OET-LV And he_was_teaching them many things in parables, and was_saying to_them in the teaching of_him,

OET (OET-RV) From there, he taught them many different things in parables, including this one:

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:1–9: Jesus told a parable about four types of soil

Jesus told a parable about a man who scattered seed in different kinds of soil. The different kinds of soil represent different kinds of people. The seeds thrown by the man represent God’s word. Different kinds of people receive God’s word in different ways.

Satan causes some people to forget God’s Word so they do not accept it. These people are represented by the soil along the path (4:4). Some people accept God’s Word but when troubles or persecution happen to them, they quickly reject God’s Word. These people are represented by the rocky soil (4:5–6). Some people accept God’s Word but worries about daily living cause them to not do anything for God. These people are represented by the soil with thorns (4:7). Some people accept God’s Word and do deeds that honor God. These people are represented by the good soil (4:8).

It is good to translate the section before you decide on a heading for it. Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The parable about four kinds of soil

The parable of the sower and the soils

The four soils parable/story/illustration

A parable of a man scattering seed

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 13:1–9 and Luke 8:4–8.

4:2a

And He taught them many things in parables,

And He taught them many things in parables: This expression indicates that Jesus used parables to teach the people many things.

parables: The Greek word that the BSB translates as parables is literally “comparisons.” Parables teach a lesson or truth by showing how it is like something that people already know about. In this chapter, Jesus used several types of parables, including a symbolic story, metaphors, and wise sayings.

Here are some ways to translate parables in this context:

The word parables was used in 3:23b to describe specific illustrations that Jesus used. See also parable, Type 2, in the Glossary.

4:2b

and in His teaching He said,

and in His teaching He said: This expression introduces one of the parables that Jesus taught.

Here are some other ways to translate this expression:

…telling many stories in the form of parables, such as this one: (NLT)

As he taught he said: (REB)

One parable he taught them was this:
