20 And what was sown upon the rocky soil means the man who hears the message and at once accepts it joyfully, 21 but it takes no real root in him, and lasts only a little while, and when trouble or persecution comes because of the message, he gives it up at once. 22 And what was sown among the thorns means the man who listens to the message, and then the worries of the time and the pleasure of being rich choke the message out, and it yields nothing.
