The Parable Of The Sower Interpreted
12 The ones by the path are those who hear, and then the devil comes and carries off the message from their hearts, so that they may not believe it and be saved. 13 The ones on the rock are those who receive the message joyfully when they first hear it, but it takes no real root. They believe for a little while, and then in the time of trial they draw back. 14 And what falls among the thorns means those who listen and pass on, and the worries and wealth and pleasures of life stifle them and they yield nothing.
