Contextual Overview
1One day Jesus rode down to the lake. There was such a large crowd that he jumped up on a stack of hay.
2He taught them a lot of things by telling them stories. He said,
3"A farmer went out to plant his fields.
4As he planted, some of the seeds fell on the road, and the birds ate it all up.
5Other seeds fell next to some rocks where there wasn't much dirt. The seeds took root quickly in the shallow soil,
6but they withered quickly because there was nowhere for the roots to go.
7Other seeds fell among the cactus and thistles. They sprouted, but were choked out by the thorns.
8And finally, some seeds found good soil and produced a lot of grain. Some of it yielded thirty times as much, some sixty, and still some a hundred times.
9Whoever has ears should be listening." 10Later on, when they were alone, some of his cowboys asked about the stories.

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
