SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:11
Es pues sta la parbola: La simiente es la palabra de Dios.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 4-21 - There are many very needful and excellent rules and cautions for hearing the word, in the parable of the sower, and the application of it. Happy are we, and for ever indebted to free grace, if the sam thing that is a parable to others, with which they are only amused, in a plain truth to us, by which we are taught and governed. We ought to take heed of the things that will hinder our profiting by the word we hear; to take heed lest we hear carelessly and slightly, lest we entertain prejudices against the word we hear; and to take heed to ou spirits after we have heard the word, lest we lose what we have gained The gifts we have, will be continued to us or not, as we use them for the glory of God, and the good of our brethren. Nor is it enough not to hold the truth in unrighteousness; we should desire to hold forth the word of life, and to shine, giving light to all around. Grea encouragement is given to those who prove themselves faithful hearer of the word, by being doers of the work. Christ owns them as his relations.

11. The parable is this. According to its interpretation.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
8:11 {Is this } (estin de haute). Means this . Jesus now proceeds to interpret his own parable. {The seed is the word of God} (ho sporos estin ho logos tou qeou). The article with both subject and predicate as here means that they are interchangeable and can be turned round: The word of God is the seed. The phrase "the word of God" does not appear in Matthew and only once in Mark (#Mr 7:13) and John (#Joh 10:35), but four times in Luke (#5:1; 8:11,21; 11:28) and twelve times in Acts. In #Mr 4:14 we have only "the word." In #Mr 3:31 we have "the will of God," and in #Mt 12:46 "the will of my Father" where #Lu 8:21 has "the word of God." this seems to show that Luke has the subjective genitive here and means the word that comes from God.
