122. The Parable of the Sower

Matthew and Mark are pretty close to word for word, where as Luke has a lot of similar words but not like Matthew and Mark.

123. The Reason for Speaking in parables

There are several different passages in all but Matthews column, this is done to cover in different areas what is covered here in Matthew

It has to do with Jesus speaking in parables and people shaving eyes but not seeing and having ears but not understanding.

Again there is great similarities between the synoptic gospels

125. “He who has Ears to Hear, Let him Hear
