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