Matius 13:20-21

13:20 The ¹  seed sown on rocky ground ²  is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy. 13:21 But he has no root in himself and does not endure; ³  when ⁴  trouble or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he falls away.

[13:20]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
