Matthew 13:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ Some seed fell on rocky ground, where there wasn’t much dirt. That seed ·grew [sprang up] very fast, because the ground was not deep. ⁶ But when the sun rose, the plants ·dried up [were scorched and withered], because they did not have deep roots. ⁷ Some other seed fell among thorny weeds, which grew and choked the good plants.
