The Worries of This World

Jesus said in Mark 4:7,

Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it didn’t produce a crop.

Then He explained this part of the parable in verses 7-18:

Others are like seed sown among thorns; these are the ones who hear the word, but the worries of this age, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
