When people hear the message about the kingdom, but they don’t understand it, the evil one comes and steals what was planted in their hearts. Those people are like the seed that landed on the path.
Some of the seed that was scattered fell on a path. It stands for what happens when people hear the message but then Satan comes immediately and takes away what was planted in them.
The seed on the path is God’s message in the hearts of those who hear, but the devil comes and takes the message away from their hearts. They won’t believe and be saved.
