Mark 4:13-17

And He *said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How will you understand all the parables?

The sower sows the word.

These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

And in a similar way these are the ones sown with seed on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy;

and yet they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution occurs because of the word, immediately they fall away.
