 # these are the seed sown on the rocky ground
 
-"These people are the seeds that fall on the rocky ground" or "These people are like seeds that fall on the rocky ground." In [verse 14](./14.md), what the sower sows is "the word." Here Jesus speaks of what the sower sows as those who hear the word. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
