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