)) does bear fruit (cf.  Mt 7:16-20 ). The fruit reveals the
character of the tree and the value of the straw for wheat. Some
grain must come else it is only chaff, straw, worthless. The
first three classes have no fruit and so show that they are
unfruitful soil, unsaved souls and lives. There is variety in
those who do bear fruit, but they have some fruit. The lesson of
the parable as explained by Jesus is precisely this, the variety
in the results of the seed sown according to the soil on which it
falls. Every teacher and preacher knows how true this is. It is
the teacher's task as the sower to sow the right seed, the word
of the kingdom. The soil determines the outcome. There are
critics today who scout this interpretation of the parable by
Jesus as too allegorical with too much detail and probably not
that really given by Jesus since modern scholars are not agreed
on the main point of the parable. But the average Christian sees
the point all right. This parable was not meant to explain all
the problems of human life.
