Hear ye therefore the lesson parable story of the sower. When any one heareth the teaching word message of the kingdom, and comprehends grasps understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one adversary evil one , and snatches catcheth takes away that which was sown in his heart soul mind . This is he which received seed by the way side road path . But he that received the seed into stony rocky hard places, the same is he that heareth the message word teaching , and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not depth foundation root in himself, but lasts dureth remains for a while: for when tribulation hardship trials or opposition suffering persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended discouraged stumbled . He also that received seed among the thorns weeds brambles is he that heareth the word; and the care of this age life world , and the deceitfulness of riches possessions wealth , choke strangle suffocate the word, and he becometh barren unfruitful unproductive . But he that received seed into the fertile good rich ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth grasps comprehends it; which also beareth yields produces fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundred times century-fold hundredfold , some sixty sixty times sixtyfold , some thirty times thirtyfold thirty .
