rsv Matthew:13:20-22
rsv@Matthew:13:20 @ As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;
rsv@Matthew:13:21 @ yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.
rsv@Matthew:13:22 @ As for what was sown among thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the delight in riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.
