Mark 4:17 CPDV

¹⁵  Now there are those who are along the way, where the word is sown. And when they have heard it, Satan quickly comes and takes away the word, which was sown in their hearts.

¹⁶  And similarly, there are those who were sown upon stony ground. These, when they have heard the word, immediately accept it with gladness.

¹⁷  But they have no root in themselves, and so they are for a limited time. And when next tribulation and persecution arises because of the word, they quickly fall away.

¹⁸  And there are others who are sown among thorns. These are those who hear the word,

¹⁹  but worldly tasks, and the deception of riches, and desires about other things enter in and suffocate the word, and it is effectively without fruit.
