Luke 8:13

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
World English Bible (WEB)
{G1161} They on{G1909} the rock{G4073} are they, which{G3739}, when{G3752} they hear{G191}{(G5661)}, receive{G1209}{(G5736)} the word{G3056} with{G3326} joy{G5479}; and{G2532} these{G3778} have{G2192}{(G5719)} no{G3756} root{G4491}, which{G3739} for{G4314} a while{G2540} believe{G4100}{(G5719)}, and{G2532} in{G1722} time{G2540} of temptation{G3986} fall away{G868}{(G5736)}.
Strong's King James
(13) The ones on the rock, these hear, receive The Word with joy and having no root these who believe for a time, in temptation's time, depart away.
The F.O.G*
[13] The rocky soil represents superficial faith – people who receive the message joyfully but lack spiritual depth. When trials come, their faith withers like plants without roots.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
‘And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
Young's Literal Translation
