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