And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.
These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.

In context
13 And he says to them, Do ye not know this parable? and how will ye be acquainted with all the parables?
14 The sower sows the word:
15 and these are they by the wayside where the word is sown, and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
16 And these are they in like manner who are sown upon the rocky places, who when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy,
17 and they have no root in themselves, but are for a time: then, tribulation arising, or persecution on account of the word, immediately they are offended.
18 And others are they who are sown among the thorns: these are they who have heard the word,
19 and the cares of life, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
