The seeds that fell on rocky ground stand for those who receive the message gladly as soon as they hear it, but it does not sink deep into them, and they don’t last long. When trouble or persecution comes because of the message, they give up at once The seeds that fell among thorn bushes stand for those who hear the message but the worries about this life and the love for riches choke the message, and they don’t bear fruit. And the seeds sown in the good soil stand for those who hear the message and understand it
