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 De cada pueblo sal铆a gente para ver a Jes煤s, y cuando se reuni贸 una gran multitud, 茅l les cont贸 esta par谩bola:
5 芦Un sembrador sali贸 a sembrar. Al esparcir la semilla, una parte cay贸 junto al camino; fue pisoteada, y los p谩jaros se la comieron.
6 Otra parte cay贸 sobre las piedras y, cuando brot贸, las plantas se secaron por falta de humedad.
7 Otra parte cay贸 entre espinos que, al crecer junto con la semilla, la ahogaron.
8 Pero otra parte cay贸 en buen terreno; as铆 que brot贸 y produjo una cosecha del ciento por uno禄.Dicho esto, exclam贸: 芦El que tenga o铆dos para o铆r, que oiga禄.
