₁₄ the ^one sowing scatters the word. ₁₅but these are the path
upon which the word is scattered: _and When they hear, Satan
immediately comes and takes away the word having been sown in
their hearts.
₁₆ And these are the like - the rocky ^soil upon which ^{the seeds} are
scattered – who, when they hear the word, immediately and with
joy receive it₁₇ but ^onlyfor a short time, and they have no root in
themselves. Then, tribulation or persecution having arisen because
of the word, they soon fall away.
₁₈And these are the thorns among which the seeds are scattered:
the ^ones having heard the word₁₉but the cares of this age, and
the deceit of riches, and other desires intervene and choke the
word, making it unfruitful.
₂₀And these are the good earth upon which the seeds are
scattered: whoever hears the word and welcomes it and bears
fruit: one, thirty fold; another, sixty; and another, one hundred.

₁₄The sower spreads the word.₁₅ but some are like the path where the
seed was spread. When they hear it, Satan quickly comes and takes
away the word that was sown in their hearts.
₁₆Others are like them, rocky ground where the seeds are spread. When
they first hear the word, they receive it with joy. But they have no
stability, ₁₇and it is only for a short time: when trouble or hostility arises
because of the word, they soon fall away.
₁₈Some are like the thorns where the seeds were spread. They hear
the word, ₁₉but the cares of this age, and the deceit of riches, and other
matters intrude, so choking the word and making it unproductive.
₂₀ And others are like the good soil where the seeds were spread.
Anyone who hears the word and welcomes it and produces fruit: one, thirty
times over; another, sixty; and yet another, a hundred.
