Notice the prepositions in relation to the see (Bock, 767)

Our response is to
Verse 8 - this is important
Verse 10
And he said, “Go, and say to this people:
“ ‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’
10 Make the heart of this people dull,
and their ears heavy,
and blind their eyes;
lest they see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”
Parable is designed both to conceal and to teach.
Not merely just conceal (Bock, 728)
Some hear and understand
Observations (mostly from Bock)
Some d
Category is good soil versus not good soil
This is not a view of how an individual always responds to the word.
Often times, it’s a mixture of all 4. BUT only one is favorable

You’re not letting go now that you have it.
Nothing else matters.
Restraint - holding someone or something back

In contrast with Luke 8:1-3
