Mark 4:4
Douay-Rheims
And whilst he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate it up.
John Chrysostom
(ubi sup.) Further, as a sower does not make a distinction in the ground which is beneath him, but simply and without distinction puts in the seed, so also He Himself addresses all. And to signify this, He says, And as he sowed, some Jell by the way-side.
