Marcos 4:5

5 Parte dela caiu em terreno pedregoso, onde não havia muita terra; e logo brotou, porque a terra não era profunda.

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

4 Enquanto lançava a semente, parte dela caiu à beira do caminho, e as aves vieram e a comeram.

5 Parte dela caiu em terreno pedregoso, onde não havia muita terra; e logo brotou, porque a terra não era profunda.

6 Mas, quando saiu o sol, as plantas se queimaram e secaram, porque não tinham raiz.

7 Outra parte caiu entre espinhos, que cresceram e sufocaram as plantas, de forma que ela não deu fruto.
