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