Matthew:13:18-23
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower .
*
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom ,
and understandeth it not ,
then cometh the wicked one ,
and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart .
This is he which received seed by the way side .
*
But he that received the seed into stony places ,
the same is he that heareth the word ,
and anon with joy receiveth it ;
*
Yet hath he not root in himself ,
but dureth for a while :
for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word ,
by and by he is offended .
*
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word ;
and the care of this world ,
and the deceitfulness of riches ,
choke the word ,
and he becometh unfruitful .
*
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word ,
and understandeth it ;
which also beareth fruit ,
and bringeth forth ,
some an hundredfold ,
some sixty ,
some thirty .
