Holman Christian Standard Bible

15 These[a] are the ones along the path(A) where the word is sown: when they hear, immediately Satan(B) comes and takes away the word(C) sown in them.[b] 16 And these are[c] the ones sown on rocky ground: when they hear the word, immediately they receive it with joy.(D) 17 But they have no root in themselves; they are short-lived. When pressure(E) or persecution comes because of the word, they immediately stumble.(F)

Lexham English Bible

15 And these are the ones beside the path where the word is sown, and whenever they hear it,[a] immediately Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. 16 And these are like[b] the ones sown on the rocky ground, who whenever they hear the word immediately receive it with joy. 17 And they have no root in themselves, but are temporary. Then when[c] affliction or persecution comes because of the word, immediately they fall away.

Mark 4:15-17
New International Version

15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan(A) comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. 16 Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. 17 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.

Mark 4:15-17
Good News Translation

15 Some people are like the seeds that fall along the path; as soon as they hear the message, Satan comes and takes it away. 16 Other people are like the seeds that fall on rocky ground. As soon as they hear the message, they receive it gladly. 17 But it does not sink deep into them, and they don't last long. So when trouble or persecution comes because of the message, they give up at once.
