"The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
As for what was sown on thin (rocky) soil, this is he who hears the Word and at once welcomes and accepts it with joy;
And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it;
As for the seed that was spread on rocky ground, this refers to people who hear the word and immediately receive it joyfully.
Then whoever has received the seed upon a rocky place, this is one who hears the word and promptly accepts it with joy.
