And that which fell among the thorns, these are they that have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

And those which went among thorns are those who have given hearing, and go on their way, but they are overcome by cares and wealth and the pleasures of life, and they give no fruit.

Το δε πεσον εις τας ακανθας, ουτοι ειναι εκεινοι οιτινες ηκουσαν, και υπο μεριμνων και πλουτου και ηδονων του βιου υπαγουσι και συμπνιγονται και δεν τελεσφορουσι.

And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
