In context

9 And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.
10 To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see and hearing may not understand.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 And they by the way side are they that hear: then the devil cometh and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved.
13 Now they upon the rock are they who when they hear receive the word with joy: and these have no roots: for they believe for a while and in time of temptation they fall away.
