9Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.
10He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that,
‘though seeing, they may not see;
though hearing, they may not understand.’
11Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
12The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
— Luke 8:9-12
