"And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word, "
— Mark 4:18, American Standard Version
“And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,”
“Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,”
“Others are the ones sown among thorns: They are those who hear the word,”
“And others there are who are sown among thorns: these are they that hear the word,”
“And others are those planted among the thorns; these are they who have given ear to the word,”
“And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,”
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; and when they have heard, straightway cometh Satan, and taketh away the word which hath been sown in them.
And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy;
and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble.
And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word,
and the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, and not to be put on the stand?
