'Sowing the Seed' (Cathedral of Hajdúdorog, Hungary) Parable of the Sower (left) in St Mary's Cathedral, Kilkenny, Ireland. The Parable of the Sower (sometimes called the Parable of the Soils) is a parable of Jesus found in Matthew 13:1–23, Mark 4:1–20, Luke 8:4–15 and the extra-canonical Gospel of Thomas. [1]
The first parable Mark relates is the parable of the sower, with Jesus perhaps speaking of himself as a sower or farmer, [4] and the seed as his word. Johann Bengel refers to Christ as the sower, along with others who proclaim the gospel, [5] but the Jamieson, Fausset and Brown commentary notes that the question, "who is the sower?"
The Parable of the Mustard Seed is one of the shorter parables of Jesus. It appears in Matthew ( 13 :31–32), Mark ( 4 :30–32), and Luke ( 13 :18–19). In the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, it is immediately followed by the Parable of the Leaven , which shares this parable's theme of the Kingdom of Heaven growing from small beginnings.
The Parable of the Growing Seed (also called the Seed Growing Secretly) is a parable of Jesus which appears only in Mark 4:26–29. It is a parable about growth in the Kingdom of God. It follows the Parable of the Sower and the Lamp under a bushel, and precedes the Parable of the Mustard Seed.

[1] Lapide notes that peace is personified in this verse, as if the person of peace were rejected by the house and so left, taking the apostles with him. [2]
The modern World English Bible translates the passage as: When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be to you."

That peace only is blessed which is lodged in the heart, and does not consist only in words. And they who love peace, they are the sons of peace. [6] Hilary of Poitiers: The blessedness of the peacemakers is the reward of adoption, they shall be called the sons of God. For God is our common parent, and no other way can we pass into His family ...
The same Apostle teaches, saying, The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace. [ 9 ] Pseudo-Chrysostom : The fruits of a man are the confession of his faith and the works of his life; for he who utters according to God the words of humility and a true confession, is the sheep; but he who against the truth howls forth blasphemies against God ...
