Matthew 13:20 ASV

¹⁸  Hear then ye the parable of the sower.

¹⁹  When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, `then' cometh the evil `one', and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side.

²⁰  And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it;

²¹  yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth.

²²  And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
