	ο	σπειρων	τον	λογον	σπειρει
	the	scattering	the	word	scatters

Transliteration: ho speirōn ton logon speirei

₁₄ The ^one sowing sows the word,

ουτοι 　 δε 　 εισιν 　 οι 　 παρα 　 την 　 οδον　 　 οπου 　 these　 　 but　 　 are　 　 the　 　 along　 　 the 　 path　 　 where 　 　 σπειρεται 　 ο 　 λογος 　 και 　 οταν 　 ακουσωσιν 　 ευθεως 　 ερχεται 　 is scattered 　 the 　 word 　 and 　 when 　 they hear 　 without delay 　 he comes 　 　 ο 　 σατανας 　 και 　 αιρει 　 τον 　 λογον 　 τον 　 εσπαρμενον 　 the 　 Satan 　 and 　 takes away 　 the 　 word 　 the 　 having been scattered 　 　 εν 　 ταις 　 καρδιας 　 αυτων 　 　 　 　 in 　 the 　 hearts 　 of them
Transliteration: outoi de eisin oi para tén odon opou speiretai o logos kai otan akousōsin eutheōs erchetai o satanas kai 　　　airei ton logon ton esparmenon en tais kardias autōn

₁₅ but these are the path upon which the word is scattered: _and When they hear, Satan
　　immediately comes and takes away the word having been sown in their hearts

και 　 ουτοι 　 εισιν 　 ομοιως 　 οι 　 επι 　 τα 　 πετρωδη 　 and 　 these 　 are 　 equally 　 upon 　 the 　 the 　 rocky 　 　 σπειρομενοι 　 οι 　 οταν 　 ακοθσωσιν 　 των 　 λογον 　 ευθεως 　 μετα 　 are scattered 　 the 　 when 　 they hear 　 the 　 word 　 immediately 　 with 　 　 χαρας 　 λαμβανοθσιν 　 αυτον 　 　 　 　 　 　 joy 　 receive 　 it
Transliteration: kai houtoi eisin omoiōs oi epi ta petrōdé speiromenoi oi otan akousōsin tōn logon eutheōs meta charas 　　　lambanousin auton

₁₆ And these are the like - the rocky ^soil upon which ^{the seeds} are scattered - who,
 　　when they hear the word, immediately ^and with joy receive it,

	και	ουκ	εχουσιν	πιζαν	εν	εαυτοις	αλλα	προσκαιροι
	and	not	they have	root	in	themselves	but	for a limited time
	εισιν	ειτα	γενομενης	θλιψεως	η	διωγμου	δια	τον
	are	then	having arisen	tribulation	or	persecution	through	the
	λογον	ευθεως	σκανδαλιζονται
	word	without delay	they fall away

Transliteration:kai ouk exousin rizan en eautois alla proskairoi eisin eita genomenés thlipseōs é diōgmou dia ton logon 　　eutheōs skandalizontai

₁₇ but ^only for a short time, and they have no root in themselves . Then, tribulation or
 　　persecution having arisen because of the word, they soon fall away.

	και	ουτοι	εισιν	οι	εις	τας	ακανθας	σπειρομενοι
	and	these	are	the	into	the	thorns	are scattered
	οι	τον	λογον	ακοθοντες
	the	the	word	having heard

Transliteration: kai outoi eisin oi eis tas akanthas speiromenoi hoi ton logon akouontes

₁₈ and these are the thorns among which the seeds are scattered: the ^ones having  
　　heard the word

	και	αι	μεριμναι	του	αιωνος	τουτου	και	η
	and	the	cares	of the	of current age	this	and	the
	απατη	του	πλουτου	και	αι	περι	τα	λοιπα
	deceit	of the	of riches	and	the	about	the	other
	επιθυμιαι	εισπορευομεναι	συμπνιγουσιν	τον	λογον	και	ακαρπος	γινεται
	desires	entering in	they choke	the	word	and	barren	it becomes

Transliteration: kai ai merimnai tou aiōnos toutou kai é apaté tou ploutou kai ai peri ta loipa epithumiai eisporeuomenai 　　sumpnigousin ton logon kai akarpos ginetai

₁₉ but the cares of this age, and the deceit of riches, and other desires intervene and choke
　　the word, making it unfruitful

	και	ουτοι	εισιν	οι	επι	την	γην	την
	and	these	are	the	earth	the
	καλην	σπαρεντες	οιτινες	ακουουσιν	τον	λογον	και	παραδεχονται
	good	having been scattered	whoever	they hear	the	word	and	they receive
	και	καρποφορουσιν	εν	τριακοντα	και	εν	εξηκοντα	και
	and	they produce fruit	in	thirty	and	in	sixty	and

Transliteration: kai houtoi eisin oi epi tén gén tén kalén sparentes oitines akouousin ton logon kai paradechontai kai 　　karpothousin en triakonta kai en hexékonta kai en hekaton.

₂₀ and these are the good earth upon which ^{the seeds} are scattered: all who
　　hear the word, and welcome ^it, and bear fruit; thirty^fold, or sixty, or a hundred.
