And others fell on stony ground, where they sprouted but they dried up because they did not have ⸂roots¦moisture⸃.

And others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.

And others fell on good soil and produced a crop.

(They produced) one hundred times.”

“May the person who has ears, listen!”

(Jesus explained) the parable.

“Those sown along by the path are like those who hear the word,

⎡Satan|the evil one⎤ comes and takes away ⎡the word|that which was sown⎤.

Those on the stony ground,

are those who hear and accept the word with joy, but since they don’t have any roots, they last for a short time.

When trouble or persecution comes along, they ⎡sumble|fall away⎤.

Those sown among the thorns,

are those who hear the word, but worries and wealth choke it so that it does not produce a crop.

Those on the good soil, are those who hear the word, ⸂understand¦accept⸃ it, and bear fruit.”
