Matthew 13:21 in Context — Matthew 13

19 Quando alguém ouve a palavra do Reino e não a entende, o maligno vem e arranca o que foi semeado em seu coração; este é o que foi semeado junto ao caminho.

20 E o que foi semeado entre as pedras é o que ouve a palavra, e logo a recebe com alegria,

21 mas não tem raiz em si mesmo. Em vez disso, dura um pouco, mas quando vem a aflição ou a perseguição pela palavra, logo tropeça na fé.

22 E o que foi semeado entre os espinhos é o que ouve a palavra, mas a ansiedade com o tempo presente e a sedução das riquezas sufocam a palavra, e fica sem dar fruto.

23 Mas o que foi semeado em boa terra, este é o que ouve e entende a palavra, e o que dá e produz fruto, um a cem, outro a sessenta, e outro a trinta.
