Details most readers miss
One detail changes the whole parable
The Sower
In Galilee, seed was scattered before plowing, so every kind of ground got seed. The story is about four conditions of the same heart.
The Hidden Treasure
Under rabbinic law, treasure found in a field belonged to the field's owner. Buying the field was the only honest way to keep it, and he did it for joy.
The Mustard Seed
"Small as a mustard seed" was a common rabbinic saying. In the Greek it starts as a garden herb and ends as a tree where birds nest.
