Riverside(i)
11 This is the illustration: The seed is the message of God.
12 Those by the roadside are those who hear, and then the Devil comes and takes away the message from their hearts so that they may not believe and be saved.
13 Those on the rock are those who, though they receive the message with joy, yet have no root, who for a while believe, but in the time of trial desert.
14 That which fell among thorns means those who hear, and as they go on are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life and bring nothing to completion.
15 That in the good ground means those who with a noble and good heart hear the message and hold it fast and bear fruit in patience.
