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 Oid: He aquí, el sembrador salió á sembrar.

4 Y aconteció sembrando, que una parte cayó junto al camino; y vinieron las aves del cielo, y la tragaron.

5 Y otra parte cayó en pedregales, donde no tenía mucha tierra; y luego salió, porque no tenía la tierra profunda:

6 Mas salido el sol, se quemó; y por cuanto no tenía raíz, se secó.

7 Y otra parte cayó en espinas; y subieron las espinas, y la ahogaron, y no dió fruto.
