Context of Matthew 13:8

6But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out. And others fell on the good soil and yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty. 9He who has ears, let him hear.” 10And 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
