Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Mark 4:5

_ _ Mark 4:5, Mark 4:16. \i1 Second Case: The stony or rather, rocky ground.par 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.
