19 The
seed that fell
on the footpath represents those who hear
the message about the Kingdom and don’t understand it. Then
the
evil one comes and snatches away the seed that was planted in their
hearts. 20The
seed on the rocky
soil represents those who hear the message and immediately receive it
with joy.21But
since they
don’t have deep roots, they don’t last long. They
fall away
as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing
God’s word.22The
seed
that fell among the thorns represents those who hear God’s
word,
but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this
life and the lure of wealth, so no fruit is produced.23The
seed that fell on good soil
represents those who truly hear and understand God’s word and
produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as
had been planted!”
