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