10 And He said, “To you it has been given to know the1 mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that
a‘Seeing they may not see,
And hearing they may not understand.’
a‘Seeing they may not see,
And hearing they may not understand.’
The Parable of the Sower Explained
12 Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of1 temptation fall away.
14 Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, ariches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
