Luke 8:13-15 Those on the rock are those who, though they receive the message with joy, yet have no root, who for a while believe, but in the time of trial desert.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Those on the rock are those who, though they receive the message with joy, yet have no root, who for a while believe, but in the time of trial desert. ¹⁴ That which fell among thorns means those who hear, and as they go on are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life and bring nothing to completion. ¹⁵ That in the good ground means those who with a noble and good heart hear the message and hold it fast and bear fruit in patience.
