Still others are the ones sown among the thorns

"These people are the seeds that fall among the thorns" or "These people are like seeds that fall among the thorns." In verse 14, what the sower sows is "the word." Here Jesus speaks of what the sower sows as those who hear the word. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
