 The seed is the gospel message. But some fell by the wayside. And what is the wayside? We'll go over to verse 19. And when anyone 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 receiveth the seed by the wayside. Now the wayside is the path through the field. They call that the wayside.
