Matthew 13:41

•  Telling and Explaining Parables (Matthew 13:10-52; Mark 4:10-34; Luke 8:9-18; 13:18-21)
We assume from the accounts of Matthew and Mark that the parable of the sower was delivered from a boat, although this setting is not found in Luke. There is a change of scene when the disciples come to ask Christ why he is speaking in parables. The current heading is connected to this new scene, where Christ explains the parable of the sower and tells other parables about the Kingdom of God.
