What the Fathers say

Mark 4:2

Eastern Fathers

John Chrysostom

For He rouses the minds of His hearers by a parable, pointing out objects to the sight, to make His discourse more manifest.

Catena Aurea by Aquinas ↗

Theophylact of Ohrid

And in order to rouse the attention of those who heard, the first parable that He proposes is concerning the seed, which is the word of God. Wherefore it goes on, And he said to them in his doctrine. Not in that of Moses, nor of the Prophets, because He preaches His own Gospel.
