# These are the ones along the path

"These people are the seeds that fall along the path" or "These people are like seeds that fall along a path." In [verse 14](./14.md), what the sower sows is "the word." Here Jesus speaks of what the sower sows as those who hear the word. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# When they hear

"When they hear the word"
