Matthew 13:17-19

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁷ I can guarantee this truth: Many prophets and many of God’s people longed to see what you see but didn’t see it, to hear what you hear but didn’t hear it.

¹⁸ “Listen to what the story about the farmer means. ¹⁹ Someone hears the word about the kingdom but doesn’t understand it. The evil one comes at once and snatches away what was planted in him. This is what the seed planted along the road illustrates.
