13 [The ones] that are on the rock are [those] that receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they do not have [any] root; they believe for [ter = through] a time, but in a time of testing they fall away. 14 [Those] that fell among the thorns, they are [the ones] that have heard, but being carried away by the anxieties of this life and by riches and by joys, they are choked and complete nothing. 15 But [the ones] that are on the good soil, they are [the ones] that hear the word with a good and beautiful heard and keep it and make fruit by steadfastness.
16 [There] is no one who, after kindling a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but he puts it on the lampstand, allowing [the ones] that come inside to look at the light. 17 And [there] is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, or anything veiled that will not ever be known or easily seen.
