9Jesus' disciples later asked him about the meaning of the parable he had just told.
10He said, “God is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about how he wants to rule MET over people's lives. But when I am telling other people about these things, I tell them only in parables. The result will be like a prophet predicted long ago: They will see what I am doing, but will not perceive what it means. They will hear what I am saying, but will not understand it.
11So this is the meaning of that parable: The seeds represent God's message.
