Mark 4:6 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:6

But when the sun was up, it was scorched
When persecution arose because of the word, and that became very hot and vehement, it tried and pierced through this thin speculative knowledge of the word, which could not stand before it, and bear the heat of it:

and because it had no root, it withered away;
the word had only a place in the head, and not in the heart; wherefore the profession of it was soon dropped, and came to nothing.

Mark 4:6 In-Context

4 And it fortuned as he sowed that some fell by the waye syde and the fowles of the ayre came and devoured it vp.
5 Some fell on stony grounde where it had not moche erth: and by and by sprange vp because it had not deepth of erth:
6 but as sone as the sunne was vp it caught heet and because it had not rotynge wyddred awaye.
7 And some fell amonge the thornes and the thornes grewe vp and choked it so that it gave no frute.
8 And some fell vpon good grounde and dyd yelde frute that sproge and grewe and brought forthe: some thirty folde some sixtie folde and some an hundred folde.
