When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path. The path-soil explanation: the word that is heard but not understood is immediately snatched away by the evil one. The lack of understanding is the condition that makes the snatching possible — the word that does not penetrate cannot take root. The evil one's snatching communicates that spiritual opposition is actively working against the kingdom's seed.
