Williams(i)
14 The message is what the sower sows.
15 The ones along the path are those who have the message sown in their hearts, but as soon as it is sown there, Satan comes and carries off the message that has been sown in their hearts.
16 In like manner these are the ones sown on rocky ground; as soon as they hear the truth, they accept it with ecstasy,
17 but it does not take real root in them, and so they last only a little while; then when trouble or persecution comes on account of the truth, they at once fall by the way.
18 A different class are those people sown among the thorns. They are people who listen to the message,
19 but the worries of the times, the deceiving pleasures of being rich, and evil desires for other things, creep in and choke the truth out, and it yields nothing.
20 And the people sown in rich soil are the people who listen to the message and welcome it and yield thirty, sixty, even a hundredfold."
