And blessed is he, to whom I shall not be a stumbling block.

He is like a man who built a house, and digged 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, because it lacked moisture.

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