8:11 The meaning of the parable about the seeds

(Mark 4:13-20, Mat. 13:18-23)

11So this is what the parable means: the seeds are God’s message. 12The seeds along the road are those who hear the message, but afterwards the devil comes along and snatches the message away from their hearts, so that they don’t believe or get saved. 13The seeds among the rocks are those who happily accept the message but don’t put down any roots, so they believe for a short time, and then when temptations come, they pull back from God. 14The seeds among the thistles are those who heard the message but get choked under worries and wealth and the good life, and so they never reach maturity. 15But the seeds in the good soil are those good people with good hearts and after hearing the message, they follow it, and produce fruit from their endurance.

11And this is the parable:
the seed is the message of_ the _god.
12And the ones along the road are the ones having_heard, thereafter the devil is_coming and is_taking_away the message from the heart of_them, in_order_that not having_believed they_may_be_saved.
13And the ones on the rock, who whenever they_may_hear with joy are_receiving the message, and these are_ not _having a_root, who for a_time are_believing, and in the_time of_temptation they_are_withdrawing_from.
14And the seed having_fallen into the thorns, these are the ones having_heard, and going are_being_choked under worries, and riches, and gratifications of_ the _living, and are_ not _brought_to_maturity.
15But the seed in the good soil, these are the_ones who in a_heart good and good, having_heard the message are_keeping it, and are_bearing_fruit by endurance.
