Matthew 13:17-19
New Matthew Bible
17 Truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things that you see, and have not seen them, and to hear those things that you hear, and have not heard them.
18 Hear therefore the similitude of the sower. 19 Whosoever hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, there comes the evil one, and catches away that which was sown in his heart; and this is he who received the seed by the wayside.

Matthew 13:17-19
New International Version
17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see(A) but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
18 “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom(B) and does not understand it, the evil one(C) comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
