- Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy.
- But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
- Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word;
- but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.
- Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop--thirty, sixty or even a hundred times what was sown."
