Mark 4:13-20
The Parable of the Sower Explained
13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
13:
14 The sower soweth the word.
14:
15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
15:
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
16:
17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
17:
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
18:
19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
19:
20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive [it], and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
20:
