Matthew 13:19 Context
17For verely I say vnto you, that many Prophets, and righteous men haue desired to see those things which yee see, and haue not seene them: and to heare those things which ye heare, and haue not heard them. 18¶ Heare ye therefore the parable of the sower. 19When any one heareth the word of the kingdome, and vnderstandeth it not, then commeth the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sowen in his heart: this is hee which receiued seede by the way side. 20But he that receiued the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, & anon with ioy receiueth it: 21Yet hath hee not root in himselfe, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
