还有那撒在荆棘里的，就是人听了道，

还有那撒在荆棘里的，就是人听了道，

还有那撒在荆棘里的，就是人听了道，

种子落在荆棘丛中，是指人虽然听过道，

那撒在荆棘里的，是指另一些人；他们听了道，

那被撒进话语的‘荆棘丛’是另外一些人，那些人是这样的：他们听了这话语，

還有那撒在荊棘裏的，就是人聽了道，

還有那撒在荊棘裏的，就是人聽了道，

還有那撒在荊棘裏的，就是人聽了道，

那撒在荊棘裡的，是指另一些人；他們聽了道，

另有的是那些撒到荊棘裏的：這些是人聽了道，

那被撒進話語的『荊棘叢』是另外一些人，那些人是這樣的：他們聽了這話語，

Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word;

And what is seed scattered among thorns like? The people hear the message.

And others are the ones sown among thorns. They are those who hear the word,

Others are like seed sown among thorns; these are the ones who hear the word,

And others are the ones sown with seed among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,

Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word,

And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word,

Others are sown among thorns; these are the ones who hear the word,

And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

Others are the ones sown among thorns: They are those who hear the word,

Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,

The seeds that fell among the thorns represent those who hear the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life. And so they never grow into maturity.

The seed that fell among the thorns represents those who hear God’s word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life and the lure of wealth, so no fruit is produced.

Other seed fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants so they produced no grain.

This is what the Lord says to the people of Judah and Jerusalem:“ Plow up the hard ground of your hearts! Do not waste your good seed among thorns.
