The Parable Of The Sower Interpreted

20 But he that was sown in the stony ground, is he which heareth the word of God, and anon with joy receiveth it, 21 yet hath no roots in himself, and therefore dureth but a season: for as soon as tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he falleth. 22 He that was sown among thorns, is he that heareth the word of God, but the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and so is he made unfruitful.
