Concept:This question tests the ability to identify the parable that illustrates different responses to the word of God.
Explanation:The Parable of the Sower, found in Matthew 13:1-23, Mark 4:1-20, and Luke 8:4-15, describes how a farmer scatters seed on different types of ground.
The seed represents the word of God, while the various soils represent the hearts of those who hear it.
Some seed falls on the path, some on rocky ground, some among thorns, and some on good soil.
Each type of ground shows a different way people receive and respond to the word of God.
Some hear but do not understand; others receive it joyfully but fall away when trouble comes; others are choked by worldly cares; only the good soil bears fruit.
Because the parable directly uses different soils to explain the varied ways people hear God's word, it is called the Parable of the Sower.
Answer:B. Sower
