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
And some fell among thorns,.... The word was ministered to some who were eat up with the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and other lusts:
and the thorns grew up, and choked it; the word did not take place so as to beat down, overcome, and root out these things, nor even to weaken, and keep under, and prevent the influence of them; but these got the ascendant of the word, and prevailed over it, and made it altogether useless and unsuccessful: for whilst it was administered, the minds of these persons were after their riches and worldly things, and gave no heed to the word; and last were prevailed upon, not to attend upon it, but drop the profession of it:
and it yielded no fruit; it was not the means of grace; faith did not come by it, nor any other grace; nor did it produce good works in the life and conversation.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
