Mark 4:15-19
New American Standard Bible
15 These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately (A)Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them. 16 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; 17 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 [a]fall away. 18 And others are the ones sown with seed among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word, 19 but the worries of (B)the [b]world, and the (C)deceitfulness of wealth, and the desires for other things enter and choke the word, and it [c]becomes unfruitful.
