Μᾶρκον 4:17

δεν εχουσιν ομως ριζαν εν εαυτοις, αλλ' ειναι προσκαιροι· επειτα οταν γεινη θλιψις η διωγμος δια τον λογον, ευθυς σκανδαλιζονται.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And have no root in themselves,.... The word has no root in their hearts, only in their natural affections: nor is the root of grace in them; there is no heart work, only speculative notions, and flashy affections:

and so endure but for a time: they continue hearers and professors of the Gospel but for a small season; like the Jews, who rejoiced in the ministry of John the Baptist for a while, and then left him:

afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. As soon as any small degree of trouble comes upon them, and especially when there is a hot persecution of the professors of religion, because of the Gospel they have embraced; such hearers are stumbled at these things, and cannot bear the loss of any thing, or endure any thing severe for the sake of the word they have professed a pleasure in; and therefore, rather than suffer, they relinquish at once their profession of it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 13:18-23.
