They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

And those on the rock are they who, when they have heard, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

By the seed which fell on the rock are meant those who, as soon as they hear the message, welcome it joyfully; but they have no root, and believe it only for a time, and, when the time of temptation comes, they draw back.

Die aber auf dem Felsen sind die, welche, wenn sie hören, das Wort mit Freuden aufnehmen; und diese haben keine Wurzel, welche für eine Zeit glauben und in der Zeit der Versuchung abfallen.

Y los de sobre la piedra, son los que habiendo oído, reciben la palabra con gozo; mas éstos no tienen raíces; que á tiempo creen, y en el tiempo de la tentación se apartan.

E os que estão sobre a pedra são os que, quando ouvem, recebem a palavra com alegria, mas esses não têm raiz, pois creem por algum tempo, mas no tempo da tentação se desviam.

As sementes que caíram no solo rochoso são aqueles que ouvem a Palavra, recebem-na com alegria, mas não criam raízes. Eles acreditam por um tempo e em tempo de provação se desviam.
