Who are the people like the seed among the good soil?

Mark 4:20 (ESV)

20 But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.”

The people like the seed among the good soil are those who hear Jesus’ words and accept it. This is a similar message to that taught in Mark 3:31–35, where Jesus emphasized that his family is those who listen to him and obey him.
