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

<b><i>and the two will become one fleshi>b>.<n id="1" /> So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels<n id="1" /> in heaven.

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

But<n id="1" /> they have no root in themselves and do not endure.<n id="2" /> Then, when trouble or persecution comes because of the word, immediately they fall away.

If I send them home hungry, they will faint on the way, and some of them have come from a great distance.&#8221;

These are the ones on the path where the word is sown: Whenever they hear, immediately Satan<n id="1" /> comes and snatches the word<n id="2" /> that was sown in them.

But<n id="1" /> these are the ones sown on good soil: They hear the word and receive it and bear fruit, one thirty times as much, one sixty, and one a hundred.&#8221;p>

Isn&#8217;t this the carpenter, the son<n id="1" /> of Mary<n id="2" /> and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And aren&#8217;t his sisters here with us?&#8221; And so they took offense at him.

And he said to them, &#8220;I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> there are some standing here who will not<n id="2" /> experience<n id="3" /> death before they see the kingdom of God come with power.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>
