Matthew 13:20 Context
18¶ Heare ye therefore the parable of the sower. 19When any one heareth the word of the kingdome, and vnderstandeth it not, then commeth the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sowen in his heart: this is hee which receiued seede by the way side. 20But he that receiued the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, & anon with ioy receiueth it: 21Yet hath hee not root in himselfe, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22He also that receiued seed among the thorns, is he that heareth the word, and the care of this world, and the deceitfulnesse of riches choke the word, and he becommeth vnfruitfull.

13:20 The seed sown on stony places, therefore sprang up soon, because it did not sink deep, #Mt 13:5|. He receiveth it with joy - Perhaps with transport, with ecstacy: struck with the beauty of truth, and drawn by the preventing grace of God.
