Matthew 13:19-21

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁹ “Whenever anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away that which was sown in his heart. And this is the one who has received the seed by the wayside.

²⁰ “And the one who received seed in the stony ground, is he who hears the word, and immediately, with joy, receives it,

²¹ “but he has no root in himself and endures but a season. For as soon as trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly stumbles.
