Bible verse
Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
Matthew 13:5 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 13.
1 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.
2 Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.
3 And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.
4 And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
6 But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.
8 Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.
9 He who has ears, let him hear.”
