Others are the ones sown among thorns: They are those who hear the word,

They devour widows’ property, and as a show make long prayers. These men will receive a more severe punishment.”

These are the ones sown on rocky ground: As soon as they hear the word, they receive it with joy.

Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is this that they are testifying against you?”

These are the ones on the path where the word is sown: Whenever they hear, immediately Satan comes and snatches the word that was sown in them.
