Matthew 13:20-22

20But he that is sown on the rocky places — this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,

21but has no root in himself, but is for a time only; and when tribulation or persecution happens on account of the word, he is immediately offended.

22And he that is sown among the thorns — this is he who hears the word, and the anxious care of this life, and the deceit of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
