What might this parable mean? And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables: that seeing they may not perceive, and hearing may not comprehend. Now this is the parable: The seed is the word of God. They by the road side, are such as hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh the word from their heart, that they should not be saved in believing.
