Matthew 13:20-21
13:20 The 1 seed sown on rocky ground 2 is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.
13:21 But he has no root in himself and does not endure; 3 when 4 trouble or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he falls away.
1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
2 tn Grk “The one sown on rocky ground, this is the one.” The next two statements like this one have this same syntactical structure.
