Matthew 13:19
The Scripture
(19) When 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.
Chapter overview (whole chapter)
Matthew 13 opens with Jesus teaching from a boat in parables, beginning with the Sower and explaining to his disciples why he speaks this way. He adds the parables of the tares, the mustard seed, the leaven, the hidden treasure, the pearl, and the net. The chapter closes with Jesus returning to Nazareth, where the people take offense at his humble origins and he does few miracles because of their unbelief.
