“But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.”
Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. The good soil produces the harvest — in three grades of abundance (hundredfold, sixtyfold, thirtyfold) that all represent extraordinary yield. The harvest that the good soil produces is not uniform: the same good-soil reception produces different levels of fruitfulness. The parable does not rank the grades of the good-soil harvest but acknowledges the genuine fruitfulness of all three.
