Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he spake a parable unto them, saying,.... He supposed the following case, and made use of it by way of illustration of what he had said:
the ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully; who notwithstanding his riches, was but a fool, as the sequel shows; rich men are not always wise in things natural and civil; and very few of them are spiritually wise, or wise in spiritual things, in things which relate to the welfare of their souls; but however, this man was very prosperous in his worldly affairs, as a man of a small share of common sense may be, and wicked men often are: the word translated "ground", signifies a "region", or "country", which expresses the more, the riches of this man, that he had not a common and ordinary farm, but a whole country as it were; at least a very large part of one, and all this fruitful.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A parable - See the notes at Matthew 13:3.
Plentifully - His land was fertile, and produced even beyond his expectations, and beyond what he had provided for.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 12:16. The ground of a certain rich man, &c.] He had generally what is called good luck in his farm, and this was a remarkably plentiful year.
