Jesus
answered them, " To you it has been
granted to
know the
mysteries of the
kingdom of
heaven, but to them it has not been
granted.
19
"When
anyone hears the
word of the
kingdom and does not
understand it, the
evil one
comes and
snatches away what has been
sown in his
heart.
This is the one on whom seed was
sown beside the
road.
20
"The one on whom seed was
sown on the
rocky places,
this is the man who
hears the
word and
immediately receives it with
joy ;
22
"And the one on whom seed was
sown among the
thorns,
this is the man who
hears the
word, and the
worry of the
world and the
deceitfulness of
wealth choke the
word, and it
becomes unfruitful.
23
"And the one on whom seed was
sown on the
good soil,
this is the man who
hears the
word and
understands it;
who indeed bears fruit and
brings forth,
some a
hundredfold,
some sixty, and
some thirty."
