What did Jesus say about Gospel Proclamation?

¹³ “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?

¹⁴ The farmer sows the word.

¹⁵ The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

¹⁶ These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.

¹⁷ They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.

¹⁸ Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,

⁹ “Rejoice!”

¹⁰ “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.”

¹⁸ ‘Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not receive testimony concerning me from you.’
