Then hear the parable of the sower:

Everyone hearing the Word of the kingdom, and not understanding, then the evil one comes and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is that sown by the roadside.

And that sown on the stony places is this: the one hearing the Word, and immediately receiving it with joy,

but has no root in himself, but is temporary, and tribulation, or persecution occurring because of the Word, he is at once offended.

And that sown into the thorn bushes is this: the one hearing the Word, and the anxiety of this age, and the deceit of riches, choke the Word, and it becomes unfruitful.

But that sown on the good ground is this: the one hearing the Word, and understanding it, who indeed bears and yields fruit, one truly a hundredfold, and one sixty, and one thirty.
