Matthew 13:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ For, amen, I say to you, many prophets and just men have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them.

¹⁸ Hear you therefore the parable of the sower.

¹⁹ When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he that received the seed by the way side.
