Contextual Overview
4 And, seeing that a great multitude were coming together, and they who from every city were journeying forth unto him, he spake through means of a parable: - 5 The sower went forth to sow his seed, - and, as he sowed, some, indeed, fell beside the pathway, and was trodden down; and, the birds of heaven, devoured it. 6 And, other, fell down upon the rock; and, growing, was withered, because it had not moisture. 7 And, other, fell and thorns; and, growing together, the thorns, choked it. 8 And, other, fell into good ground; and, growing, brought forth fruit, a hundredfold. These things, saying, he went on to cry aloud - He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 9 But his disciples began to question him - What might, this very, parable be? 10 And, he, said - Unto you, hath it been given, to get to know the sacred secrets of the kingdom of God; but, unto the rest, in parables, - in order that, seeing, they may not see, and, hearing, they may not understand. 11 Now the parable, is this - The seed, is, the word of God. 12 And, those beside the pathway, are they who have heard; afterwards, cometh the adversary, and catcheth away the word from their heart, lest, believing, they should, be saved. 13 And, those upon the rock, are they who, as soon as they hear, with joy, welcome the word; and, these, not having, root, are they who, for a season, believe, - and, in a season of testing, draw back.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Those by the wayside are they that hear,.... The word of God, though only by accident, and very carelessly, and without understanding what they hear:
then cometh the devil; signified by the fowls of the air:
and taketh away the word out of their hearts, or memories; that little of it, which is retained there, and diverts their minds from it by other objects; so that they quite forget what they have heard;
lest they should believe, and be saved: this clause is only in Luke; and with it may be compared 2 Corinthians 4:4 for with true faith in Christ the sum and substance of the word salvation is connected; and Satan being an enemy to the salvation of souls, does all he can to hinder their faith in him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the parable of the sower explained in the notes at Matthew 13:1-23.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 8:12. Those by the way side — Bishop PEARCE thinks that Luke by ον here means σποροι, the seeds, though he acknowledges that he has never found such a word as σποροι in the plural number signifying seeds.
