13
And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?
4
14
The sower sows the word.
4
15
And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown; when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word which is sown in them.
4
16
And these in like manner are the ones sown upon rocky ground, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy;
4
17
and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away.
4
18
And others are the ones sown among thorns; they are those who hear the word,
4
19
but the cares of the world, and the delight in riches, and the desire for other things, enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.
4
20
But those that were sown upon the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold."
