Mark 4:15-20
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
15 Now these people are the ones along the road, where the word is sown. And when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word having been sown into them. 16 And these people are the ones being sown the seed on the rocky places— who, when they hear the word, immediately are receiving it with joy. 17 And they do not have a root in themselves, but are temporary[a]. Then affliction or persecution having come about because of the word, immediately they are caused-to-fall. 18 And other people are the ones being sown the seed into the thorns. These are the ones having heard the word— 19 and coming-in, the anxieties[b] of the age[c] and the deceitfulness[d] of riches and the desires with respect to the other things are choking the word, and it becomes unfruitful[e]. 20 And those people are the ones having been sown[f] the seed on the good soil, who are hearing[g] the word and accepting it and bearing-fruit— thirty fold and sixty fold and a hundred fold”.

- Mark 4:20 That is, listening to, in the sense of ‘obeying’. Note the change of tense that stresses continuous action here (are hearing), in contrast to the first three soils.
