Matthew 13:19 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

When any one heareth the word, and considereth it not — The first and most general cause of unfruitfulness. The wicked one cometh — Either inwardly; filling the mind with thoughts of other things; or by his agent. Such are all they that introduce other subjects, when men should be considering what they have heard.

Matthew 13:19

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.
