Matthew 13:20-22

Context
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. 13:22 The 5  seed sown among thorns is the person who hears the word, but worldly cares and the seductiveness of wealth 6  choke the word, 7  so it produces nothing.
