¹⁸“So listen to the parable of the sower: ¹⁹When anyone hears the word about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches what was sown in his heart; this is the seed sown along the path. ²⁰The seed sown on rocky ground is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy. ²¹But he has no root in himself and does not endure; when trouble or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he falls away. ²²The seed sown among thorns is the person who hears the word, but worldly cares and the seductiveness of wealth choke the word, so it produces nothing. ²³But as for the seed sown on good soil, this is the person who hears the word and understands. He bears fruit, yielding a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown.”
