Matthew 13:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he that received the seed by the way side.

²⁰ And he that received the seed upon stony ground, is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy.

²¹ Yet hath he not root in himself, but is only for a time: and when there ariseth tribulation and persecution because of the word, he is presently scandalized.
