Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ So, too, those meant by the seed sown on the rocky places are the people who, when they have heard the Message, at once accept it joyfully; ¹⁷ But, as they have no root, they stand only for a short time; and so, when trouble or persecution arises on account of the Message, they fall away at once. ¹⁸ Those meant by the seed sown among the brambles are different; they are the people who hear the Message, ¹⁹ But the cares of life, and the glamour of wealth, and cravings for many other things come in and completely choke the Message, so that it gives no return. ²⁰ But the people meant by the seed sown on the good ground are those who hear the Message, and welcome it, and yield a return, thirty, sixty, and even a hundred fold."
