SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:20
Y stos son los que fueron sembrados en buena tierra: los que oyen la Palabra, y la reciben, y hacen fruto, uno a treinta, otro a sesenta, y otro a ciento.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. And these are they which are sown on good ground , etc..] Such hearers who are intended by the good ground on which other seed fell, are those who are made good men by the grace of God; for there is none good naturally, nor that doeth good, no not one; these are such who hear the word, and receive it ; as the word of God, in whose hearts it works effectually; who receive it not into their heads only, but into their hearts; and having received it, hold it fast, and abide by it in the worst of times: and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, some sixty, and some an hundred ; all bring forth good fruit of the same quality, though not of the same quantity: for a larger exposition of this explanation of the parable, see the notes on ( Matthew 13:19-23).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-20 - This parable contained instruction so important, that all capable of hearing were bound to attend to it. There are many things we ar concerned to know; and if we understand not the plain truths of the gospel, how shall we learn those more difficult! It will help us to value the privileges we enjoy as disciples of Christ, if we seriousl consider the deplorable state of all who have not such privileges. I the great field of the church, the word of God is dispensed to all. O the many that hear the word of the gospel, but few receive it, so as to bring forth fruit. Many are much affected with the word for the present, who yet receive no abiding benefit. The word does not leav abiding impressions upon the minds of men, because their hearts are no duly disposed to receive it. The devil is very busy about careles hearers, as the fowls of the air go about the seed that lies abov ground. Many continue in a barren, false profession, and go down to hell. Impressions that are not deep, will not last. Many do not min heart-work, without which religion is nothing. Others are hindered from profiting by the word of God, by abundance of the world. And those wh have but little of the world, may yet be ruined by indulging the body God expects and requires fruit from those who enjoy the gospel, temper of mind and Christian graces daily exercised, Christian dutie duly performed. Let us look to the Lord, that by his new-creating grac our hearts may become good ground, and that the good seed of the wor may produce in our lives those good words and works which are throug Jesus Christ, to the praise and glory of God the Father.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
20. Such as. A good rendering of the pronoun oitinev, which indicates the class of hearers.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
4:20 {Bear fruit} (karpoforousin). Same word in #Mt 13:23 and #Lu 8:15. Mark gives the order from thirty, sixty, to a hundred, while #Mt 13:23 has it reversed.
