Matthew 13:19-22 When anyone hears the message of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one i.e., the devil comes to him and grabs away what had been sown in his heart. This is the person who was scattered to the side of the road.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ When anyone hears the message of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one [i.e., the devil] comes to him and grabs away what had been sown in his heart. This is the person who was scattered to the side of the road. ²⁰ And the person who was sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the message and immediately welcomes it joyfully, ²¹ but since he has such a shallow root, he lasts for [only] a short while. Then when trouble or persecution comes because of the message, immediately he falls away [from God]. ²² And the person who was sown among the thorns is the one who hears the message, but the anxieties of the world [i.e., of life] and the deceptiveness of [material] riches choke the message and he becomes unproductive.
