16 “Ustedes, pues, escuchen la ilustración del hombre que sembró. Cuando alguien oye la palabra del reino pero no capta el sentido de ella, viene el inicuo y arrebata lo que se sembró en su corazón; éste es el que se sembró a lo largo del camino. En cuanto al que se sembró sobre los pedregales, éste es el que oye la palabra y al instante la acepta con gozo. Sin embargo, no tiene raíz en sí mismo, pero continúa por un tiempo, y después que ha surgido tribulación o persecución a causa de la palabra, al instante se le hace tropezar. En cuanto al que se sembró entre los espinos, éste es el que oye la palabra, pero la inquietud de este sistema de cosas y el poder engañoso de las riquezas ahogan la palabra, y se hace infructífero. En cuanto al que se sembró sobre la tierra excelente, éste es el que oye la palabra y capta el sentido de ella, que verdaderamente lleva fruto y produce, éste de a ciento por uno, aquél de a sesenta, el otro de a treinta.”—Mat. 13:3-8, 18-23.
