He that received seed on the rocky places is he that hears the word and immediately receives it with joy

And these in like manner are those sown on the rocky places; when they hear the word, they immediately receive it with joy,

those on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy, and they have no root; they believe for a time, and in a time of trial fall away;

And he that received seed among thorns is he that hears the word, and the cares of this life and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

But that on the good ground signifies those who, with a noble and good heart, hearing the word retain it, and bear fruit persistently.

And these are those sown in good ground, who hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruit, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.

And he said, The God of our fathers chose you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and hear the voice of his mouth,

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man perceiving his natural face in a glass;

But he that looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, not being a forgetful hearer but a doer of work, he shall be blessed in his doing.

And as the multitude pressed upon him to hear the word of God, and he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,

And on the following sabbath almost all the city came together to hear the word of the Lord.

But I say, Did they not hear? Yes indeed; their voice went into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
