The Farmer and the Seeds

Name Date

Read the Story

Jesus told a story about a farmer. The farmer threw seeds on the ground. Some seeds fell on the path, and birds ate them.

Some seeds fell on rocky ground, and the plants dried up. Some seeds fell in thorns, and the thorns choked the plants.

But some seeds fell on good soil. They grew and grew and made lots of grain! Jesus said the seed is God's word. People who listen and understand are like the good soil.

Memory Verse

“Others fell on good soil and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”

Matthew 13:8 (WEB)
