some fell into good ground
In Matthew 13 the Savior tells the parable of a sower who sowed seeds. Some fell by the wayside and were devoured by birds. Others fell in stony places and grew, but then withered in the sun because they had no root. Still others fell among thorns and were choked. But some fell into good ground and brought forth fruit.
Christ likened the word of God unto a seed. “He that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” (KJV Bible, Matt 13:23).
