“Qui respondens ait illis : Qui seminat bonum semen, est Filius hominis.”
“He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;”
“He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.”
“He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,”
“And he answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;”
(2.) The sower that scatters the seed is our Lord Jesus Christ, either by himself, or by his ministers; see v. 37. The people are God's husbandry, his tillage, so the word is; and ministers are labourers together with God, 1 Cor 3 9. Preaching to a multitude is sowing the corn; we know not where it must light; only see that it be good, that it be clean, and be sure to give it seed enough. The sowing of the word is the sowing of a people for God's field, the corn of his floor, Isa 21 10.
