New International Version
Matthew 13:20-22
20The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.
21But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
22The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful.
