Matthew 13:17-19

Living Bible

¹⁷ Many a prophet and godly man has longed to see what you have seen and hear what you have heard, but couldn’t.

¹⁸ “Now here is the explanation of the story I told about the farmer planting grain: ¹⁹ The hard path where some of the seeds fell represents the heart of a person who hears the Good News about the Kingdom and doesn’t understand it; then Satan^[a] comes and snatches away the seeds from his heart.
