Context of Matthew 13:8

6but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. 7Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9He who has ears, let him hear." 10Then the disciples came and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"

Avoid finding unintended symbolic meanings in every part of a parable.Read the comment
