Lucas 8:6 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:6

And some fell upon a rock
Which the other evangelists call "stony places", and "stony ground"; by which are meant such hearers whose hearts are, hardened through the deceitfulness of sin, and continue so notwithstanding the preaching of the word unto them.

And as soon as it sprung up;
as it did immediately, as the other evangelists say; and that for this reason, which they give, "because it had no depth of earth"; only a small crust, or shell of earth over the rock; and signifies, that these hearers had only a superficial knowledge of the word, and hastily made a profession of it, which soon came to nothing:

it withered away, because it lacked moisture;
the other evangelists say, "when the sun was up, it was scorched"; meaning tribulation and persecution, the grace of God being wanting to support under fiery trials: the reason given in Matthew and Mark why it withered, is,

because it had no root;
and so read the Persic and Ethiopic versions here.

Lucas 8:6 In-Context

4 Habi茅ndose congregado una gran multitud, y los que de varias ciudades acud铆an a El, les habl贸 por par谩bola:
5 El sembrador sali贸 a sembrar su semilla; y al sembrarla, una parte cay贸 junto al camino, y fue pisoteada y las aves del cielo se la comieron.
6 Otra parte cay贸 sobre la roca, y tan pronto como creci贸, se sec贸, porque no ten铆a humedad.
7 Otra parte cay贸 en medio de los espinos; y los espinos, al crecer con ella, la ahogaron.
8 Y otra parte cay贸 en tierra buena, y creci贸 y produjo una cosecha a ciento por uno. Y al hablar estas cosas, Jes煤s exclamaba: El que tiene o铆dos para o铆r, que oiga.
