Verse 14, The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.
14E wetseng meutlweng, ke ba utlwang, mme kgabareng ba bipetswe ke dikgathatso, maruo le menyaka ya bophelo, mme ha ba fihle ho butsweng.
