Mark 4:16-17 And these are they in like manner who are sown upon the rocky places, who when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy,

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ And these are they in like manner who are sown upon the rocky places, who when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy, ¹⁷ and they have no root in themselves, but are for a time: then, tribulation arising, or persecution on account of the word, immediately they are offended.
