Jesus continues to tell a large crowd of people different parables that describe what the kingdom of God is like.

fell among the thorn plants

"fell where thorn plants would also grow"

choked them

"choked the new sprouts." Use the usual word for the way weeds prevent other plants from growing well.

produced grain

"produced a crop" or "grew more seeds" or "gave fruit"

He who has ears, let him listen

He who has ears

"Whoever can hear" or "Whoever hears me"

let him listen

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