The Parable Of The Sower Interpreted

15 The ones along the path are those who have the message sown in their hearts, but as soon as it is sown there, Satan comes and carries off the message that has been sown in their hearts. 16  In like manner these are the ones sown on rocky ground; as soon as they hear the truth, they accept it with ecstasy, 17 but it does not take real root in them, and so they last only a little while; then when trouble or persecution comes on account of the truth, they at once fall by the way.
