19 Every one hearing the word of the kingdom, and not understanding it, the wicked one comes, and seizes away that which is sown in his heart: he is the one sown by the wayside. 20 But the one sown upon the rocks, is he who heareth the word, and immediately with joy receives it; 21 but it has no root in him, but is temporary; and tribulation or persecution arising on account of the word, immediately he is offended. 22 But the one sown among the thorns, is he who heareth the word; and the care of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke out the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23 And the one having been sown on good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who truly bears fruit, and produces, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty. Matthew 13:19-23, Godbey New Testament. Public domain.
