Jesus continues telling his parable.

## choked them ##

The thorn plants took all the nutrients, water, and sunlight, so the farmer's plants could not grow well.

## produced a crop ##

"grew a harvest" or "grew more seeds"

## Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear ##

It may be more natural in some languages to use the second person: "You who have ears to hear, hear." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])

## Whoever has ears to hear ##

"Whoever can hear" or "Whoever hears me"

## let him hear ##

"let him listen well" or "let him pay attention to what I say"
