13Matthew 13:19

17For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.Select Matthew 13:17

18Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.Select Matthew 13:18

19When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.Select Matthew 13:19

20But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;Select Matthew 13:20

21Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.Select Matthew 13:21
