SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:8
Y otra parte cay en buena tierra, y cuando fue nacida, llev fruto a ciento por uno . Diciendo estas cosas clamaba: El que tiene oídos para oír, oiga.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 8. And other fell on good ground , etc.] The Syriac version reads, on good and beautiful ground; and so the Cambridge copy of Beza's; ground which both looked well, and proved well; and signifies such hearers who have good and honest hearts, made so by the Spirit of God; who receive the word in the love of it, have a spiritual understanding, and real experience of it; and sprang up, and bare fruit, an hundred fold ; or, a hundred for one, as the Syriac version renders it; a hundred grains for one that was sown. The Ethiopic version adds, and it was to thirty, and it was to sixty: that is, as the other evangelists say, some thirty, and some sixty fold; for the word of God is more fruitful in some of those gracious hearers, than in others: and when he had said these things, he cried : with a loud voice, that what he was about to say might be attended to: he that hath ears to hear, let him hear ; see this parable more largely explained in the following notes. (See Gill on Matthew 13:3-9) Ver. 9. And his disciples asked him , etc.] That is, as Mark says, when he was alone; after the multitude were departed, and they were by themselves, it may be in some house with other disciples: saying, what might this parable be ? what is the sense and meaning of it?
According to Matthew, they asked why he spake in parables to the people; and to such a question the following words are a proper answer.
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.

8. A hundred-fold. Omitting the thirty and sixty of Matthew and Mark. See on Matt. xiii. 8.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
8:8 {A hundredfold} (hekatonplasiona). Luke omits the thirty and sixty of #Mr 4:8; Mt 13:8. {He cried} (efwnei). Imperfect active, and in a loud voice, the verb means. The warning about hearing with the ears occurs also in #Mr 4:9; Mt 13:9.
