15 For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’
16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

18 Consider, then, the parable of the sower:
19 When anyone hears the message of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.

21 But since he has no root, he remains for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.
