Mark 4:13-20

131And He said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How will you understand all the parables? 14The sower sows the word. 15These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately 2Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them. 16And in a similar way these are the ones sown with seed on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy; 17and yet they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution occurs because of the word, immediately they 3fall away. 18And others are the ones sown with seed among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word, 19but the worries of 4the 5world, and the 6deceitfulness of wealth, and the desires for other things enter and choke the word, and it 7becomes unfruitful. 20And those are the ones sown with seed on the good soil; and they hear the word and accept it and 8bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundred times as much.”
