He is like a man who built a house, and dug deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

Those on the rock are they, who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for awhile believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

Then came to him his mother and his brothers, and could not reach him for the crowd.
