Matthew 13:20-22
Lexham English Bible
20 And what was sown on the rocky ground—this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy. 21 But he does not have a root in himself, but lasts only a little while,[a] and when[b] affliction or persecution happens because of the word, immediately he falls away. 22 And what was sown into the thorn plants—this is the one who hears the word, and the anxiety of this world[c] and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word and it becomes unproductive.
