Mark 4:14

12that ‘seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sins should be forgiven them.’”

13He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?

14The farmer sows the word.

15The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

16These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
