Mark 4:14-20

14The sowerG4687 sowsG4687 the wordG3056. 15TheseG3778 are the ones whoG3588 are besideG3844 the roadG3598 whereG3699 the wordG3056 is sownG4687; and whenG3752 they hearG191, immediatelyG2117 1SatanG4567 comesG2064 and takesG142 awayG142 the wordG3056 which has been sownG4687 in them. 16And in a similarG3668 wayG3668 theseG3778 are the ones sownG4687 with seed on the rockyG4075 places, whoG3739, whenG3752 they hearG191 the wordG3056, immediatelyG2117 receiveG2983 it with joyG5479; 17and yet they haveG2192 noG3756 firm rootG4491 in themselvesG1438, but are only temporaryG4340; thenG1534, when afflictionG2347 orG2228 persecutionG1375 occursG1096 becauseG1223 of the wordG3056, immediatelyG2117 they 2fallG4624 awayG4624. 18And othersG243 are the ones sownG4687 with seed amongG1519 the thornsG173; theseG3778 are the ones who have heardG191 the wordG3056, 19but the worriesG3308 of 3the 4worldG165, and the 5deceitfulnessG539 of wealthG4149, and the desiresG1939 for otherG3062 thingsG3062 enterG1531 and chokeG4846 the wordG3056, and it 6becomesG1096 unfruitfulG175. 20And thoseG1565 are the ones sownG4687 with seed on the goodG2570 soilG1093; and they hearG191 the wordG3056 and acceptG3858 it and 7bearG2592 fruitG2592, thirtyG5144, sixtyG1835, and a hundredG1540 times as much.”
