Marcos 4:5 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:5

And some fell on stony ground
The word was preached to some persons who had hearts of stone, and which remained so:

where it had not much earth;
and so could be received only in a notional and superficial way, but could take no place, so as to produce any good effect:

and immediately it sprung up;
a sudden and hasty profession of the word was made, without a powerful experience of it:

because it had no depth of earth;
if it had, it would have been longer in coming up; more work would have been done by it, which would have required more time, before a profession of it had been made.

Marcos 4:5 In-Context

3 Ouvi: Eis que o semeador saiu a semear;

4 e aconteceu que, quando semeava, uma parte da semente caiu � beira do caminho, e vieram as aves e a comeram.

5 Outra caiu no solo pedregoso, onde não havia muita terra: e logo nasceu, porque não tinha terra profunda;

6 mas, saindo o sol, queimou-se; e, porque não tinha raiz, secou-se.

7 E outra caiu entre espinhos; e cresceram os espinhos, e a sufocaram; e não deu fruto.
