When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.

(19) Everybody hearing the message of the Kingdom and not understanding. Evil comes and snatches away that sown in their heart. This is those sown beside the road.
The F.O.G
When anyone hears the message about God's Kingdom but doesn't understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is like the seed scattered on the pathway.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
Every one hearing the word of the reign, and not understanding—the evil one doth come, and doth catch that which hath been sown in his heart; this is that sown by the way.
