Contextual Overview
1 Jesus began to teach by the sea-shore again. Many people gathered around Him. There were so many He had to get into a boat and sit down. The people were on the shore. 2 He taught them many things by using picture-stories. As He taught, He said, 3 "Listen! A man went out to plant seed. 4 As he planted the seed, some fell by the side of the road. Birds came and ate them. 5 Some seed fell among rocks. It came up at once because there was so little ground. 6 But it dried up when the sun was high in the sky because it had no root. 7 Some seed fell among thorns. The thorns grew and did not give the seed room to grow. This seed gave no grain. 8 Some seed fell on good ground. It came up and grew and gave much grain. Some gave thirty times as much grain. Some gave sixty times as much grain. Some gave one hundred times as much grain." 9 He said to them, "You have ears, then listen!" 10 Those who were with Jesus and the twelve followers came to Him when He was alone. They asked about the picture-story.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
