Mark 4:5
And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth—"the rocky ground"; in Matthew (Matthew 13:5), "the rocky places"; in Luke (Luke 8:6), "the rock." The thing intended is, not ground with stones in it which would not prevent the roots striking downward, but ground where a quite thin surface of earth covers a rock. What means this? See on Mark 4:16.
Third Case: THE THORNY GROUND. (Mark 4:7, Mark 4:18-19).
