# Those that were sown on the good soil
|

|
|
"These people are the seeds that fall on the good soil" or "These people are like seeds that fall on on the good soil." In [verse 14](./14.md), what the sower sows is "the word." Here Jesus speaks of what the sower sows as those who hear the word. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much

This refers to the grain that the plants produce. Alternate translation: "some produce thirty grains, some produce sixty grains, and some produce a hundred grains" or "some produce 30 times the grain that was sown, some produce 60 times the grain that was sown, and some produce 100 times the grain that was sown" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-ellipsis]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-numbers]])
