Luca 8:7

7 Ed un’altra cadde per mezzo le spine; e le spine, nate insieme, l’affogarono.

Luca 8:7 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:7

And some fell among thorns
On ground which had within it the roots of thorns and briars; and design such hearers who have their hearts filled with worldly cares, and sensual lusts and pleasures:

and the thorns sprang up with it;
and grew faster than that:

and choked it;
as the above things do the word, and make it useless and unprofitable; so that though it took place for a while, and was professed, yet process of time was neglected and dropped; and, as Mark says, "it yielded no fruit"; at least that came to perfection.

Luca 8:7 In-Context

5 Un seminatore uscì a seminar la sua semenza; e mentre egli seminava, una parte cadde lungo la via, e fu calpestata, e gli uccelli del cielo la mangiarono tutta.

6 Ed un’altra cadde sopra la pietra; e come fu nata, si seccò; perciocchè non avea umore.

7 Ed un’altra cadde per mezzo le spine; e le spine, nate insieme, l’affogarono.

8 Ed un’altra cadde in buona terra; ed essendo nata, fece frutto, cento per uno. Dicendo queste cose, gridava: Chi ha orecchie da udire, oda.

9 E i suoi discepoli lo domandarono, che voleva dir quella parabola.
