ગુજરાતીમાથ્થી ૧૩:૧૯
‘જયારે રાજ્યનું વચન કોઈ સાંભળે છે, પણ સમજતો નથી, ત્યારે શેતાન આવીને તેના મનમાં જે વાવેલું તે છીનવી લઈ જાય છે; રસ્તાની કોરે જે બીજ વાવેલું તે એ જ છે.
हिन्दीमत्ती १३:१९
जो कोई राज्य का वचन सुनकर नहीं समझता, उसके मन में जो कुछ बोया गया था, उसे वह दुष्ट आकर छीन ले जाता है; यह वही है, जो मार्ग के किनारे बोया गया था।
