19 Everyone hearing the word of the kingdom, and not understanding—the evil one comes, and snatches that which has been sown in his heart; this is that sown by the way. 20 And that sown on the rocky places, this is he who is hearing the word, and immediately with joy is receiving it, 21 and he has no root in himself, but is temporary, and persecution or tribulation having happened because of the word, immediately he is stumbled. 22 And that sown toward the thorns, this is he who is hearing the word, and the anxiety of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, chokes the word, and it becomes unfruitful. 23 And that sown on the good ground: this is he who is hearing the word, and is understanding, who indeed bears fruit, and makes, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty.” Matthew 13:19-23, Literal Standard Version.
