In it [the heretic work Memoria apostolorum] the Savior is seen to be secretly questioned by the disciples and showing from the Gospel parable which begins “The sower went out to sow” that the sower was not good. It claims that, if he had been good, he would not have been negligent, scattering his seed neither beside the path, nor in stony soil, nor on uncultivated ground. It wants this sower to be understood as the one who scatters captured souls in various bodies as he wishes.

Here it is seen again and again how ''Mark'' (author) is working as a judaizing writer:
1) he is judaizing the Gnostic Parable of Sower, by identifying the Sower not with the demiurge but with the supreme god.
2) as collateral effect of this judaization of the Parable, the victims of the Parable become the Jews, condemned to not hear and to not see, ''so that they can be not forgiven'' (4:12), whereas in the original Gnostic interpretation, the victims were the souls “captured in various bodies”. These souls are the fragments, the disiepta membra, of the cosmic Primal Man, used by the Archons to create the human race and to give life to the creation. This explains why the death of the Lamb causes the writing of the Names of the Chosen People in the Book of Life (Rev 13:8), this writing itself being made before the creation of the world.
