Mark 4:14-17 English Standard Version (ESV)

14. The sower sows the word.

15. And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown: when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in them.

16. And these are the ones sown on rocky ground: the ones who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy.

17. And they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away.
