17 for assuredly, I say to you athat many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
The Parable of the Sower Explained
18 a“Therefore hear the parable of the sower:
19 When anyone hears the word aof the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.
20 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately areceives it with joy;
21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when atribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately bhe stumbles.
22 Now ahe who received seed bamong the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears afruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”
