Luke 8:13

The Parable Of The Sower Interpreted

¹² Those by the wayside are they that hear; then cometh the Devil and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved. ¹³ Those on the rocky ground are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root; and for a while they believe, and in time of temptation fall away. ¹⁴ And those seeds which fell among the thorns, these are they who, when they have heard, go away and are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
