This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
As he sowed (en tōi speirein auton). Literally, “in the sowing as to him,” a neat Greek idiom unlike our English temporal conjunction. Locative case with the articular present infinitive.
By the wayside (para tēn hodon). People will make paths along the edge of a ploughed field or even across it where the seed lies upon the beaten track.
Devoured (katephagen). “Ate down.” We say, “ate up.” Second aorist active indicative of katesthiō (defective verb).
