“And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:”
While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable — the large crowd from town after town is the setting for the Parable of the Sower. The crowd's size creates the context for the question that will follow about why Jesus speaks in parables — the large crowd is the public audience; the disciples are the private recipients of explanation.
